Welcome spring!

Dear Readers,

The sixth theme for the Creativity/ Crafting Challenge in the Sylvanian Families Collectors Community is "Spring Festival" or any sort of spring-related project.

For this challenge I took several pictures of some spring scenes and I made three flower wreaths.

It´s spring! The cold winter days have gone and the weather is nice and warm in Sweet Berry Valley.

Grasses are greener, flowers are blooming and Rebecca Dingle , the village florist, is busy making handcrafted spring wreaths in her back garden.

Beth and Nelson Puddleford are just back from The Dingles´flower shop. Beth is delighted with the spring wreath she has just bought. Nelson was looking forward to getting home. Those flower pots were very heavy but they will add some colour to their front door.

Nelson offered to place the wreath on the door. 

Rebecca Dingle is right when she says to her clients:"Gracing your front door with a spring wreath Will give a warm, heartfelt welcome to your home".

After the dark winter days, the triplets are looking forward eagerly to play in the garden. They can´t wait to enjoy their new swing and sit down on the comfortable cushion their mum made for them. 
 

Playing in the garden is good fun for the kids. 

Beth and Nelson are also happy to relax in their front garden again.

Spring is the Puddleford´s favourite season.

Salome Persis loves spring too. The spring collection has just arrived at her clothes shop.It seems the floral print trend is still in full bloom this season.

She has just hang the spring wreath Barbara made for her.

Adrianne Hopkins and her daughter Rosa are going to have a look at the new spring dresses.

 Ralph and Saffron Walnut know how much Agatha Buckley loves flowers. The arrival of spring was the perfect occasion to show her their gratitude for being such a kind school headmistress and a good teacher.

"Dad made the basket and we picked up the flowers especially for you, Mrs. Buckley" Saffron said.

This scene was inspired by my own life.When I was a little girl my father used to make these baskets out of walnut shells.I filled them with faked moss and dried flowers and I gave them to my teachers as a little gift in spring.

My teachers loved these miniature baskets of flowers as much as Agatha loves hers.

Spring is also the perfect season for picnics.The Dappledawns are getting ready to enjoy their first picnic of the year.

There is nothing like a family picnic in a field of flowers. The Dappledawns love basking in the sun´s rays while enjoying nice food and all the beauty that nature has to offer at spring time.

Spring is here, that means Easter is coming soon. Frasier Chocolate is very busy at this time of the year making chocolate eggs. Teri is decorating the window of their new cake shop.

Pastel colours and Easter baskets filled with chocolate eggs are the perfect choice for the new season.

The Easter window display has easily grabbed children´s attention.The Easter bunny is coming! 

The Hunter-Smith family has recently moved to Sweet Berry Valley. They arrived  on  the very  first day of spring so they deserve to be on this post. Charles is in the park with the triplets and Camilla,Hector and Isabella went to buy some cakes. The Chocolates´ cake shop is already one of their favourite spots in the village.

Spring is also the perfect season for tea parties in the garden.

Lucy Fenton´s lovely garden is an ideal place to enjoy a tea party in the company of good friends.

Wishing all my Readers a happy and bright spring!
