Oh WOW!!! I bought the Sylvanian Families country market this week. I have wanted this set ever since I saw it it the catolouge in 2013, now, seeing Kyrajas one, it brought back those feelings and since Toyworld had 20% off sylvanian families, I decided to buy it for $80 instead of the regular $100. So, here it is!
So here it is when I opened the box, stickers, a box full of small, detailed things and the beautiful building itself.
The Cottontail family will run this store till their friends, the Beaman Ginger Cats join them (they own the store) So, lets have a look at it!
Ah, first of all before the decorating.
I am sorry that I did not take that many pictures due to my excitement. Here I am just starting to cut the walpaper which is very tricky to do because of the shelves. Now, I apologise to you Kyraja since I did NOT want to copy your design and choice of wallpaper. It was only this morning that I had another look at your country market and realised. I was going to do a yellowish wallpaper with white flowers but decided on the pink with white dots.
Here you can see it all finished and I added and/or replaced some of the things inside. I love this little book corner that Connie is showing you.
Peter will show you through the rest of the store.
“Here we have the girly section, we display a different dress every week and above we have a girly pink and purple cup and saucer set along with a glass swan. Our natural perfume will come soon and will soon be available to customers.”
“Now beside all of that girly girly stuff is the shelf for the babies. We have toys and a number book on one side and basic baby care items on the other.”
“The whole side wall here is covered in toys pretty much. One one of the shelves are combs, brushes and a glass bear while under it we have toy and doctor or parenting books and witth two baby related books and the range of baby things here, it makes babysitting a breeze.”
“On this little piece of furniture we have two baskets filled with goodies. On the top there are two books and a small childs rattle while on the bottom there is toothpaste, suncream and handcream.”
“Here is where we keep medicine and soaps etc.”
“In this little draw up the top there are letters that you can write and post”
“and at the bottom are prescription forms”
“Your shopping can be made a whole lot easier when you use our shopping trolley or basket”
“And for the little ones, there is a special seat for them to sit one which makes shopping fun!”
“There is even a pick up window if you are in a hurry or have dirty boots on”
“Beside the window, there is a poster which tells you about the medicines”
“Up here, there is plenty of room unless daddy buts up the table and chairs so that shoppers can enjoy some tea or coffee.
“Since the chairs can fold down, storage is not an issue”
“Tea anyone?”
Ahh, I just love my Country Market! Part three of Tabithas story will come next week, Henry- I will not say anymore but a few of you already can already guess what is going to happen.

Congrats on your Country Market!! It´s my favourite shop!! I remember the day I unboxed it. It was the first shop that I set up and I stayed up until 2am placing stickers carefully and admiring all the bits and pieces.
You did a great job with the wallpaper. It suits it very well and the Cottontails are the perfect owners. I wish them all the best in their new business.
Thank you! I will pass on that kind message. I could hardly stop myself to take pictures when opening the box and then probably set a record for the quickest time of getting changed out of a school uniform =) =)

Congratulations to your country market! It truly is a fantastic building. Hihi, don’t worry, that’s no problemat all. The pink dotted wallpaper is sooo pretty and it fits perfectly! It’s great that we have the same taste! 🙂
I am happy that you are fine with that. Have you found any wooden barrels on the internet yet?
Emily
I found some playmobil ones, but I didn’t buy them yet, because they were ridicioulusly expensive 🙁
Hopefully some cheap ones will come up soon!
Emily
Wonderful building- I love all of the little bits that are included in it.
I really love this building, one of my favourites! Do you have this building yourself? If not, I highly recommend it!
Emily
I don’t have this one. It’s very tempting but I am moving to a smaller house tomorrow and am already going to struggle for space- agh!
Congradulations on moving house! Maybe one day you will have the space, I am dreaming of a sylvanian room…
