Although we are still officially in Spring, I am certain everyone cannot wait for Summer to arrive. In Canada here, the “May 24th” weekend is usually when everyone gets antsy to have his/her cottage opened or to have plants/flowers planted in the garden. And yet, just like clockworks, the weather does not co-operate (at least in the Ontario area). Oh well, c’est la vie, right?
But for our club, we certainly have a lot to look forward to. Our next meeting is going to be our Annual General Meeting. And you say, what? why? didn’t you already have one in your March meeting? Wish we did but due to poor weather condition (i.e. ice storm), we had to cancel that meeting and postpone our AGM till the May meeting. For this AGM, we will have elections on the following positions: President, Vice President and Treasurer. We will also be renewing our club membership. Can’t wait to see everyone again after an unexpected hiatus.
Speaking of “can’t wait”, Department 56 has also unveiled a few more new pieces available for sale in 2025. Time to save up some money to purchase these goodies. Here are some of the new items:
And in case you did not notice, Department 56 has also introduced a couple of new village series:
Scenterville – a lighted Village house with a USB-powered wax warmer and its rooftop is a removable silicone tray that holds scented wax; that’s technology in play!
Canyon Village – a US Southwestern style of buildings that are familiar with snowbirds
Let’s wait and see how well received these 2 villages are for collectors.
