Last Nov. 28, we (me and my mom) attended the Sylvanian Families party. I was only informed by my boyfriend about this event and he didn't know what time it will start. So to be sure, we were there at around 10:45 in the morning and the mall is still closed.. Yeah that's how excited we were. Luckily, I do not have work on Saturdays (thank God!) and my mom sneaked out our shop just to attend this event.
I was shy at the idea of attending this party because I'm old enough already not to play with Sylvanian Families but we really really love it. I should bring along my favorite niece next time! We were delighted to the sight of the dioramas with new Sylvanian items in it! We purchased the "SF passport" importantly to avail the 10% discount and some free snacks. We were there for about 2 hours.. WOW we really did a lot of inspecting, calculating and thinking if we should buy the items or not... hehehe We were budgeting for the items because it's kinda expensive. Anyway, these are my latest Sylvanian exclusive purchase!
I regret that we were not able to attend the "actual" party because around lunch time there are no people at the party area - its just me and my mom. Yes, we were expecting that it would soon start but it didn't. The sales clerk there did not even properly informed us that the show will start at 1:30 in the afternoon and by availing the passport and registering early we will get some freebies etc... *sigh* We were really hungry by that time and so we went to other places. Well, there would always be a next time. And when that time comes we will know now what to do! =)
If you had stayed longer, we would have met! Still, you got some lovely items at a discount, which is something they rarely do for SF in the country. :-)

I think this message is for atchie Kittymama! =)
I think she has these sets. Really great!
@harriet
ReplyDeleteRight now I agree with Kittymama. You can buy the donut stand at ebay. But who knows, maybe next month we have them at our local toy shops. =)
Do you have online blog? I would love to see your collection.
@harriet
ReplyDeletetry Blogspot for posting your stuffs. I'm also a newbie with this blogging thing. =)
@Kit
ReplyDeleteYes, Atchie Kittymama mentioned about you when we met. Too bad I went home early during the event.. Hope we could establish a SF Club here.
A party to get collectors together is a great idea. Do you know if anything similar happens in the UK?
