Five New Halloween Ideas for Department 56

 
You may recall last year's list of halloween piece ideas - there was some pretty creative ideas. My wife was the creative source for "Smokey Bones Crematorium". This year we're keeping up the tradition by coming up with five more halloween buildings for Department 56.

Bats in my Attic: it's an attic residence over a garage, and you are able to see bats hanging in there. You can also see an almost-hidden coffin in the corner.

Spooky Bowl: This piece would recreate the look and feel of a football field on a graveyard setting, complete with skeletal quarterback.

Jack's Pumpkin Painting Palace: This is an expansion of the Jack's Carving Studio, and features multiple creatively painted pumpkins surrounding a studio.

Landing in The Scarefield: It's a landing strip with a half of an airplane and skeletal pilots. A crow sits on one of the wings, and grass grows along the sides.

Mummies Curse Club: A table for four, where mummies play with a voodoo doll of a witch while drinking tea.

I think the original Snow Village Halloween is probably the hottest of the Department 56 villages. They should go all out marketing it. I know on the official corporate website they feature the 10th anniversary.

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
