Building a Snow Village landscape, part one

We're going to begin building our first landscape. I know there are a lot of villagers out there with experience, so don't be shy with advice, tips, links, etc. We are a bit space-challenged in regards to the size and shape of the display, but we will make do with what we can. Maybe three of four vignettes instead of one big display. Here's what we've got for pieces:



Starbucks Building
Campbells Soup and the corresponding accessory
Gus's Drive In
Dinah's Drive In
Pillsbury Bake Shop
Long Haul Truck Stop
News Gazette
Comic Book Shop
Red Barn
Christmas Shop
Playhouse



Train Station
Stardust Movie Theater
Roadside Signs
Mighty Fine BBQ and accessory
Sharky's Pool Hall
Budweiser Brewery and Clydesdales

Also including the "A Christmas Story" set from Sears:
Ralphie's House
Bumpus's House
School House
Chinese Restaurant
Town Hall
Fire House
Higbee's Department Store
Town Xmas Tree

The couple have snowy scenes from the North Pole and Elfland set up in the living room, while the garage is filled with a huge Christmas in the City display, complete with streets, bridges and a baseball park. But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things. When somebody comes up with a unique idea, you try and share it. It’s always nice to see somebody do something different.” ... click here to read the rest of the article
