Panda Patch: A UK Sylvanian Families Fan Site

I had a good clear around in the garage today, which gave me some time to make a new photographing area. I also opened a few of my farm sets that I'd been meaning to for a while. They look lovely altogether. I still have the new farmer's cart to open, and I haven't set up the farm shop, either.

I hope you'll enjoy these photographs!

Your friend,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yes, I'm belated as always, but I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year celebrations. Zead and I spent it with his family in the super-windy-and-always-freezing Scarborough. His parent's friends Ron and Madeline also stopped by. A visit I was a little apprehensive about.

You see, Madeline is a sweet, Belgian lady. But a slightly demented one. The last time I saw her was a few years ago (also on New Years Eve) and we were sat eating dessert, when she marvelled at me: "Oh, look at the little girl, eating the ice-cream!"

Needless to say, I have been continually mocked by Zead's family for the hilarious comment, and I had been preparing myself mentally for more of Madeline's pearlers.

She did not disappoint.

Whilst at the dinner table, she asked: "Do you drink coffee?" I nodded. "With milk?" I nodded again. "Oh, you are quite normal!" The whole room burst into laughter.

Quite normal? Well I never! What a compliment!

The World would be a sad place without its share of Madelines.

What a busy little Panda I have been! My time over the last month or so has been spent trying to finish organising the Toy Room, and cataloguing / labelling / bagging all my Sylvanian Figures to make it easier to find specific figures for photo shoots. Not a small task, may I add! I still have to do the Tomy and Japanese figures... Waah!

I've also nearly sorted out the appropriate lighting in the Toy Room, which has made taking photographs a little easier. I recently made some Christmas purchases from the Dolls House Emporium, which made for a perfect excuse for some snapping time! Here a few shots I took of my Tomy Santa and Christmas Ivory Dogs.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Best wishes,

Panda

For my bestest, furthest away friend, who I love very much.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep up communications with you (stupid illness), so I hope a couple of pictures of us hanging out together will suffice!
