It is very beautiful. 

It made me look for one of those at the store and then I saw the price tag ... $150 for just the building with no accessories or figures or anything.  Here, they are known as 'Calico Critters' for some reason, instead of Sylvanian Families, but I have gotten some of their stuff at Winners (discount outlet that when they have it sells it for about half the price) and it works perfectly with Playmobil.  Just wish it was cheaper as that would be perfect for my daughters and all the Fairy theme I got for them.

Yes, I've been thinking about getting some of their houses to use with playmobil. I had calico critters when I was a kid and I loved them. I'm happy to see they're making a comeback. By the way, I think calico critters is made by sylvanian families. It's a division of it, I guess.

Wow, this is magical, Emma.  So many charming details, like the table made out of tree parts.

Emma, I adore this custom / set up. Thanks for sharing :)
I think the working lights piece was a very original idea

I'd seen some other Sylvanian sets before and I have to admit I've felt attracted to it  :-[ :shhhh:
I didn't know this set though - in the picture of the link Daniela posted I can't see the big sunflower or the big mushrooms...are they from a Sylvanian set as well?

The fairies only really have garden sets in Playmobil, I know there's a small palace gazebo? Not sure what you'd call it but I always thought it seemed odd having fairies that are small enough to wear flowers for hats in the same building as "normal" sized people. I hope you understand what I mean there?

I absolutely know what you mean here - I've thought the same thing as well because I'm a fan of this theme. However, given the presence of unicorns I think the fairies are not suppossed to be small, but maybe all the opossite: the flowers, etc are jumbo size :lol:

Maybe unicorns are very tiny, and that's why you've never seen one!  :lol:

They’re about Ø2 inches (5Ø.8mm) tall.;)
If I’m jealous, you did SOMETHING right. Keep it up. :D

I was mistaken.  I was at that store a couple days ago and checked out the price (they had a 20 percent off sale) and the regular price is not $150, but $239!!!  :o
