I think this is a really traditional and cute Sylvanian family, and is currently one of my favourites!
I received the grandparents with the Woodland bus, however they were available to buy for a short period of time in the UK. They have also been found in the 2010 release of the new Mill, and with the green family car. The grandparents come with their usual glasses, however I am inept at being able to put these on, so they have stayed in their packaging.
I also found in the Farmer's Cart set that my free additional figures were the Periwinkle family, so perhaps they have over-produced this line?
The Periwinkles have been released in both the UK (2004) and Japan, and in Europe the Periwinkles were released with various playsets:
Children's Room with Margot & Otto * - came with brother
Papa Boris's Garden Set * - came with father
Bedroom with Flora & Baby Robby * - came with mother and sitting baby boy
Sasika and Baby Room * - came with standing baby girl
Happy Birthday Carla! - came with sister
Cream Rabbit & Bike set - came with brother (shirt is a different colour) *
[* ones that I own]
The grandparents were also released in Europe, however I am unsure of any difference they have to the UK release. I have also seen the European Baby Rudy and Slide Set (which has a sitting baby Whiskers Cat in it usually) with a sitting Periwinkle baby instead.

Periwinkle Biographies
Alex Periwinkle, the Sylvanian signwriter, has to be incredibly patient when he is working, because one mistake and he has to start all over again. His biggest job to date was preparing the signs and banners for the Brambles Department Store.
Kate Periwinkle helps her husband, Alex, with the design and use of colour in his work as well as looking after the family. She gets very annoyed with Alex because he is always forgetting to change into his old work clothes for work and comes home with different coloured paw prints all over his trousers. This causes lots and lots of washing and ironing, which Kate has little time for, being a busy lady!
Oliver Periwinkle is very good at tennis. When his grandfather, Mack, told him that one day he might become the Sylvanian Open Tennis Champion, he thought that he was joking and said: "You cannot be serious".
Rebecca Periwinkle is an all-round athlete, playing rounders and hockey for the school and tennis with her brother, whom she just loves to beat. She is always hopping from one game to another.
Hannah Periwinkle loves having walks in the park, where she watches her sister, Rebecca, being sporty. She is always saying to her mother, Kate: "Please let us go and watch Rebecca play".
Jamie Periwinkle loves sleeping more than anything else, even at meal times. His mother, Kate, is always having to tickle his paws to make him wake up and finish his meal.
