Fashion Show Camera
Listed as coming with extra accessories (tiara and microphone), some accessories not listed ('3 necklaces' could mean any three of the following: scarf, bow tie, beaded necklace, silver necklace). Listed as coming with 'lights', could be a typo or could mean the set came with more than one? In the contents list Boris Fryer is called 'Boris Bailey'. This name change doesn't appear anywhere else so may be a typo of a possible family name change for the Fryers'.
Boris Fryer the fashion photographer converted this old camera into the hottest fashion show in Gardenville. Fashion models Claudia Purbright and Emma Hoppit shimmy up and down the magical moving runway wearing the latest Itsy Bitsy styles. There's always room at the Fashion Show for all the Itsy Bitsy Families to sit and enjoy the hottest fashions.

Before long, Ma and Pa Waddle were busy sewing clothes and designing the latest fashions for everyone in Gardenville.
Windmill Bakery
The Storer family used to live next door to the secret garden, but they had to leave when the trees they lived and played in were cut down to build a shopping center. They found an old electric fan in the garden , and turned it into a windmill where they opened up a bakery and cake shop. All the Itsy Bitsy Families buy delicious cookies, cakes and desserts from the Windmill Bakery.
Wobbly Old School Bus
Listed as coming with 'saddle bags' which could refer to the satchel, bucket and water flagon (these accessories do appear in the IBF photo)
Now there were so many Itsy Bitsy children in Gardenville, everyone decided it was time they had their own school bus to take the children to the Rocking Horse Nursery and the Gardenville Schoolhouse. They converted an old water barrel they found in the shed, put some wheels on it (which are a bit wobbly!), and now every day, Major the Pony gives the Itsy Bitsy children the ride of their lives.
