The Clock Towers of Department 56 2011

In making my selections for my favorite introductions of 2011, I noticed each series unveiled a new clock tower. My son, almost three, is currently fascinated by clocks and has inspired me to perhaps make a vignette of all of the clock towers. The towers are on the less expensive side, so it may work out. Each is around $35. Now I simply need to come up with some ideas for the landscape. Here are the new towers. See if you can guess which series spawned each tower: Related articles Enormous antique tower clock for sale (boingboing.net) 15 Beautiful Clock Towers Around The World (PHOTOS) (huffingtonpost.com)

Favorite picks from the new D56 Introductions, part three

From the "Original Snow Village" series, I definitely thought "Moondoggie's Board Shop" was the most original and fun piece: For sheer and utter gross-ness, how can I not pick the "Retching Pumpkin Diner" from the "Original Snow Village Halloween" series? From the "Williamsburg" series, there is only one new building, but it is quite nice. It's the "King's Arm Tavern": Related articles CONTEST - The Moondoggies @ The Horseshoe - February 2, 2011 (chromewaves.net)
