Christmas Village 2023

#lemax #lemaxdickensvale #christmasvillage #christmas2023
Porcelain figurines are from the 1990's Lemax Dickensvale collection
I hand crafted the snow hill & ski lift
The base is not on a table, I built it from boxes & 20 x 30 foam boards + styrofoam. I hand crafted the sidewalks out of foam board & paper. Streets were made from 12 x 18 foam sheets & 1/8 inch yellow masking tape, placing down double yellow lines & applying same width 1/8 inch double sided tape to secure adhesion.

    Even though it doesn't really have a train set it has a lot of detail even a couple of red convertibles with it.

    Great job! I really liked the layout of your village and the added touches, especially the pedestrian crossings. Isnt it a wonderful feeling when your village finally comes to life! Unfortunately this year we are unable to set up our display, it will be the first time without a village in over 30 years. But definitely next year. Once again great job on the village it looks awesome!

    @frendoville6236 Yes when it finally comes to life its a great feeling! I created my own streets this year bec the ones they sell are not wide enough to fit the 2-way traffic. So I bought black foam sheets 12" x 18 " cut them to size, and got 1/16" yellow masking tape & made the double yellow lines & for the crosswalks i cut up mailing labels, all secured with double sided tape. I must of changed the layout 1 dozen times at the time of setting it up, as I have to work row by row, & had to figure out how to get it all in. 😂 Planning never works for me, I have to design as I move along, only overall planning works. You guys did not set up your village this year but Frendoville still lives on with me. I watched your video again & I am still in awe as in last year. Well another year will be here quick & by then you will be overwhelmed with ideas I am sure. Nevertheless your spectacular village still lives on & looking forward to what you guys build next year ! ❤

    Thank you! The green house is unbranded. I bought it in Rite Aid in 1996. I have kept it in good condition. 😊 They had these beautiful porcelain houses for only a few years back then and then never made them again.
