I have a village too, and I know how much time, work, and money goes in to such a large, nice village. We lived in England for a while (now we are back in the states) so I have collected pieces that remind me of places I saw in England. It is fun to look at and be reminded of our time there.

I still use the original Flat house but only as an extra house belonging to 'anyone'. Being that it was my first Dept. 56 piece I don't think I can ever get rid of it.<br />Thank you for the kind words about my collection. They're pretty addicting aren't they?Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-63426373640567030462011-12-10T17:40:00.594-05:002011-12-10T17:40:00.594-05:00Why did you opt for that Scrooge house instead of ...Why did you opt for that Scrooge house instead of the flat? I am torn between the two and would love input. I prefer the counting house you chose (versus the one-story version), BTW.

Unfortunately, we have two cats that love to get into everything, so she no longer goes all out. Nice to see someone else with a great Dickens display!PvtSam75https://www.blogger.com/profile/00304945310687112481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-7872703490327907162011-11-08T17:12:49.953-05:002011-11-08T17:12:49.953-05:00Magnificent!
