Pinocchio (part 2)

 -My little Pinocchio, if you want to become a real boy you have to go to school!
-Why?
-To learn lots of things and get smart!
-Then I will be a real boy?
-Yes my son. Here's an apple for your teacher... and of course don't forget your book! Ahh, let me take a good look at you! Now go straight to school with the other kids and when it is over, come right back!
-OK, goodbye Father, goodbye Figaro!

-Look Gideon, a wooden boy going to school...

Pinocchio (part 1)

 ... When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you…

Hello folks! I am Jiminy Cricket! Do you believe in wishes coming true? Well, let me tell you a story!

It was a beautiful starry night, long time ago. While wandering around I found myself in a little house of a wood-carver named Geppetto!...

... It was a magical little place full of toys, clocks, music boxes, all curved out of wood. And then something else caught my eye!... A puppet! Such a cute little fella!...

... But all of a sudden ... I heard someone coming!...

-Come on Figaro! He only needs just a little more painting and he's finished!

The Kiosk

 Meet Cherice Floral! Every morning she is at the square of the village park where she runs her small business.

Cherice runs a kiosk/newsstand. She keeps it well stocked with a great variety of merchandise like candy, chocolate, snacks, newspapers, magazines, souvenirs, books, cards, maps and other inexpensive consumables.

Soon the park is full of Sylvanians. They all walk through the little square and a lot of them are visiting the kiosk. Cherice is very kind and helpful with her customers and enjoys meeting all these different types of characters!

-Good morning Cherice!

-Good morning Mr Evergreen! Always on time for your daily newspaper!

-Haha, you know me! But I also like to walk through the park every morning before going to work, it's really refreshing! Especially on a good day like today!

-Yes it looks we're going to have a lovely day today! Enjoy it!

-Thank you Cherice, enjoy your day too!

Happy New Year!

Have a wonderful 2022!

Winter walk

 It's Christmas! The snow has covered the sylvanian village and the Husky family dressed in warm clothes are out for a winter walk. Everything looks so beautiful and peaceful!

The Husky kids are admiring the view from the bridge.

-Look the slopes are full of snow!

-Yes perfect for sledding!

The creek is frozen and the triplets are enjoying the ride!

Woo hoo! So much fun!

The surprise

 -Hi Rebecca, that's nice! Can we play together?
-I am very busy at the moment Hannah, why don't you watch some cartoon on TV..!

-Will you play with me mum?

-Sorry honey, I have to finish this, maybe you can play with your toys for a while!

-Hi dad! What are you doing?

-I am cutting this plywood with the saw!

-Can I help you?

-I am afraid this is not a task for you little one!
