Dept 56 New England Christmas Village

Posted on December 1, 2015

Ho-Ho-Ho, kittens and dawgs! Yesterday, I featured two flash mob videos for round one of December’s BoTB to kick off the Christmas season. I hope you’ll check it out here and play along.

I love every thing about Christmas. Please indulge my inner child and have fun with me.

This is a scene from last Christmas I snapped of my Dept. 56 New England Village. That’s the Old North Church from Boston, ME and Addy’s Bed and Breakfast. These were the first two buildings DH got me for Christmas 1992.

I have prints of my darling daughters; ages 2 and 4 mesmerized with the lighted buildings and figurines. They were such sweet little girls; always respectful to not disturb the fragile pieces without help.

I bumped the exposure a bit so you can see the pieces better.

Thinking about presents under the tree got those gears turning in my noggin’. I’m always short when it comes to having the right box on hand for gift giving. I stumbled upon this Christmas Pencil Box template (freebie) that not only cute, but it could serve as a life saver and I knew I had to share it with you. Just so you’ll know because I’m a good friend insert cheesy grin I shared another freebie on my BoTB post.

 

Thanks for joining the fun. I hope you’ll decide to visit a few of my favorite #WW shutterbugs link ups! Have a fototastic day!

  2. There was a time when my mom put up a Christmas village, but it hasn’t happened for several yeas now. It just feels like work to me. However, I love to admire other people’s decorations, so thank you for sharing yours!

  3. I love these little villages! My mom has a set too and the kids just love looking at it each year. I wish I had the room for one too. It’s like a tiny peek into another era. I’m doing my Christmas decorating this week too. I’m a gift bag kinda girl, and I save them all. I must have a hundred different ones by now.

  6. We have a few Dept 56 things around our house along with similar holiday themed items. They are scattered all over our house and stay in place throughout the year. I’d love to have a space where we could set up an entire “village” in one place during the holiday season, but not sure where we could logically do it.

  7. Hi, Cathy!

    I love your charming miniature New England Village. I can understand why your darling girls were mesmerized by the lights, colors and intricate detail.

    Thanks for playing “Show & Tell,” dear friend! 🙂
