I was thinking how I need to get my winter village out and on display. I thought it would be interesting to see how many of you display villages. Several years ago my mom and my daughter got me started on this. They bought me about 6 beautiful porceline pieces and the accessories( winter trees, children playing etc), since then my winter village has grown, my daughter usually buys me a piece to add each year. My village lights up, I display it on quilt batting for the appearance of snow. My family really likes it.

Me!!
We have a little winter village with train and all....
I can never keep it in one place though....DS thinks they are for his personal enjoyment...I am just glad he hasn't broken anything!

I know what you mean, my little grand daughter loves to touch all the accessories, open the gates, move the playing children around. She is 4 and is really fasinated with it.

I have a village I put up every Christmas. It's from the North Pole Village Collection by Department 56. My mom started me on the collection when I graduated from college. She gives me a special building every year for Christmas, and accessories for my birthday...20 years in the making now. I put mine on batting, and use books under the batting to make different levels for the buildings. Then I sprinkle those sparkly irredescent flakes that make the batting look like snow. (A real mess to clean every year, too)

They have beautiful village displays at Bronner's in Frankenmuth!
