The Blue Faerie Bestows a Wedding Gift on Princess Bluebell

            The Blue welcomes beautiful Princess Bluebell to her castle by the shimmering blue sea.  Princess Bluebell is to marry the Prince of the Peacocks, and as a wedding gift for the couple, the Blue Faerie is bestowing some Water of Happiness from her pale blue pitcher.  As she pours it into Princess Bluebells’ dark blue pitcher, she tells Princess Bluebell that she and her husband-to-be must drink it on their wedding night.  It will give them sweet dreams for the rest of their lives and allow them to live happily ever after.
 
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 11th of May is “Blue for You – ME 2024” which is in honour of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day which happens to fall on May 12th.  May the 12th was chosen as it coincided with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the celebrated English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale became chronically ill in her mid-thirties after returning from the Crimean War; the M.E.-like illness often left her bedridden during the last 50 years of her life.

As the subject for “Smile on Saturday” this week was open to personal choice but required a lot of blue, I thought I would stick with tradition and submit a Playmobil tableau as I have for the theme since the year 2020.  One of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil is their vibrant colour.  I hope you like my choice of subject for the theme, and that it makes you smile.

Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany.  Production began in 1974.  Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold.  The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face.  A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line.  Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets.  New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued.  Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
