I too notice the new Belville sets. There were 6 sets in what appeared to be
2 different themes.
Theme 1: The Orient (3 sets)
5856 Princess with monkey
5857 Princess/Queen's room
5858 Oriental Palace
Theme 2: Garden Fairies (3 sets)
5859 Garden Fairy
5861 Fairy House
5862 Fairy Garden in Bloom
Note that the set names are vaguely descriptive - I have no idea what the
actual set names will be.
An interesting note on the Fairy sets: The Fairies are made from regular
Belville figs - no sign of the awful Millimy piece from a couple years back.
Set 5861 has the Belville rowboat in pink and a new snail piece (that looks
like it stands about as tall as a regular minifig).
Set 5862 has a new? raised baseplate and the new snail.

In addition to sand green, I also noticed what appeared to be the bird piece
in white and lt. blue (the same blue as the car in the new HP set).

I believe the hoop is an older piece that appeared in one of the Belville
beach theme sets. If I remember which one, I'll post the set number.

Yup, I too like these sets better than the Ice Castle theme.
