My boxes

sylvanian families collectorsThis picture was taken when I move houses at the end of last year. I am so glad that I still have room to keep these boxes. To save space, I ususally fit the small boxes inside a bigger box. The boxes play a very important role in the collection experience. This is not a fairly big collection compare to many other collectors, still lots of room to grow.

Few weeks ago a friend of mine came to my home and saw my sylvanian families, his eyes revealed to me that he was thinking why would I spend so much money on these "toys"? I didn't say anything at that time because I knew the cost of all my Sylvanian Families were less than the value of the Gucci bag his wife bought. There was no need for me to defense myself. And, that's what keeps me going... hehehe

iceklicky, 你既Collection 好壯觀bor!聽講澳洲並冇太多SF賣, 有好多野出國 or 郵購費用一定貴好多, 感受到你真係好愛SF!! ^-^
我好明白你感受, 通常係人家眼中我地買玩具好浪費錢, 曾經有位朋友仲話我既收藏係買野送既唔值錢等....通常我都唔解釋, 買保值既野又點, 我未必咁開心, "子非魚,焉知魚之樂"! Right? 哈哈~(^^*)

hello!
I wanted to ask you....where do you get the sets like the trees/grass/roads from? does it come with the house or do you have to buy them separately? :)

btw, love your blog!

Hi Kanae,
Nice to meet you! The tree /grass/roads aren't included in the sylvanian families. I bought them separately from other craft shop. :)

Haha, my friend said something smiliar too, in my case, I told my friend they are not mice, they are cats. :-D

....lol.....

I like your attitude. I didn't understand it before but now I know how you feel since I have become an addict of some sort myself.

May your collection grows bigger and bigger!
