Thank you all so much, it really is a lot of fun to make these, addictive! I tried my hand at some of Howard's flatties but I'm not as good as he is so I've added a few of the lead ones you can find on ebay. Antoinette's village is awesome, isn't it? Plus I look forward to her new story each year.

Yes Howard, It's fabric over foamcore board. I found the fabric last year at JoAnn's, right around Thanksgiving time. I believe it'll be back, there wasn't much left on the bolt. It'll be in the with the quilting fabrics.

DCrowe, I actually do have a car and a little truck AND (thanks to Howard again) a service station! I will have to pick your brains on painting them - took forever to find a chevelle and it's the wrong color.

Welcome April. Glad you found the forum and thanks for posting your creations!

Hello April! Welcome. I've only been a member here for a few months, but like you I lurked for a year or more. Everyone here is so nice and helpful.
I love your houses - and the fence on the yellow cottage, and the images in the windows. Your village is coming along nicely. I love that background you have in the photo - its so dramatic. Oh, and I sew, too!

See, April, I told you the people here were nice.

Hi April, I also collect the lead flatties. Sometimes you can find them on Estyflattie.

Happy hunting!
