Thanks to my friends at the Original Department 56 Yahoo Discussion Group and Village D-Lights magazine, we have the names of the new pieces coming out (once we get hold of some pics, we'll post them):

"Polar Bear Palace" from the North Pole Series

"The Gingerbread House" from the "Christmas Lane" subset of the Snow Village Series

"Barrow Manor" for Dickens' Village

"The Regal Ballroom" from the Christmas in the City Series

"Scarecrow Harvest Festival" from the Fall Harvest Series of Snow Village

"Rondel Cottage" of New England Village

"Castle Wolfstein" representing the Alpine Series.

Apparently the new 'stuff' will be on the Dept 56 web site on December 17.
