The School Lunch Set

I haven't had time for much story writing lately. Live is just to busy, it will be my boy's birthday on 31 May so I have a party to plan and I can't concentrate on taking photos and writing stories when I know I have to make party favours etc!

Besides that my work room has been a mess, as my boy has found a new love for my Sylvanians and although he plays with them very carefully, he just knows how to turn things upside down. Also my table still has my unfinished Highfields farm on it, and stacked around it was all the boxes I received lately from trades, ebay winnings and purchases I made online.

So the past weekend was spend sorting out the mess, and now I, and I'm sure my Sylvanians too, can breath again.

As I didn't want to disappoint my readers I decided to do a quick review on the School Lunch Set.

I've wanted the set for a while now, but always found it a bit too expensive. It would be used as my Hamsters, which I renamed the Hawtons, work equipment, as they are the lunch staff at the local schools.

The boxed set.

Unboxed. Packaged in the familar style. I guess this is a good way of ensuring that all these small items reach its destination safely, but it was really hard to get them out/off that "racks". I broke a spoon in half and the soup bowls and soup itself was really hard to get out.

Finally everything out and in its place. Note that the two tables are included in the set too.

I really love that the little soup bits fits so perfectly in the soup bowls and the laddle. I think I must take my nail file and file away the rough edges. You can see the bits were it was stuck to the "rack" very clearly on the photo.

The crate for the milk bottles is really cute and I just love the spoons and the basket for it. It is so tiny! The bread rolls are cute too and looks "real", but Im not so sure what the other item with the red sauce(?) should be?

The lunch staff shows off their delicious food and the clothing that came with the set.

And just for fun a family picture!

Personally I feel that this set is a bit overpriced, in SA it sells for around 9 pounds, and I cant understand what makes it so expensive as it doesn't have anything special in it. Maybe it is the two furniture pieces that pushes up the price. SSK sells the set for 9.99 pounds. I was lucky and got it for 5 pounds as I bought it from an online SA store where I had a voucher, and I feel that that price is more reasonable.

Please let me know what you think of the set and its price.
