I don't believe I've ever seen a greenhouse though. How wonderful that it came from your Mom. I have a friend whose Mother also died and left a basement full of those houses. They really were a thing. My Mom had four or five and we divided them up after she passed. I do like having just a few. I wonder if they ever made a yarn shop.

How on earth did she manage those???? My mom had some sort of "gnome" collection by some artist - not the kind like garden gnomes, but some "artsy" (?) and collectible kind of gnomes; I've forgetten the name of the collection/artist now because I had to get rid of all of them and I'm choosing to repress it all. Anyway. She didn't have 400. Thank god.)Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-86536673992497701992020-12-15T18:22:50.970-05:002020-12-15T18:22:50.970-05:00The Christmas villages are always to charming and ...The Christmas villages are always to charming and I've enjoyed and admired friends displays.

I had Dept 56 houses and my mom did, too.

I really love it when small sets like this take the time to include interesting details (I notice the same kinds of things on my daughter's Lego sets).<br /><br />Your comment about the dinosaurs in the manger reminded me of Emma Thompson's line in Love Actually: "There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?!"Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-76789307625404545162020-12-15T08:46:01.525-05:002020-12-15T08:46:01.525-05:00I've never heard of these pieces, Bonny, so yo...I've never heard of these pieces, Bonny, so you have shown me something completely new to me. I love the greenhouse! That is fabulous for a Christmas display. I have toyed with the idea of getting a real greenhouse myself, but have never gotten one. BTW, my SIL sent us a beautiful Christmas cactus for the holidays, something I have grown to admire a lot from reading your blog. Hope I can keep it alive, LOL.becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-10351957077524526392020-12-15T07:51:19.393-05:002020-12-15T07:51:19.393-05:00I love hte pieces you chose to keep Bonny.

I love it (being a bit of a Dept 56 collector myself for a few years when my kids were little... the girls loved moving the people all around, perhaps poor Sam had no chance for shenanigans, his oldest sister scolded him, lol)<br /><br />You have inspired me to share my Santa village this year (although, you have much better pieces than me, imo!!)AsKatKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176601489544011641noreply@blogger.com
