Big sales on D56 merchandise

One of my readers tipped us off to some department 56 sales today. Even if you don't live in the area, most stores have an online shop as well:

"Went up to the Ingleside Gift Store today. They had all retired 60% off and regular D56 50% off, plus more in their shed on the outside of the store where the percentages differ. They also had some snowbabies for 50% off. Ingleside Gift Store is in Holyoke - but then you probably knew that.

She also let me know about two other northeast hot spots of Dept 56 activity:

"There are two places that I buy from. One of them is the Cape Cod Gift Barn in North Eastham, MA. They are currently closed until April (they will be open for Feb. vacation and they do monitor their emails). They sell retired D56 pieces for 50% off. We purchased most of our older North Pole from him.

The other place we have bought from is the Department 56 Flagship Store in Myrtle Beach. They have a bunch of North pole items here for 30% off."

While the train itself is ceramic and non-working, you still get the feel of the haunted railroad. The also is not limited to just D56, as it also mentions Disney Villains from Hawthorne Village. An excerpt from the story: "In 1998, Department 56 introduced the first Halloween village collection.

Lego in the news this week

Olin administrator builds Lego Needham Town Hall It turns out that two Town Halls were built in Needham this year. One was the brick-and-mortar building sitting in Needham Center, which underwent renovations and additions and will be officially unveiled at a Needham300 event on Nov. 5.  The other Town Hall is made of Legos.  Nick Tatar, Assistant Dean of Student Life at Olin College, built this second Town Hall at Olin over the course of three months, starting in January. Working with Olin professor Brad Minch and seven children and Olin students, Tatar built the Town Hall out of fifteen thousand Lego pieces, sometimes working 10 to 15 hours a week on the project. On Nov. 5, Tatar will break the Town Hall into chunks and transport it to the other Town Hall. At noon, he will reassemble it, then step back and let people admire his handiwork.
