There are just 34 days until Father's Day!
My name is Teri and I am a Village-aholic!
My addiction began several years ago while visiting my sister in Virginia. There I was introduced to her North Pole village collection and was immediately infatuated! We visited her local Department 56 dealer where all the different villages were on display and where I spent several hours vacillating between them all.
I finally settled upon the Alpine Village and I have been heavily mortgaged ever since! I have recently annexed the Dickens' Village and the Original Snow Village into my collection!
My obsession led to the creation of this Web site! I hope it gets you enthused about village collecting!
I invite you to check out the new introductions and recent retirements, take a look at some of the variations and mistakes, discover new display ideas as well as other interesting articles, search the village database, and share your greatest find!
