FarmVille LE English Countryside Decorations: Tea Shop, Garden Bench, Tea Cup Ride & More

As part of tonight's FarmVille update, we've seen a whole set of new decorative items (two new buildings and seven new decorations, to be exact) in the English Countryside theme that can be placed on either your Home Farm or your English Countryside farm. Before we get into our detailed look at these items, remember, even though they can be placed on both of your farms, if you'd like to have them on both, you'll need to buy two, as you can't move them from one farm to another once placed.

That out of the way, you now have the option of purchasing two new buildings in the form of the English Restaurant and the Tea Shop. Both of these are Farm Cash-only items, with the Restaurant costing 15 Farm Cash and the Tea Shop being more expensive (and also slightly larger, in terms of size) at 25 Farm Cash.

The seven decorative items come mostly as those that are available to purchase for coins, rather than Farm Cash, so meet us behind the break to take a look at what's available. We'll start with the lone Farm Cash item, which is the Tea Cup Ride, costing 20 Farm Cash. Not to be mistaken for the Super Spin Ride that was released back in the Country Fair event way back in 2009, this item is an entirely new item to the game, although it does share the same basic design - that being an amusement park ride with spinning teacups that you'll find a Sheep, Chicken, and Duck riding in.

For the other six items, they range in price from 2,000 coins for the Spring Flowerbed to 150,000 coins for the Roses Garden. The Roses Garden may be an expensive item, but it's very detailed, covered with tons of flowers and vines, even if it doesn't take up very much space on your land. The other items are the Garden Bench, costing 7,000 coins, the Spring Flower Pot at 5,000 coins, a Tea Pot Topiary for 10,000 coins, and finally, a Tea Table costing 100,000 coins even.


Sure, some of these items might be expensive, but if you're going for a complete English Countryside theme, at least you have plenty of different items to choose from to make your own themed area perfect for you. These items will be available in the game for the next two weeks, so shop now while they're still available.

FarmVille Vineyard Buildings: Vineyard Restaurant and Vineyard Windmill

Two beautifully decorated buildings were added to FarmVille's Vineyard limited edition item theme this evening, but unfortunately, their loveliness comes at a high Farm Cash price (not that we're surprised). The Vineyard Restaurant [pictured] is designed after a wine barrel turned on its side, and is a fairly large building, all things considered. It costs 25 Farm Cash to add to your farm.

Meanwhile, a Vineyard Windmill costs 20 Farm Cash. This lovely yellow version has stones surrounding its base, and vines crawling up the side, so it's definitely more than a standard recoloring of previously released windmills.

Interestingly, these buildings are marked as being part of the Vineyard item theme, but they don't actually have an expiration date as of this writing. In fact, none of the game's limited edition buildings have expiration countdowns, but we'd attribute that to a bug in the system, rather than a declaration that they'll be permanent additions to the store (c'mon, we can't be that lucky). If everything turns out as expected, these buildings should disappear from the store in around two weeks, so you'd better shop fast if you want them at all.

Will you purchase either of these buildings for your farm(s)? Have you created a Vineyard in your English Countryside, or are you saving these items for decorating back home? Would you purchase these buildings if they were cheaper, or even available for a great deal of coins instead?
