super,ultimate,mega Zelf review:)

hi today it is time for my way over due zelf review .I have been slowly gathering Zelfs over the past couple of months adding them to the pile and saying "I will review these when I have the time " and after moving into my craft room, selling my handmade products at craft fairs and custom doll/pony work I finally have time. And it's about time too as I now have SEVEN zelfs to review in one post ( yes I probably could have split this into multiple posts but that would lead to further procrastination and saying " I will review when I have the time " :} ) to keep this post short I will not go into quite as much detail as usual, without further a do lets get reviewing :)

 here they all are in box(apart from zelicious flitter) for our review i will start with the mediums 

 here is flare, the phoenix zelf and cindy-moo,the cow girl zelf. they each come with a comb,hair clip and collectors leaflet. i love flare's bright bold colouring they compliment each other so well :)

cindy-moo is totally cute too :) i do wish her hat was a little larger though.

next is the zelicous zelfs:

 first is cheeky tiki the Hawaiian tiki zelf. he smells like vanilla :)  

 he comes with a bongo drum and seat made from a leaf its adorable  ;)

 now we have flitter the dragonfly zelf !

 i love the bright colours on flitter. the pineapple scent is really authentic;it smells just like the real fruit :)

 here is the drink stand that is included in the set, i think i looks like a DJ booth but oh well  ;}

 i will now review the three large zelfs i have each one comes with a brush,two hair clips and a collectors leaflet.

first up is the adorable baabara the sheep zelf. 

i love her droopy ears and pink accents. she has some cool gold strands in her hair :) 

next up is Sheldon the Neptune zelf. I find this interesting as a Neptune is not a thing but a Greek god this is not necessarily a bad thing just interesting. 

 here he is i love his crown and fins :)

 here is a shot of his super cool glittery tail :)

finally its snowflake the snow bunny zelf !

 i love the beautiful soft air bushed colours and super detailed snowflakes.

 snowflake is the first zelf not to be barefoot she has fluffy boots :)

that wraps up this massive zelf review :) here is a group shoot of these adorable characters to close out :)

Arwen,the makie, in Stratford upon Avon

recently I went on a day trip to Shakespeare's birth town Stratford upon Avon, accompanying me was one of my "bestest " buddies,who for safety reasons will be know as BFF, and my ever faithful makie girl Arwen!

first BFF and I looked around the shops,I must say Stratford is a lovely place it's so clean and has some beautiful medieval architecture.

me and BFF cracked up when we saw these books- if Shakespeare had wrote star wars ;)

Our favourite was " the Jedi doth return " just look at that Tudor style jabba the hut !

Next we discovered an amazing collectors bear shop we spent ages looking around, the shop is called Curtis brae, they also have an online store too over here  !

There was a GIANT teddy bear out side the shop it was taller than me ! :) 

I really loved this vintage style rabbit by steiff so adorable :)

Here are some more gorgeous steiff Bears

i find this little bear so playful and endearing 

Not too familiar with this brand of bears but I really loved this bear he looks so sad you just want to take him home <3

if anyone is in Stratford upon Avon i would highly recommend checking out Curtis brae their shop is absolutely amazing ! i did make a purchase from curtis brae which i will show you at the end of the post :)

we also saw this really fun pop culture shop near curtis brae, unfortunately i cannot remember its name :}

it had some really cool funko pop figures, which i was very tempted by and some awesome D.C and marvel comics merchandise! :)

next BFF and I visited a beautiful park just outside the royal Shakespeare theater, it was gorgeous there were some buskers playing folk music which really set the mood :)   

here is Arwen by some beautiful flowers just outside the theater, they bring out her coloring so well :)

 here she is by the canal with some nosy geese behind her, i was worried they would jump out of the water and knock her over XD

you could rent a row boat to use on the canal, however me and BFF didn't  because we didn't have enough time and probably would have ended up stuck right in the middle of the canal just helplessly floating ;)

 we took a rest by a tree the weather was lovely and sunny which was a bonus! 

 a trip to Stratford upon Avon wouldn't be complete with out a trip to the royal Shakespeare theater. we saw a staging of  Othello by the royal Shakespeare company , which was awesome and interesting, i would highly recommend it :)   

 in the interval we discovered an art exhibition, it was hundreds of paper boats made of foreign money,stamps and other travel items :)

here we are back home with a Hansa plush hamster i bought from curtis brae. he is so realistic and is appropriately named Othello to remind me of my trip.  

BFF and i had an amazing time in Stratford upon avon  and would love to return sometime soon :)
