Caraway Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Does anyone have/collect a miniature Christmas village? If so, what brand, and how do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I have quite a few pieces of Dept. 56's Dickens Village. It all started when Mr. Ellie bought Bob Cratchit's Cottage many years ago, and then I discovered that Dept. 56 had a 12 Days of Christmas series of figures. I love 12 Days of Christmas stuff. :-) So now I have all of that series, plus some odds and ends of Charles Dickens figures. Most everything I bought on e-bay in the summer, and some things at random shops. I have no room for anything else, though. I have just enough room on the top of my buffet and one shelf in the china cabinet for what I have. I am finished. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I collect Dept. 56 Dickens Village, too. I really like it. It's a good hobby to have, and I add pieces each year. My mom buys me a large piece for my birthday every year and I'll add trees and people and things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I have a Colonial Williamsburg village and I love it. Unfortunately, it's elsewhere this year so I have to do w/o it. I may have to let it go, as moving it here will be complicated and setting it up w/ the different electricity difficult. Sigh.... I love that thing.

dsmith Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Our village is stained glass. It's no longer being made, so we try to pick up a piece every year on ebay. It looks so pretty all lit up! I'd upload a picture but I have no idea how with the new forums. Here's a link to one of the houses from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Forma-Vitrum-Vitreville-SH32A-PASTORS-PLACE-COA-Signed-2582-MIB-/320981164251?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4abbf7e0db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I don't really collect...as I would guess a collection would all be from the same design. Mine are from several collections, and I use the smaller scale ones to add "forced perspective" when decorating. I blame it all on Plasticville and the trainsets of my youth. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
