Post subject:  My 2016 villages
I'm finally getting around to posting pics of my villages this year. My village of mostly coconut Japanese houses is similar to last year but has a few new additions. I built a stable for the nativity and a Christmas tree lot for the town. I also restored and added the red clock schoolhouse and two red and green houses.

Here's a picture of the 1941 Dolly Village replica that I built last year. It's sitting under my antique feather tree and on top of a vintage tablecloth I
inherited. My husband built the fence around the tree years ago. Now I want him to make it bigger so I can fit the village within it.

Your Dolly repros look spot on.

I made a few too.

I need to find room to set them up.

Your village is amazing!! So many nice houses, it had to be so much fun to restore them back to their original beauty. The tree is amazing and in such good condition. Are all the ornaments vintage? The dolly houses look nice under the tree. Something that would draw to much in treat for my 2 cats.

Thanks Lynn, yes all the ornaments are vintage and all glass. I've collected them for years. The earliest is from the 1890s or so and brought over from Hungary with my grandparents. The newest are from my husband's childhood tree in the 50s and 60s. There are a couple of clear glass ornaments from WWII and most are early to mid 1900s. My favorites are the birds.
