Village D-LightsThe latest issue of Village D-Lights, a wonderful magazine of village collecting, display tips and product information, arrived in my mailbox yesterday. It's always well received in our home and stays out on our reading table for many weeks.

Here is what you'll find in this (September/October) issue:

* A feature article on the American Candle store. We'll definitely have to check out that store. They have some nice displays. I'll contact them for a featured post.

* 15 years of the NCC - the National Council of Department 56 collectors.

* City Lights expansion - a feature on one of the largest christmas store.

* Schedule of Department 56 artist signings

* A look at early modern architecture used in D56 buildings

* Space saving vignette tips

* Boo-tiful halloween displays

* A display which (witch?) is to die for!

There's also many regular sections of the magazine: reader submissions, letter from the editor, trivia, display ideas, hints and tips, and much more!
