Welcoming a new family and some wonderful surprises

Dear Readers,

this Wednesday the door bell rung and I went downstairs, looking who that might be. As I went out through the door in the first floor (I live in the 6th floor by the way)  there was...nothing. Nothing but a little sign: "You weren't there, please fetch your parcel there and there".  
I couldn't believe why the postman couldn't have waited just a minute longer. I mean they know where I live and they know that it needs a bit time from the 6th to the first floor. So angry me walked on the street. Suddenly I saw the transporter of the postman and - yep, that's the funny part - run after him, waving with that silly little note.
Luckily he stopped and I got my parcel. But - and that's the unbelievable part - that postman really tried to tell me I should be faster! O.o
I even took the ascensor to be faster! How long did he waited - 15 seconds? Grrrrrr!!!

But when I saw from who the parcel was, all my anger was forgotten! The parcel was from lovely Aranera!

And when I opened it, I was all over the moon! So many wonderful things waited for me. 

We agreed in this trade a while ago and I knew that I was getting the Bamboo panda family and some fantastic handmade things.
What I didn't know was that Aranera got me some gorgeous surprises.

First she also bought me another panda, Mr. Albus Bamboo, who will the Bamboos grandfather. So I proudly present the newest members of Marigold Creek:

You see Alexandra was very happy to be reunited with her youngest, who was waiting desperatly for her to arrive.

I was a bit surprised, how big the pandas were. Compared to a Petite bear they seem to be huge! :D But I really like them, they have soft and pretty faces.

The next surprise was another new villager: a little Fisher cat babie!

Milicent and Mallory were glad she arrived safely. Aren't the babies just the cutest in the Sylvanian world?

To my big surprise Aranera gave me the lovely Village Sweet Stall and the Welsh Dresser set.
I love the details in both sets.

The dresser has a beautiful design, the little teapot is too cute! Also I like the "glass" doors in the top.

The sweet stall has lots of goodies in it. Cookies and waffers...

...lollies and all kinds of bonbons and chocolate.

The sweets can be hold by a figure, like grandpa Albus shows us. Albus, by the way, will also own the little sweets cart.

I also got some fantastic handmade scarves, gloves and hats.
Luna, Anton, Bruno and Molly were happy to show them to you.

Here's also a view of the back of Mollies hat - I think it's really fancy! What do you think?

Thank you so much for another absolutely wonderful trade, Aranera! I'm always looking forward to our trades - they make so much fun! :) :*

I hope you enjoyed this little tour - the new bios will be uploaded in the next days.

Have a nice weekend,
yours Kyra
