Afternoon Tea With Mrs Renard and Mrs Dappledawn


Roxy Renard the fox stood at the front door of the Grand Mansion, home to the Dappledawn rabbits.


Mrs Dappledawn answered the door.
"Hello Mrs Renard! Do come in, awfully chilly wind outside today," Mrs Dappledawn welcomed Mrs Renard into her home. 
"Autumn has certainly set in," Mrs Renard laughed.
"I've just put the kettle on, tea or coffee Roxy?" Mrs Dappledawn asked her, as Mrs Renard settled herself at the parlour table.
"A tea would be charming thank you, I am here for afternoon tea after all!" Mrs Renard replied.


"I better get brewing the tea then," Mrs Dappledawn said, picking up the kettle off the stove.
"Mmmn...whatever you're cooking smells divine, Theodora!" Mrs Renard commented.
"Goodness me! You just reminded me! I need to take the pie out of the oven to cool," Rushing to the oven, Mrs Dappledawn put on an oven glove.


"It's a blackberry pie for Mr Dappledawn's pudding tonight," Explained Mrs Dappledawn, excitedly.
"I only wish I could stay for dinner!" Mrs Renard smiled.
"Ah, the tea's brewed! I can finally sit down, I haven't stopped all day.." Mrs Dappledawn sat at the parlour table opposite Mrs Renard.


The two ladies talked the afternoon away; gossiping, discussing recipes and beauty products, you couldn't have got a word in edgeways!
When Mrs Renard left, they both promised they wouldn't leave it as long next time before they catch up - but they both have very, very busy lives!

Much like me - I'm afraid Sylvanians have really had to just be on the back burner of my life lately :( I have done a little decorating of houses here and there (like the kitchen in the Grand Mansion in the story), but nothing really post-worthy. I always seem to show a greater interest in my Sylvanians around the Winter period so hopefully I will post again sometime soon.

  2. Don't worry about not posting so often. Sometimes there either no time or no creativity. I feel the same :). Also winter is much more cozy for Sylvanian things :). But I loved your new story, it was adorable and the kitchen looks great!
    Many greetings, Kyra

  4. I think you did wonderful with your kitchen decorations. It's no small feat, believe me! I have not touched my Sylvanian houses at all and they are sad to look at with their bare walls! Your scenes are too cute and I am becoming more interested in Roxy Renard! I never knew I would like a fox figure but your photos are so lovely. I wish you will have more time eventually to enjoy your hobby ^_^

    1. Aw thank you Jane! I really enjoy decorating, and it's not as scary as it seems at first - just focus on it room by room and be very patient :) I never used to like fox figure either, but Roxy just looks like she has so much personality that I couldn't help but fall in love with her =^_^=

    1. I had a look at your blog and left a comment - it's so sweet! I have around 130 figures because I mainly focus my collecting on buildings and furniture rather than figures :)

  11. How gorgeous! I have just read your whole blog over this week. And I have enjoyed every post. I am ten and aim to be an author. Some of the punctuation confuses me. I have the grand hotel, willow hall, we call it beechwood hall in Australia, caravan and the sheep, koala, squirrel, silk cat and hedgehog family. I love your collection. xxx Lottie
