Hello all,

I thought I would get out some of my houses. This year I am trying to wire the street lamps. I will send more pics later. Enjoy!!

What a wonderful collection of houses. I love the flatties, I am a collector and love to see them in the villages.
I have been thinking about these wonderful street lights, it's nice to know there are reproduction available. Will be checking those out.
