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.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


Ok, so I am a little bit behind with Christmas, but it was never too late to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas holiday, right?   As for the new year, I wish everyone a healthy and happy 2013.  Now that we have survived the Mayan’s “end of the world” prediction, we can surely be looking forward to brighter days ahead.

And speaking of brand new, Department 56 has yet to unveil its new introduction for 2013.  But we manage to find out from Department 56’s parent company’s (Enesco) web site that the new Village and Snowbabies items are all set to go!   Click on their links and find out for yourself what Village and Snowbabies you will be buying to add to your collection in the new year.   Here are just some of the 2013 introduction to pique your interest:

Last but not least, our annual holiday brunch is soon upon us.  As in the past few years, we will be heading to the Mandarin Chinese buffet restaurant in the Brampton area on Saturday January the 5th.   Please contact tvcc@rogers.com for more information.   After the brunch, we are planning to head for the open houses graciously offered by a couple of club members.
