Aint I Just a Little Child!

Sometimes I'm just a little kid you know...

I have been watching a long time every few days

at the 'Sylvanian Families' again on the internet ... 

and last night I found that I've been longing enough so I spoiled myself

and adopted The Sylvanian Meerkat Family!

Aint they just too cute?

*Father Harry Spotter is the most alert and watchful creature in Sylvania –
and it’s a good job as he has to check there are no wildfires in the forest.
As this vital role demands his total concentration,

the other Sylvanians have learned not to take it personally 

if Harry ignores them completely!

*Mother Beatrix Spotter, on the other hand, is always warm and friendly. 

She loves children and is often babysitting as many as twenty at a time. 

She bakes them fairy cakes and reads them fairy stories – 

and she counts them every fifteen minutes to make sure they’re all still there!

*Brother Alfie Spotter always has his head in a book. 

He often gets so absorbed in one of his adventure stories 

that he regularly forgets what day it is 

and has been known to turn up for school on a Saturday!

*Sister Gail Spotter would much rather go for a long walk 

in the Sylvanian forest than read a book.

She particularly enjoys strolling along by the river 

and picking wild flowers for her mother. 

After all, that’s how she got her nickname!

I also bought a furniture set for them ...

I've read somewhere that they are on scale about 1:16 / 1:18.

There are many Sylvanian families and stuff for them to collect.

Here is the link to the official website in England

If you might wanna take a look:

"Sylvanian Families'

In America they can be found under the name "Calico Critters"

I really adore them and can't wait for them to arrive here...

And I would love to build a small house for them too...some day... ;)

As an animal lover I could hardly choose between all those cute families!

Besides my imagination about fairies... I got the feeling that these critters

are a great inspiration for me too.
