Blondwave created Whistling River for Aira and Naida ~ complete with customized seats<br />
so they can sit and chat in their heart box!<br />

"Park on a Heart" is the name LegoMyMamma gave to her creation with a small<br />
scene to brighten a desk.<br />
<br />

"Pool Party" is sure to evoke a relaxation vibe when looking at Kristel's creation<br />
with Friends Andrea.<br />

Got a sweet tooth? Kristel's "Liquorice Lovers" heart box is the cure -- even if the<br />
satisfaction is only in visual brick form. You could certainly add real candies to this container.<br />
<br />

For the opposite end of the hue spectrum, Kristel created "Pastel Power" for that<br />
famous TLM2 character to practice disco moves!<br />

A Lavender Grand Piano Heart Box for Emma is dr_spock_888's version of hers, <br />
complete with a built-in keyboard!<br />

Adding to the Elves theme, yet on the evil side ... Kristel created a Bat Box for Noctura<br />
and her batty pets to sleep.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/legomymamma/47502813462/in/dateposted/" target="_blank"><img alt="Heart Skater" height="500" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/7892/47502813462_f88f04e931.jpg" width="493" /></a><br />
Skating on thin ice? Or will LegoMyMamma's heart box hold up Anna and a furry visitor to the "Frozen" pond?<br />
<br />

Did you guess who-hoo's heart box has a tree sprout up? Mia's, of course! LegoMyMamma's creation features a hinged lid.<br />

<b>Lunar New Year celebration at Emma's House!</b>
<br />
Friends visit Emma's House to learn about the Lunar New Year
traditions of the Wishing Tree, and to see Emma's art poster of the
"Year of the Pig" for 2019! Wishes are written on a ribbon type of
paper, usually red or pink, and then hung in a tree by attaching string
to a kumquat (small orange type fruit) and tossing it up into the
branches.
<br />
~ Built by LegoMyMamma for the "Spirit of Chinese New Year 2019" events for The LEGO Group. The brief was to show it in a Friends setting :-)<br />

Such a fun and inspirational creation! Be sure to <b><i>click through</i></b> via these photographs and read more descriptions by the creator; plus see lots more images in its <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kanemoto/sets/72157700693458565" target="_blank">flickr set</a>.<br />

Olivia and Emily, and other mini-dolls of Heartlake City and Elvendale, surely are friendly collaborators, even if the portal to Elvendale may be closed soon ...<br />

The Friends already renovated the old fire station into their Clubhouse ... so why not re-invent it again into a Rocket House? It's called: <b>The Friendship-5</b><br />
<br />

Here is the way LEGO presented it on their Facebook page.<br />
The AFOL Engagement team of the LEGO Group asked a few members of FriendsBricks to re-create the Friendship House in ways to inspire kids.<br />

This adaptation called "Antiquing with Friends" was built by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hartlandbricks/albums" target="_blank">Barbara</a> for BrickWorld 2016 during The LEGO Group's "Best Friends" building contest.<br />
Some of the North American fan events that participated also gave attendees the suggestion to re-make an existing LEGO set of other themes into a "Friendsified" version.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This year's Snow Resort sub-theme are probably the closest of the Friends sets which look as if they <i>could</i> be near a Market Village setting. Perhaps on the mountain-side of Heartlake City.</div><br />

Friends sets are so completely detailed from the start, that sometimes all that's needed is a "tweak" or MOD (modification) to the original in order to make a new creation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/86394332@N03/30096038865/" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.flickr.com/photos/86394332@N03/30096038865/" border="0" height="287" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5D0joQEOFh8/WHDaCQHdenI/AAAAAAAAFUQ/qpO9QZbav6cxq2kpORqH2RsYPzgfyJOXgCLcB/s400/Riding-School-mod-by-LegoOzp.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/86394332@N03/30096038865/" target="_blank">LegoOzp</a> has done a nice job of using two sets with modifications to become one creation. It's a creation, yet still identifiable of the original sets -- Summer Riding Camp (#3185 from the Summer of 2012) and Sunshine Ranch (#41039 from January 2014). Built together within the landscape and activity of the base created to hold the structures, it gives us a glimpse of life in Heartlake City.<br />
Another set, Emma's Horse Trailer (#3186, also from Summer 2012) fits in just right.<br />
<br />
The creek along side the ranch and under the bridge really adds to the dimensions of this setting! Be inspired and enjoy many more angled views and close-ups in the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/86394332@N03/albums/72157673459445312" target="_blank">Flickr</a> set.<br />

The classic winter snow-covered tree in a woodland setting surrounded by animals she built as bookends is a wonderful use for a peaceful scene.<br />
