I'm a work from home mom to two furbabies, a curious black cat named Meeshka, and a goofy siberian husky named Dexter. I own a business and work with big companies as my clients all from my home office. In my spare time I collect sylvanians and build diaromas and other miniatures for them to enjoy!

 

I haven't been collecting Sylvanian Families as long as some collectors out there. I actually did not discover this incredible little world of furry characters and old time charm until around late summer of 2016. I first saw a small collection of them at Jo-Ann's Fabric, and my curiosity was struck. I didn't know such a detailed toy line existed! Sometime after I looked them up on amazon and discovered there were so many different playsets. A school, a grocery store, wow! So many cute things! That same day I ended up going to my local Toys R Us to see if they carried what is called Calico Critters in the USA. Sure enough they did, and I think I ended up spending well over a thousand dollars on almost the entire collection in a matter of days. I recall setting everything up in my small office on a tiny green diaroma mat I had picked up at Hobby Lobby. From there the addiction began! Clearly Meeshka fell in love with the town! Lol!
