Welcome May

Dear Readers,

The month of May brings us flowers and so does the picture of the SF calendar for this month.

I wonder who will receive the bunch of pink roses Coco is holding.
I have the feeling it has something to do with Mother´s Day.
I know Mother´s Day is not celebrated on the same day all over the world but many countries celebrate Mother´s Day in the month of May. In Spain, Mother´s Day is the first Sunday of May and in my Sylvanian world Mother´s Day is also in May. 

This picture also reminded me of the  new SF Blooming Flower Shop (now, only available from Japan)

To be honest with you, I much prefer the miniature flowers featured in the picture of the calendar to the plastic flowers of the new flower shop. 

I love the intricate detail of the buildings of the Town Series but the country style remains  my favourite, that´s why  I like the JP Country Flower Shop more than the new one.

I couldn´t find any stock photos so I hope my dear friend Sylvanako doesn´t mind me using one of his wonderful pictures to compare the two styles of flower shops. Both are nice but in different ways.

This one has a more classic florist shop look. I really like the ornate glass window and the big glass cabinet to store the buckets of flowers.The wodden rack filled with ribbons and wrapping paper is also lovely.

I also like the way it looks the flower shop featured in this video of the Town Series.

I´m refering to this image taken from the video "A Town of Dream".

As you can see this flower shop has no resemblance to the new JP release.

I think this one looks really nice.I wished the new flower shop would have look like a bit more like this one.

May, flowers, flowers shop...one thing led to another and I ended up writing a post comparing flower shops and telling you which one I like best.

I don´t own any SF official flower shop so I made my own one. You must have probably seen it already as I wrote a post about it on my blog but here is a picture in case you haven´t seen it before.

A big hug!
