I've been tempted to go out and buy a bunch of these guys, if I didn't already collect too much stuff.

Also... in Tokyo I came upon life size sylvanians! Alas I can’t share pictures. But if it was a chilly day they were dressed accordingly!

This was a joy! I’m currently, at 38, using those Halloween Sylvanians (down the bottom of your post) in a haphazard seasonal display 😅 the ghost kid glows in the dark! 🥰😍

Ahhh Sylvanian families so many happy memories. We’re currently sorting our loft and I am awaiting with eager anticipation stumbling across our childhood collection! We had/have the bakery those teeny baked goods always looked so delicious!

Thank you for this! It’s made me so very happy to learn there is a Sylvanian mouse called Barry!

They are exquisite so sweet If we can’t see their sweetness straight away it’s due to the hard raw environment this earth is being plunged into Thanks for sharing Let thé Sylvania bears take over I say

this was quite lovely to read right now, thank you. I personally think we need to see the Sylvanian Families turn gremlins movie asap

My daughter is now 16 but when they were little, *I* was obsessed with Calico Critters "for her." No shame in admitting it! They were so damn cute, it made my teeth hurt!

Around here in Argentina i've seen an ad that is similar in aesthetic to the Sylvian families, it's called bunny boutique and the rabbits are just like these (Makes me wonder if it would be a reproduction of these). I think they're made by Hasbro if my memory doesn't fail me.

Also, lovely posts!

So glad you have already seen the TikToks. I kept all my Sylvanians and now my daughter plays with them, which is the perfect excuse for me to keep buying them. Loved reading this Julia. ❤
