At last, Sweet Berry Valley has a postman. Mayor Cameron Moss knew it was of vital importance to improve the mail issue in the village and he advertised a job in "Sylvanian Times"looking for a full time postman. Several candidates turned up for the position but after the Mayor interviewed them all, Pete Petite was considered the best suited for the job. So, from now on, Pete Petite will be the official postman of Sweet Berry Valley. Welcome Mr. Postman!
I used the welsh dresser I bought a few weeks ago to place and organize the parcels and the letters.
I also bought this little green piece of furniture from the same seller and here is where parcels are weighed.
This is the counter. I customized a playmobil counter to match the decoration of the post office.
A selection of postcards and writing paper is also available for sale.
A poster and a noticeboard are placed on one of the walls.
And of course, a picture of the Map of Sylvania decorates the other wall. Postman Pete had to pass a hard test on Sylvanian Geography to become a postman. He got top marks!

| Sylvanako, you did a great job with this map! I still have to look for a spot to place my village. |
Here he is ready to face a busy day.Good luck Pete!

I was really dissapointed when I tried to buy the postman set from SSK and it wasn´t on sale anymore. I even got in contact with the shop by mail and I was told the set was discontinued. Luckily, I found it on e-bay a few months ago but I didn´t want to introduce Postman Pete until I had a post office. As it wasn´t easy to find one at a reasonable price, mainly due to postage, I made this one and I think it is well equipped to attend the needs of the villagers. By the way, they are all delighted to have a postman and a post office!
I mean to write a post called "A day in the life of Postman Pete". I´ll do it for sure so that you can get to know a little bit more about him.
Hope you enjoyed today´s post. Thank you for visiting! You´re always welcome!
Lots of love!
This is fabulous cutata!!!!! Why buy a post office when you can make such a lovely one. I especially love the finishing touch of the map of Sylvania on the wall! :) It looks just like a wonderful post office should. every last fine detail.
ResponderEliminarThank you very much for your lovely comment!I was looking for a poster to decorate the wall and I thought the map of Sylvanian was a good one.
EliminarThis is lovely!!
ResponderEliminarWow, it's hard to believe it's not a official post office (I think it has more room & a better lay out than the official ones!)
Thank you very much Chill!! I don´t know the measures of the official building but in mine there´s place for everything.
EliminarAwesome post office! I love the little details you added :)
ResponderEliminarWelcome to my blog and thank you very much for your comment! I love little details, that´s why I like miniatures and sylvanian stuff so much.
EliminarThanks to your visit to my blog! Please feel free to comment old posts too :) (nothing to do with inspirating me to update it...)
EliminarYou've done a fantastic job! Your post office turned out great! I love the decoration and the wallpaper. The furniture you chose fits perfectly! :) Welcome to Mr. Petite!
ResponderEliminarI know exactly how you feel about the postal buildings... I'm always looking on ebay for those too, but never found any of them for a reasonable prize.
Thank you very much for your comment, Kyraja! The funny thing is that I started this project without a clear idea in mind but I´m glad with the final result. Considering how expensive is to get a second hand one I´m happy with this one. Your pub turned up fantastic. I´m sure you could do a great job with a diy post offfice too.
EliminarIt's a perfect post office! So colourful and detailed! Whenever you find your spot on the map just give me a shout!
ResponderEliminarThank you vey much sylvanako!! and many thanks for the lovely map of Sylvanian.
EliminarI definetely have to look for a place for my village before is all taken. Sylvania keeps growing!that´s a good sign.
I am looking forward to your next post! Your post office does look amazing, I love the little map of sylvania, is it the map that I saw on the Sylvanian Families Fourm?

Thank you very much Emily! Yes! that´s the map, isn´t it cute? I´m looking forward to taking more pictures of Postman Pete to prepare a post about him but I have a story nearly finished about another family so I might post that one instead.
ResponderEliminarThis is sooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!! You've inspired me to make my own post office too!!
ResponderEliminarThank you very much for your comment Sophie! I´m glad to hear my post office inspired you to make your own. I´m sure you´ll do a great job!
