I have been making my villages for 14 years and have never done the same thing twice. It has increased over the years and I try to make it different so that people are drawn to look for their favorite part of the village.
Thanks

148927These are so wonderfully done! Thanks for sharing! NO - you are not imposing on cuties! These are so worth looking at. Besides how can it be imposing? - we don't have to look, so obviously we love it!

109774I knew your villages had a lot of detail, but the european style running fountain is amazing. It makes me think of the shop windows with christmas scenes. Its truly artistic, beautiful, and amazing to gaze upon. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

I have a village but not as elaborate as this. I have not been able to put mine up for the last several years because of health problems...... I can only imagine how long this took and you've done a wonderful job.
I've seen professional ones that are not this nice!
Bravo!

Thank you,
This one took me 3 days, after 14 years I have this down to a science. This one is pretty basic for me, health problems have slowed me down this year so I limited my
village this year.

19282Michelle, I just can't get enough of these! They really stir my imagination! I LOVE the snow hill with the skiers and the sledding! and the fountain - oh MY! Is that an outhouse with a wreath? Is there a Santa somewhere to visit? Who is the maker of these beautiful people? I look at these and just drool! Truly, I'd love to see even more photos - I wish I could see the real thing! This is special beyond words. Do any school children get to come see it? Thank you so very much for sharing it with us! You are a master at making it all seem real the way you put it all together!

Thank you Jan,
I get the feeling your a village nut like I am. Do you have one? Most of my businesses are from LEMAX, a company in Austria. Their detail is incredible and I am very particular when it comes to detail. If you would like I
can send you some more pics under personals, don't want to impose to much on cuties,

Michelle, I don't have a single piece! I have a few music boxes and don't have a way to display them. We live in a log cabin, with not enough room. So, I try to enjoy others' beautiful work. I am just a nut for miniature anything, though. I get really caught up in collecting and have to have the whole set - I will just enjoy yours! Thank you so very much for sharing! Jan
