I have now been collecting the Dept 56 villages for about
five years. Space is a problem and for a while mine were
displayed on a table in the dining room but I have since placed
them in glass front cabinets to keep dust (and pet hair) away.
I like the Dickens Village and Snow Village.
I collect books and thimbles and lighthouses also. Most of the books
are just for reading. I have thimbles from almost every state and from
some foreign countries. My kitchen is decorated with some of my
lighthouse things.
 My most unusual collectible is probably the old magazine ads featuring the Flying Red Horse. They are hard to find but I love the art- work. I can remember looking through magazines as a very young child and being fascintated with the beautiful ads. When I was able (many years later) I found old magazines and bought those for the pictures.
