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.

Year of the Dragon


Just in case you don’t know, the above title is NOT a reference to a martial art movie.  Today, one of the most important dates in the Chinese calendar, marks the start of a brand new year, the Year of the Dragon.  According to the Chinese zodiac, dragon is the mightiest and the most powerful of all zodiac animals and the Year of the Dragon has always been considered as the luckiest year.  During the Chinese New Year celebration, one greets friends and family with the following phrase that loosely translates as "Congratulations and be prosperous": Kung Hei Fat Choy (恭喜發財)

And just in case you don’t know, our Home Tour page has been updated recently with photographs from the tour of Darlene and Lucy’s homes.  Both ladies and their spouses greeted their guests with big smiles and even bigger hugs.  From those of us who were able to visit these two ladies and their lovely homes, a great big thanks for a job well done!
