Established in 1994, Trillium Village Collectors Club is one of Canada's oldest Department 56 collector clubs.  We are based in Toronto but have club members all over the province of Ontario.

The objective of our club is to provide a meeting place for club members to share the joy and excitement of their hobbies and to share display ideas featuring their favourite collectibles.  All collectors and retailers of Department 56 Village and Holiday products are welcome to join the club.  Club membership also includes an informative newsletter mailed physically or electronically to each club member every other month.  Membership form is available for download on the "About Us" page.

Trillium Village Collectors Club is a not-for-profit organization.  Although we appreciate support from our retailer members, the club is not affiliated with any Department 56 retailers.

This is my first blog of the year.   Hope everyone is doing well in 2011.  At the beginning of the year, Department 56 announced new introductions to its family of products.   Click “village” for the list of new items added to the village collection, click “snowbaby” to see the list of new Snowbaby introductions and click “others” for all other new products announced by the company.  Note that there are a number of new clock towers introduced to various village series to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of Department 56.   Each of these clock towers is limited to year of production and is priced at $35 each.
