I had a lot of sylvanian family stuff as a kid. I was just looking at how much flasher all the new stuff is on trademe and I remembered something:
I made two single beds into a double bed for my parent squirrels. This may not seem like a big deal but think about it. I knew that the parents want to sleep together even if the toy company didn't want me to think about that!
In other rants, when I bought them you just got a bed. That was it. Now you get a bed with frilly covers and a matching pillow. I was lucky to have such a crafty mum to make me blankets and pillows for my little bare beds.
I wonder what mum thought when I asked her to make a long blanket that would fit over two beds pushed together.
Then I had more characters than I had furniture and everyone had to squish together under the long blanket and make do!
Now I'm reminding myself of the Barbie entry at the start of Girls are Weird. I'm stopping now.
