Last month I told someone I would take a picture of my mom's Department 56 The Orginal Snow Village collection. I finally got around to doing it. Here is the link to the pictures.

My grandma started my mom and aunts on it. I've been around it so long that my mom gave me my first piece last year. My mom now sets hers up on a banquet table. We actually don't have room for anymore buildings. Which is good because building coast anywhere from $60-150 each.

When i get my own place I can start collecting things like that! Cant wait!

My mom is now up to 3 full boxes (3ft X 1 ft X 3ft). That is not including the styrofoam, table, table clothe, and table skirt.

Oh, and one of my aunts has 4 or 5 times as many as my mom's. She has so many that she can't even display them all. Her husband keeps buying them off of Ebay.

I love miniature things like that! Thats a nice display shes got... i'm sure its hard to stop collecting!!

 

[msmagnolia]

Thanks for posting the photos. She has a great set up! I just love it.

Nice setup!! It really looks great!!

My mom is Dept. 56 nut.. she hasn't done it in a few years because she's been sick but when she would set it up, it took up our entire dining room! She wants to do it again, but it's SOOOO much work for her to do on her own so I think next year my sister and I will go out there to help.
