Fantastic review, Candy. I wanna check out Applewin, so I'll reserve this space for a bit.
OUTSIDE
Finally,
someone is kind enough to leave me coffee!! I love all the options you have to choose from when you wake up in the Plaza. Very nice choices to go with the winter theme, as well. The brick design around the Plaza and then around Re-Tail fits very nice with the theme too - moreso, I think, than the grass/pebblestone pathway. But that's just my opinion!
This town's hedges are top notch. I really like the bamboo around ReTail - I never noticed that it's about as tall as the building! It looks really good encased in your bushes (the corner shapes are really,
really nice) and adds a lot to that area. Another nice little detail was around your center bridge -- the gold roses, framed by the perfectly symmetrical bushes, look really good. Just south,
there's my favorite sand QR code again! Do you have that anywhere?? I'll probably PM you if I remember. Again really pleased with the bamboo against the building.
The north of your town has a little flowerbed with Jacob's Ladders, surrounded by red roses and then mushrooms on either side. Good use of mushrooms!
Your map is quite something - the twin fjords in the center of town, one where your Brewster's Cafe is and the other with all the PWPs (I'll get to that right now) - that's probably my favorite map. Plenty of opportunity to keep the focus on whatever you want it to be, and push villager houses to the outskirts... That is, if you can manage to reserve those spots. You've managed to do so and it looks great.
Anyway, the PWP fjord! Awesome. I haven't seen anyone put Tulips with the "Flower" (tulip) Topiary yet - nice work. Everything is a bit off center, but it'd take so many bells to redo it, and it looks good as it is, I'd just keep it how you have it.
I LOVE YOUR BASEBALL FIELD . I might suggest finding another grass pattern for the right side of the field though? there are plenty of them out there that look just link spring grass in the game. I'm gonna leave you some path archives, if you're interested. (

x). Those can be used if you wanted to replace your grass path as well.
the lychees look good with the peaches - i don't think i've seen that combination yet either and i'm surprised how good it looks
INSIDE
Kathy's house: excellent little restaurant. I didn't know you can customize the Lunch Tray!! I learn something new every time I dream. Very nice use of the Large Bookshelf to be a room divider where you keep your villager pics. You're really good at separating parts of a room into sections, something I haven't quite gotten the hang of. The desert bathroom was my favorite room in the house.
Santa's house: Small but nice. Exterior fits interior well.
Jill's house: I love the pink Rococo set! And I'm very impressed with the combination between the mermaid, regal and patchwork sets. I also like that your NPC pictures are separate from your villager pics. The lovely room is a bit much for me, personally; but it's cool you have the set and I'm sure it's getting you plenty of HHA points! And finally, the sweets set. Very nice overall. Each of your mannequins matches their room very well - how did you end up getting so many? The princess room is my favorite room of the house, but I think the maid outfit and the checkerboard dress clash with it. I totally understand wanting to show off hard to get Gracie items - but I'd try to get the Cake dress and use your Veil with it on the mannequin.
Overall it's an absolutely lovely town boasting a plethora of perfectly designed PWPs, hybrids as far as the eye can see, complete sets and sets combined that show a lot of originality and style, and a lot of love and care was obviously put into this town. I'll be visiting it again soon!
