Today, Zynga silently confirmed that more new Valentine's Day themed items would be released in FarmVille to coincide with the upcoming holiday by releasing a third video in their now trio of Valentine's Day Theme Showcase videos. This video also looks to show off a few more items that may be releasing in honor of the Chinese New Year.
This video shows off a ton of unreleased items, many of which we're just seeing for the first time. There's a lovely pink fountain, two gnomes (one appears as though she may be wearing a wedding dress), what looks like a Pink Stallion, a Bamboo Forest, a chair and building absolutely covered in sweet treats (a new theme perhaps), an adorable, animated drive-in movie theater and more.
As usual, the details concerning these items are slim at best, as we don't know when they will release in full, how they'll be released (Mystery Game, store, free gifts, etc.) or how much they'll cost (where applicable). Stay tuned though - we'll be sure to give you all the details about these new items as soon as they launch in the game.

FarmVille Mardi Gras Trees: Mardi Gras Tree & Giant Mardi Gras Tree
Just as we predicted, this weekend's FarmVille update brought with it the many Mardi Gras themed items that we brought you sneak peeks of last week. This first duo of items comes in the form of the two Mardi Gras Trees that look similar to last year's release, but are in fact entirely new trees.
As you might expect, the normally sized tree costs just 5 Farm Cash, while the giant version costs 10 Farm Cash. You'll be able to master both trees by harvesting them once every two days, and you'll reach the first star of mastery for each tree after 75 harvests. Remember, if you'd rather just purchase one of these trees, in an effort to save some Farm Cash, just purchase the normal Mardi Gras Tree and then place it into one of your Orchards, as you'll then have a chance to spawn the giant tree as a Mystery Seedling.
Both of these trees will be available in the game for the next two weeks, so make sure to purchase them fast and throw a Mardi Gras celebration now while you still can.
What do you think of these two new trees?

FarmVille Mardi Gras Animals: Carnival Horse, Carnival Foal, and Carnival Pig
A trio of new Mardi Gras themed animals were released as part of tonight's FarmVille update, with two of these being available in the game's store. These two animals are the Carnival Horse and the Carnival Pig, both of which are unfortunately only available for Farm Cash.
First, the Carnival Pig costs 18 Farm Cash, and can be harvested from once every two days. You'll gain 1800 experience points for purchasing it. Meanwhile, the Carnival Horse costs more at 26 Farm Cash. You'll gain 2600 experience points for spending more on the horse, which can be harvested every three days; that is, unless you place it inside the Horse Stable, where it can be harvested once daily. This is also the way to create the third animal in the game - the Carnival Foal - as you'll have a chance of breeding a foal when you have the Horse and a Stallion in your Horse Stable.
Remember though - as exciting as it might be to breed this horse to create a foal will only be sharable to your friends, and you won't actually get to keep one of your own. To have a Carnival Foal on your own land, you'll need to look out for wall posts from friends that have bred their own horses and received one at random.
Both the Carnival Horse and Carnival Pig will be available in the game's store for the next two weeks, while of course the Carnival Foal will continue to be available for long after.
Which of these two animals is your favorite? Do you think either is worth the high Farm Cash price?

FarmVille Mardi Gras Decorations: French Quarter, Carnival Float, Mask Fountain & More
With tonight's FarmVille update came the release of three new decorative items in the game's new Mardi Gras theme, along with the re-release of two items that were first made available in the game at around this time last year. These new decorations are split into two actual decorations and one building, with the building being the French Quarter - a building that is styled after those you'd see on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, the home of Mardi Gras.
The French Quarter is quite substantial in size, so keep that in mind. It costs 25 Farm Cash to add to your farm, and you'll gain 2500 experience points for purchasing it. The building has no function, but simply looking at this intricately designed and colorful building seems to be enough.
Meet us behind the break for a look at the other items released this evening. As for the decorations, again, some of these are new and some were released last year. Both of the new items are Farm Cash only, with a Carnival Float being available for 12 Farm Cash, and a Mask Fountain costing 15 Farm Cash. Personally, the Mask Fountain is the much more interesting item here, regardless of its slightly higher price tag, as it animates with flying confetti and of course water pouring out of the fountain's top and sides. You'll gain 1500 experience points for purchasing the Mask Fountain, and only 120 for buying the Carnival Float.
Finally, the two re-released items are the Carnival Mask I and Carnival Mask II. Both of these items are available for coins, and come in the form of masks perched on sticks. Both cost 2,200 coins, will reward you with 22 experience points for purchasing, and can be sold for 110 coins in return. Luckily, these are the exact same stats as when they were first available in the game, so no need to feel bitter about a price hike here (as has been the case in the past).
Remember, the Fairy Tale theme that had taken up residence in the game over the past few weeks has officially ended, so if you're looking to spend coins and Farm Cash on some new decorations in the game, you can either pick over what's still available in the store (a selection that is lessening quickly as things expire), or you can jump into the Mardi Gras spirit and pick up items in this new theme, which will be available for the next two weeks.
Which of these items is your favorite? Do you have any of the Carnival Masks from last year, that you're pulling out of storage for this year's celebration, or are all of these items new to you?

FarmVille Mardi Gras Masks now available for your avatar
No, it isn't Halloween, but there are two new masks that you can now outfit your in-game avatar with in FarmVille, with both being available in the new Mardi Gras limited edition item theme. Unfortunately, if you want to dress your avatar up for the party, you'll need to spend just a bit of Farm Cash, as both of these masks are premium.
Both of these masks, appropriately named Mardi Gras Mask I and Mardi Gras Mask II, cost 5 Farm Cash each, and will reward your with 175 experience points for purchasing them. Note that if you purchase one, and your avatar was currently wearing some sort of costume, you will be reverted back to a normal shirt and pants, so you'll need to customize the rest of your appearance to go along with this new mask.
I personally went with a Purple Blouse and Purple Overalls to carry on the theme (as Mardi Gras is traditionally filled with shades of purple, gold, and green), but you're more than welcome to go with any combination that you'd like (or have available via the items you've previously purchased).
Both of these masks will be available in the game for the next two weeks, but if you want to get the most use out of them, your best bet would be to purchase them sooner, rather than later, to make the most of the occasion.

FarmVille Mystery Game (3/6/2011): Spring-themed items clear away the snow
While the FarmVille store may have been packed full with Mardi Gras themed items in tonight's game update, there is one area that is entirely different - that being this week's Mystery Game. This week, we clear away the cold chill of winter for a set of new Spring-themed items, including the Yellow Unicorn we brought you a sneak peek of previously.
This week's Mystery Game luckily returns us to the "normal" price tag of 16 Farm Cash per single dart thrown at the board. For that price, you'll have a chance to land one of the following six items:
Hummingbirds
Butterfly Fountain
Fawn Deer
Baby Alpaca
White Kitten
Yellow Unicorn
You'll likely also recognize the Fawn and Baby Alpaca from previous posts here on Games.com - The Blog!, so it's great to see these items officially find a place in the game, even if it is without a guarantee that you'll actually end up with them if you want them. Still, any of these items would make a great addition to your farm, so I don't think the disappointment will last.
As usual, you have a week to try and earn all six of these items in your game, as next Sunday the game's items will rotate, and these six will no longer be available, and likely won't be available again for some time, if ever.
Which of these six items are you most hoping to win from this week's Mystery Game? Would you pay a flat price for any of these items if they were released in the market, or do you like that Zynga makes a game of it?
