Showcase
Since you can't come to my house to view all of my displays, I'd like to show them to you here. I hope you will enjoy them. Most of the photos can be enlarged or some will even let you see a close up page. The displays stay up all year long, except for the Snowbunnies, Merry Makers, Little Town of Bethlehem, and any ornaments. I add the snow in the winter, and then I take it all off in the spring. This way the displays correspond to the seasons! All of these pictures have been updated on March 5, 2001, including the Snowbunny display. And now to the displays!! |

| This display is at my grandma's house. This
is upstairs in a spare bedroom. This is what I mentioned as my big display.
I have 70+ houses in here. This is my favorite display. It is on a 4x7
piece of wood. I then placed styrofoam on top of that. I added all of my
larger pieces (globe, all my palaces, tower, etc.) and then the other smaller
pieces. I also included the animated Santa plus the animated "All Around
The Park" piece. Please take a look at all the close ups! I have many close
up pics of this display.
I had to add on to this display for 1999. I open the secretary shelf to add 10 houses. It gave me a lot more display room. I was even able to add the Mill Creek River pieces! Please take a look at the close up pictures! It is now 2000. I was out of space (again) and I had many pieces left to display. I decided to add a back row to the length of the display. I raised the row approximately 6 inches. It added a good deal of display space. This is my FAVORITE display. |
