Hello! My name is Denise. I joined the forum but have just got around to really looking around the site. So many things to look at. I am the current owner of about 15 Putz houses. Some are stamped “made in Japan”. Some have 10 cents marked on them. I remember as a lte girl my dad building a village under our tree which took him 2 days to complete. At that time, there were more houses. Some unfortunately were damaged in a blizzard when snow got into the garage attic. I am told some of these houses belonged to my grandfather. I have had them for the last 35 years and treat them as babies. Some are very fragile due to their age. I have repaired some that were completely falling apart doing the minimal just to keep them together. I did not want to venture out there too far since I do not know what I am doing. I love looking at patterns and imaging all the things I want to add. For the time being, I am going to look and browse. I want to attempt building some houses too. Thanks for all the great info. I look forward to seeing what all your great creative minds come up with! |
