Last weekend, I took Missbunny and her friend to a local flower show. The organizer was showcasing tulips, which is one of my favorite flowers. The floral display was inspired by Madurodam, a miniature park in the Netherlands, and after spending a couple of hours admiring the variety of tulip species I dream that one day I can see the tulips at Keukenhof (with Missbunny of course).
"When one flower blooms spring awakens everywhere". Last weekend, I took Missbunny and her friend to a local flower show. The organizer was showcasing tulips, which is one of my favorite flowers. The floral display was inspired by Madurodam, a miniature park in the Netherlands, and after spending a couple of hours admiring the variety of tulip species I dream that one day I can see the tulips at Keukenhof (with Missbunny of course). I took many many pictures, as it was a beautifully lighted day. It was such a joy to see so many colorful flowers in one place. Below is a selection of photos of Missbunny and her friend enjoying the day too. Hope you like the pictures.

I would love to simplify my life and live with less clutter in a pretty and cosy caravan like this. It would be a great vehicle to travel and see the world, and I would always have a companion in the trusty pony that pulls the caravan. This Sylvanian Dream Issue was released in 1989. The JP set includes a pink caravan and an adorable winged grey pony. The caravan looks to be the same as the Original Sylvanian Families Caravan by Tomy, which was produced in the same year 1989, except for the color theme of the carriage and the nature of the pony. The Original Sylvanian Families Caravan is pulled by Bramble the grey pony. This winged pony pulls the pink caravan and takes off into the sky (as per the promo picture on the box of the set). Who wants to travel in an airplane when one can fly off in such a classy caravan. My winged pony is missing its original accessories so I have made my own. The side of the caravan opens up, and the roof can be removed: Most of the original accessories are shown in the photo, but I have taken the liberty to add other items to make the caravan look more lived-in. Below is some detail of the back of the caravan. I like that you can hang any number of things you might need for a particular adventure at the back....such as a pail, a kerosene lamp, a washing tub, a rope etc. There is also space to hang a bucket at the bottom side of the carriage (the original bucket that comes with the set is beside Miss Ivory Rabbit). Looks like our pony has discovered where its treats are stored in the caravan. The ladder, when not used, can be stored away neatly underneath the caravan: Once you are inside the caravan, you can do a number of things: eat, sleep, wash up, and store your valuables. The little table lifts up and becomes a vanity, complete with mirror. So delightful! Hope you enjoyed the review. It was a little more detailed than usual, because I had so much fun playing with this set.

About MeI like to experiment with photography and dabble in crafty things. I started collecting Sylvanian Families in 2009 and hope that someday my little daughter will enjoy playing and collecting Sylvanian Families as much as I do. Archives
