@GregM posted:Stopped in a local store “just to look around” on our way home after Dr. appointments last week. Found out the store was having a clearance on older Dept 56 Dickens Village buildings. We already have several DV buildings but found a couple we liked that we didn’t own. There was no way I was passing up the Gad’s Hill Place” building for $25. Also got the “T. Puddlewick Spectacle Shop” (it was $20) because I have needed glasses since the 5th grade.
A few days later I was thinking about a couple other DV buildings we saw on clearance and decided to purchase them too. Well once in the store we were informed about other series of buildings also on clearance. Sometimes I get a little carried away but in this case I had set a maximum spending limit that we would have kept to if it wasn’t for the two $15 buildings my wife bought (and she paid for). Lol. We ended up getting 3 Dickens Village, 4 New England Village, and 2 Alpine Village buildings. The Alpine Village buildings were the ones my wife bought.
Here are a few pictures of the remaining buildings. The first picture is the two buildings I specifically went back to buy. The next two pictures are the other buildings we purchased, setup on the fireplace mantle.
And if that’s not enough, each purchase earned us “Santa bucks” that we used to buy these fence sections.
Greg, if your looking for more Imight have some, I just have to talk to the wife!
