I don't know why, but I love putting out my Christmas village! Maybe it's the nostalgia, maybe the connection to each building I feel. Each piece represents something in our life...the coffee shop for me, the gas station for Justin....Perhaps it's my inner child, playing with houses...what ever it is, I love looking at each and every one of them and I hope you do too!
This is not an expensive line, not Dept. 56, not even Lefton, I have collected it for about 10 years now from good ole' Walmart. I know right? Sadly, my collection has ended with 12 houses because the quality is just not there anymore. However, I will cherish this collection and hopefully it will survive for my children's children!

How wonderful...the cost need not matter. Celebrate what brings you joy! I've been so busy with a last minute idea for my Christmas gifts that I haven't even pulled out my village....you have a grand collection. Hope you have a grand day!
ReplyDeleteMorning, Michelle! I love your little Christmas village mosaic!

Aw...sweet. The villages are something I never started...I think I'm glad, they would add up quickly. Yours are darling no matter what brand they are. I do think if my blog is still around next year (it better be) that I will get out my daughter's doll house and decorate it. My dad made it for her when she turned 9 and it is huge. (She's 25 now) I think we all still love to play!
ReplyDeleteThese houses are adorable! I treasure mine as well and can't wait to bring them out each year.
ReplyDeleteYour village is precious. I had one years ago...but decided to part with it. Not sure it was one of my brightest decisions...but trust me, I still am not hurting in the decorations dept!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pieces - very nostalgic! I can see why you enjoy putting it out each year!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteYour village is beautiful!
