Janie, do you know where the name "Dept 56" comes from? Seems an odd name for a retailer.

I'll have to read up, but if I recall right, they started off as a part of a larger company and they were the 56th division. I do know that they were sold to Enesco sometimes in the last few years. Enesco made the Wonderful Life/ Bedford Falls village.

I have some, actually. And they will be getting posted soon.
@triciayoung sent me an advent calendar for Christmas this year. Several of the drawers had minature chickens in them.
So, of course, I had to purchase a barn, and then more animals. At some point, before next Christmas, I'll need to buy a farmhouse...and a tractor.
