I've seen brick "printies" before but never ones with poinsettias on them: --STRANGE little putz village http://ateliercheri.com/what-the-putz-i ... camera-159

They are certainly colorful. Do you think they came from the factory like that?

I'm not sure about the roofs but the house structure itself looks as if it was original....

Looks like original cellophane, which you can only get if you find it in the houses you buy. Someone apparently found a set in great condition and "improved them" by covering them with wrapping paper and gold bric-a-brack. Her version of "shabby chic," no doubt. Not my taste. (Did I say that nicely?)

Yeah, not my taste either, but they have definitely been cared for, the windows and doors certainly haven't seen any little kid fingers. Thats a pretty neat find!
