Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Unannounced Arrival

Remember this post? Well without a word from Fairyland, my full set Toki arrived along with his sleeping plate with face-up.

Although I loved Toki as he was, I really needed someone to become Linaria, so with a quick change of lower body and the addition of a few items that had been waiting especially for her, here she is!



Li (Linaria) ~ Charming, delicate and graceful best describe this one. Although she is quite tall, Li looks a little fragile, but don't be misled, she comes from hardy stock. Li spends a lot of time in the sunshine and enjoys wearing bright, strong colours, her favourite colour being pink!

Li is also the senior fairy and as such, makes all the decisions regarding the other two, (Wi and Pi).

      Thanks Lise! I love her smile and I'm so glad I ordered Toki to be my Li, she is so well suited to my other two fairies.

      Thank you Giac, Both the Fairyland default face plates are exceptional, I couldn't have asked for better from any artist.

    Hi Sandi!

    Congrats on the surprise arrival! As I thought, the mold suits as a girl perfectly. She's lovely and that flowers crown is very nice.

    Greetings ^^

      Hi Lily!
      Thank you. I thought Toki would, but she turned out much better as a girl than I initially thought.

    I had been wondering what had happened with your Fairyland order. That took a while didn't it? But wow, what an adorable cutie. Such a loveable face. You make me want a realpuki of my own. I used to have one but didn't feel the size worked for me but lately, little things seem to be so appealing to me!! Congratulations on the arrival! Li certainly does look the part of the older of the fairies. And those wings are incredible!

      Toki arrived much quicker than expected Alasse, especially for a full set with two face ups, But perhaps it only seems that way, because I have so much going on that the time flew by. She is actually a RealFee not a RealPuki, so at 19cm she's a lovely size to handle and dress. Had those wings a long time just waiting for the right doll, so long ago now I can't remember where I bought them, but they are awesome.

      Thank you Musume. Yes, extremely so, considering this face was supposed to be a boy. I'm glad I did prepare for her arrival, it's not something I manage to do very often. :)
