Sylvanian Baby Nursery

:: My Baby Room::

I made this baby nursery room out of the Sylvanian Market Shop.

Sylvanian Baby Nursery is run by Mother Shirley Squirrel and Mother Hello Kitty. This place is for busy mummies of Sylvania Land to place their precious babies under the safe and loving care of the 2 capable Mothers whilst they are at work. Sylvanian babies like to gather at Baby Nursery as they have many little playmates to play with. (^v^)

Mother Shirley Squirrel went to fetch the Beagle babies from Mummy Betty Beagle. They love riding in their pram to the Sylvanian Baby Nursery to play with their friends.

Mother Hello Kitty watches on fondly at the children as they play.

The Mice babies love crawling around in the cot for their own amusement.

Mummy Catherine Cottontail Bunny carries in her baby, saying, "Please, Mother Shirley Squirrel and Mother Hello Kitty, can you help me look after my babies whilst I go marketing for my family at the Sylvanian Market. It's Market Day today."

No Problem at all! The Mothers are always ready to help=)

Baby Bunny is already riding happily on his favourite toy in the nursery--the rocking-horse.

Little Bunny Twin watches on from her pink baby pram at the scenes going on in the nursery curiously.

Baby Kitten sleeps with her favourite bunny toy in the nursery.

The children take turns pushing the trolley toy. Mother Hello Kitty has taught them how to share their toys with one another. =)

Baby Squirrel and Baby Bunny likes the toy piano and toy train.

Mother Hello Kitty (this toy was given my own mother on my 12th birthday!=))

The Baby Necessities Corner

The Babies' clothes and towels has to be kept clean and fresh and neat in the chest-of-drawers.

The Baby Nappy Changing Corner (Idea gotten from the Nappy-changing area in the Ladies' Washroom for mothers and their babies)

The Toys-and-Stories Corner.

It is always a busy day at Sylvanian Baby Nursery.

Teatime treat for the children.

Flower party! Let's Play!

Will post other pics another day!=)

*~History of my Sylvanian Journey~*

I decided to set up a blog showcasing my Sylvanian Families collection. I started collecting in 2006 where I bought the older versions of the Sylvanian Families toys from sellers who want to let go of them. To this day, i still much prefer the older versions cos i feel much more care is given to the making the details of the toys--they are so very intricate and exquisite. I also like some of the newer versions like the Patisserie shop.

I was v lucky to get some of the older sets, unopened and unplayed with, at low prices like 20-40 bucks from some sellers on the now-defunct Yahoo!SG Auctions for the shops and furniture sets, and less than 10dollars for the smaller toys. However i have to pay more for some of my older sets. I was also lucky that my family financed some of my toys--my sisters bought me the Patisserie shop, and my mum the Big Green House on the Hill. This is not a cheap hobby but i love every minute as it gives me the joy of reliving my childhood dream of owning a doll house and the animals and intricate furniture and shops make me v happy.

In the first entry, I will post up some pictures I took last year of my displays. I used to put them out in the open, as i did not have a display cupboard before this year, and so i have to clean up my toys regularly, as they get dusty v quickly. Fortunately, with the advice of Kiki and other collectors on her message board, i got some ideas from them on how to protect my collection. As soon as i can, i will purchase shelves to house my collection. I already have a beautiful display cupboard but the shelves are not large enough to house some of my larger toys such as the Green House on the Hill.

I neglected my collection for a period of time this year, when i started working. Recently I bought another load of older Sylvanian toys which I have been eyeing for a long time from this seller called Belle where the Sylvanian toys are her pre-loves. She had some sets i have been wanting for very long--such as the Village Kitchen, Village Bakery and Red Roof House with Attic--all in the Japan Epoch version, my fave version. I bought the Village Bakery in the US version from another seller prior to this, but i like it so much that i bought the Japan version from Belle as well. Anyway Sylvanian food toys are my faves. ('v*)v

Because of these buys, my Sylvanian craze is once again inspired and I am going to spend time decorating my sets. In the meantime, enjoy the pics! Apologies for some which are not so well-taken.
