A new way to keep records and values of your D56 collection

Bill Laughlin has been an avid Department 56 village collector since 1993. He spent his first $5,500.00 in 2 weeks and has never looked back. He completed the entire village in 2003. His store, Christmas, Etc. is open all year in Florida.

Bill Laughlin is now releasing "THE VILLAGE REGISTRY", a way to keep written records and values of your collection. It will be in a binder format so that information can be easily added every year. This will be the first book to have all 3 types of introductions at each year's publication: January, Mid-year and Specialty pieces.

Each book will come with 2 custom Burgundy, D-ring binders, corresponding pages and village tabs. You will be able to set the book in the format that best suits you, the collector. Each year after, there will be a supplement. There will also be available extra binders, due to many special requests.

There is a bonus for the NCC and for the collectors attending the gathering in June. THE VILLAGE REGISTRY will pay for shipping costs for all clubs that order and pay before April 12, 2008. The reason for the deadline is so that collectors can receive their books before the end of May. We need to know what our first press run has to be, and schedule press time.

Ordering information is available on the Village Registry website

A Couple's Wintery Village Scenes

Showing that just because Christmas is over, doesn't mean it's time to take down your snowy scenes...I found this article in the Villages Daily Sun : "Walking in a winter wonderland takes on new meaning when anyone enters the home of Don and Lorraine Crowley. 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
