I give this set a B. I've had it since I was a kid. It's cute and fun to play with, but the only piece that isn't easily found/crafted elsewhere is the mortar and pestle. For the price of retired items, it's a bit steep for a basket, some fake flowers, and a pocketbook otherwise.
The pocketbook is nicely embroidered and real leather, but it's a bit difficult to display. It's too big (by far) to fit in Lissie's pocket and the leather is stiff enough to make it pop open all the time (as in the photos). I like it, but I find it hard to display it in any charming manner.
The basket is not something I couldn't find elsewhere, but it is cute and the nice thing is you can also use it for gathering flowers (from Lissie's spring birthday set) and holly in the winter (when Lissie decorated their house for Christmastide in the books).
