It was meant to be! I received the most lovely vintage white and shimmery box from Freda, of
Sew What's New.
The part that's "meant to be" is today is White Wednesday at
Faded Charm and I planned on linking to show my Christmas Village. With that in mind, I sifted through my remaining matchboxes to discover Freda's little white gem intended for Day 8. Okay, maybe not a Christmas miracle, but let's at least call it a sign! So thank you Freda for your beautiful little gift and for the
tie-in to White Wednesday.
I've been collecting these village pieces for many years, and of all the holiday decorating I do, amassing the village (I believe it may have grown to city status) is indeed a labor of love. Just bringing the boxes up from the basement is a job! It's extremely difficult to capture the charm and serenity of this snowy vintage winter wonderland. I hope you enjoy visiting nonetheless.
I'm also linked with All Things Merry & Brite at

Oh, your village has stolen my heart!
I think its more like a country rather than a village.......lol It all looks fabulous. Annette x
Oh my goodness, this is no longer a village! It is now, most definitely, a city! It's beautiful.
Lovely collection of villages, it is very festive. I just wanted to say thanks for your art work, I have your #12 matchbox and simply love it. HUGS MARY
I just love your village. I'm not able to put mine up this year as I am fostering too many kitties right now and it's a recipe for disaster. I didn't even put up my big tree, just a tiny one over the mantle. Oh well, it's the trade off for giving these little guys homes until I find their forever home. Have a wonderful holiday season.
Hugs
I love your amazing Christmas village! you have so many wonderful pieces to it and have the set displayed beautifully! We didn't put mine up this year :( but still settling into this place we moved into...next year it will get a special spot!

Your mantel village is beautiful! Thanks for your nice comments!
Oh my goodness, Joanne! My sister-in-law had a collection like this a few years ago, but she eventually let them go and started something else. We were always thrilled to see her display of houses. Lovely.
Wow-what a christmas village-it's amazing!
That is a gorgeous village. And the old picture above...is that a family piece? Adorable!
