There are signs beginning to show which lead us to believe D56 may emerge as a better, more focused company than the entity which purchased Lenox. With the 2009 introductions just around the corner, village collectors can exhale and expect to see a stronger, more focused village-producing company in 2009 and beyond.
From the original Department 56 collectors group on Yahoo, one villager wrote:
"I thought you'd be interested to learn what my friend found out this past week in a conversation with her former Michigan D56 rep. There is a strong effort afoot to "extract" the core D56 business from the Lenox abyss and keep some semblance of the village business going into the future. This has been rumored in postings by others here but it is the first time that I've heard something fairly definite and accurate from an insider. I think this news, coupled with the planned 09 introductions in the coming month, is another reason
to be encouraged that we aren't on the verge of completely losing the source of
our passion.
Just like with the current round of inaccurate postings regarding large retail corporations going out of business and the admonition to not buy gift cards, I think we all need to pause a moment and realize that the kind of panic that can be set off by the doom-n-gloom crowd doesn't help any aspect of our economy."
