Old Town Centrum

Here you can see who lives in the older houses in the village, what work they do and how they came to live in Mystique Valley. You will also meet some of the founders of Mystique Valley, many who have lived here for generations

Bill Waddlington



You can often see Bill wandering through town babbling to himself. He is usually going over ideas he has and its possibilities, looking at empty spots while babbling to himself and looking at it from all angles. He often wanders to other towns and fairs, getting ideas for his growing village.

The Maces family is one of the original founder families and has been running the kitchen supplies store for years. It hasn't always been kitchen supplies but has developed through the years. Arvey is very straight forward and likes to tell it like it is, not all of the founders are admires of Bill but she tells everyone that without him coming and changing things around they would have had to give up the store and probably move to the city, they know she’s right but some find it hard to admit that they owe that duck that much. They live in a small apartment above their shop.

Mother Karoline

Sister Channel

Baby sister Maybelle

Mansion 1 was the first Sylvanian building we bought. It was for our oldest daughter as a Christmas gift in 1997. Amazingly through all the play for over a decade it has kept it's charm and most parts. The other one was bought used and missing everything, by that time the original was already been used as temporary apartments.

Karoline inherited both Mansions from her grandmother. One used to be owned by her grandmother's brother but before he could gamble it away her grandmother bought it from him. After a meeting with Bill she started to rent out floors in her Mansions and that solved her financial situation and housing problems for many. Too read the full story click here.

Baby Brother Neil

The Hamiltons visited Mistique Valley as tourists and fell in love with the place immediately. A few months later, Huckleberry and Hilda visited the village again. They had seen an empty old building and wanted to know if it was available. They met with Bill and Peter Pettyfuir, the village accountant, to talk about the options and to have a closer look at it, to see if it could be turned into a Pizzeria. Running a Pizzeria was nothing new to them but they were tired of the big city and wanted to get out of it and this looked like everything they dreamed of. It wasn’t long until you could hear Percy and Bob at work in the old bakery and a moving van came with the Hamiltons possessions. And now Huckleberry and Hilda Hamilton own the MV Pizzeria where they sell pizzas made from their secret family recipes.

Hilda has a brother Barry Hawton in Sugarbush Valley.

Truffle

 

Father Eustace

Mother Victoria

Baby boy Charlie

Baby girl Felicity

Baby girl Susan-Mary

Even still today our friend Bill wanders, but now to meet new critters or get ideas or putting his village on tourist maps but mostly to meet critters, he believes that for his village to grow and keep growing and be that tourist paradise where critters can go back in time and enjoy the relaxed time MV can give them, it has to have different type of critters and shops/businesses. In one of his tours he met Eustace at a coffee bar, he sat in one corner looking little down so they started talking, it didn't take Bill long to know why he was so down, his business wasn't going to well, so many big companies were taking over the market and he would be forced to sell soon if he had any hope of getting out of this before too late and he didn't know what to do then or how to tell Victoria! So Bill told him that there was no furniture shop in MV and so many new residents were moving to town that one was needed. He told Eustace all about MV and what future he saw there for Eustace and his family. Eustace invited him over for dinner as he said that Bill would be much better than him to get Victoria on board and he wanted to hear more to. That evening Bill convinced Victoria that the town needed someone to lead the women comity and make sure that money was raised for the poor orphans and so on. Not long after Bill returned home, this strange couple (to village critters) came in a rented car. Village critters often wonder and make jokes about who or even what will come to MV after Bill has been away:)

Buttercup Family
Sylvanian Buttercup Family
Daisy's Ice Cream

Buttercup

 

Father Hornbull

Mother Daisy

Brother Paddock

Sister Annabell

Baby brother Cheddar

Daisy Buttercup has had a dream since she was a little girl. She wanted to live in a friendly village and open an ice cream and smoothies shop, where she could talk to friendly neighbors and customers every day. Finally her dream came true, she and her family have moved to Mystique Valley. When Hornbull got an offer for his farm he didn't take long to make a decision, he would do anything for his dear Daisy. Rumour has it that he made up his mind so quickly because his two nieces were coming and he was afraid that they would demand to live on his farm. 

Daisy might have gone a little overboard with decorating her shop but she wanted it just as she dreamed about it as a girl. And today she stands proud in her shop while Hornbull makes the delicious icecream for his Daisy to sell. Their home might give the impression of Hill Billy style but keep in mind they have just moved from the countryside.
