Happy Holidays 2018 - A Yule Market

Happy Holidays!  Here's my MLP / SSC Yule Card to you all.

It's the Holiday season and the Yule Market is in full swing.  There are all manner of lovely baked goods, preserves, and other wonderful gifts.  Strawberry Shortcake has been busy preparing for this for quite awhile and Morning Glory and Cool Breeze are going to take advantage.

For the florally inclined, there are many plants, topiaries, and arrangements.  Amorzinho Perefito is an enthusiastic seller, while Cravinho prefers to let the plants speak for themselves.

If you're looking for something pretty to wear to a party, there are all kinds of ribbons, hair accessories, and jewelry on offer at Peachy Pretty Parlour's stall.

And of course, there's the toy stall, with many lovely things on offer.  Lickety-Split is doing some quick Yule shopping while the triplets are busy admiring the tree.

Over in the other food stall, Cupcake is supposed to be helping Pretzel run the booth.  However, she keeps getting distracted by her favourite display.  It doesn't seem likely that Pretzel will have to take any cupcakes home at the end of the day.

Peach Blush is trying to pick out some fruit for her holiday baking, but Plum Pudding isn't being much help - she's just spotted the candy display!  Some of her friends are already picking out what they want.

Of course there are sleigh rides through the market, for anyone who wants to take part.  Tornado is having as much fun as the babies enjoying the ride.

After all the shopping, it's time for a snack.  There's the popcorn cart for a tasty mouse-sized snack and the tea table serving hot chocolate and tea to warm up some chilly unicorns.

And of course, here's a look at the whole package.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from the Great Rebellion

Roomy has taken over the blog this week to show off her vintage She-Ra Holiday display. Tune in tomorrow for the MLP / SSC display post.

Adora: Oh no, I'll decorate for my own birthday. Even though I'm the best dressed. No biggie. It's fine.

Spinnerella Face-Off

"No, Kowl, I tell you, my heart throbs for Adora, not for you.  Well..."

"My wings are shiny. Shinier than your tail. Plus, I don't get freaky visions. And I'm from outer space. HA! So, I should get the last slice of cake."

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Glimmer. Chest. Nuts. Stop looking at Bow."

"I know you can have legs. Get off the bed and help with the dishes, you lazy arse." 

"It's not that nobody appreciates your work, Frosta. It's just that they didn't make a winter fashion style line, so we're all sorta cold." 

"Wait. Is that Adora down there?" 

Spread out rocks and flower bushes make for a complete diorama. <3 from="" great="" happy="" holidays="" p="" questionably="" rebellion="" the="">

We're doomed

Last week I committed Kijiji.

I...um...yes...

It's huge.  It's just enormous.  It's half the size of my 6-seater dining table.  We had to turn it sideways to get through the Geek Cave door.  I honestly don't know where I'm going to keep it.

And it's beautiful.  It's detailed.  It's well designed.  It's interesting to look at from all angles.  It's got a dollhouse inside the dollhouse!  It's going to be a gorgeous display space.  It makes me want to lie on the floor and play with my Shortcakes like I was 7 years old again.

These are some of the great moments as a collector - the moments when you find something local, that you never thought you'd have, and suddenly it's yours.  And you can't wait to share it with your collector friends.

But where on earth am I going to put it?
