Well, I see Bill's TVC site has transitioned to a fall itinerary, including a reminder that it's time to start thinking about what, if any, holiday displays are contemplated. Not sure what we're doing, but best to start contemplating. TVC |

Stumbling around in Walmart this AM, I see they've got all of the Christmas stuff out. Picked up this mini-sized ceramic house for a couple bucks:  We used to put a few of these on the mantel each year, but haven't for awhile. Might need to drag them out and see what can be done with them.  |

With Halloween 2024 in the books and Thanksgiving being a non-decorating event, thoughts begin to turn toward the annual Christmas display. Until the wife chimes in, almost anything seems possible  . I'm always on the lookout for "new" ideas, and a friend of mine sent me a link to this; it's terrific: The Village of Make BelieveLast year we had just a simple 42-inch loop around the tree with a few ceramic buildings. Maybe a second level this year... |

Although I will probably have 3 layouts.

I look forward to a few pics come December! You'll get more than pics. I always video my gardens and post them on my YouTube channel. This years challenge is I purchased several new sets since last year and can't decide which of them will make the featured spot. They are all very special sets.

I was over to Lowes, Kohls, Walmart, and Michael's...didn't see anything from the ceramic lines that struck my fancy. I'll take a trip down to Valley View Farms to check out the Dept-56 offerings; if I don't find anything there, might look at the secondary market on eBay and Etsy. Really don't need anything for the limited space I have, but always fun to look around.
