Lemax Collection for Sale

Unfortunately, it looks as though I will no longer be able to put up my Lemax displays due to permanent health problems. I've spent most of this past year either in bed or at seeing a new doctor.

I've made an offer to one collector, but in case the person isn't interested, I'll make the offer to anyone reading this.

I am offering most of my collection for sale. It will have to be all or nothing as I do not have the ability to handle all kinds of transactions right now.

If anyone is interested in purchasing it for a VERY discounted price, let me know and I'll have my daughter help me update my list and I'll post exactly what I have for sale and the price.

This will be first come, first served. In other words, if you think you're interested, let me know right away or it may be gone.

2005 Villages

Here are images of the 2 mini villages I displayed last Christmas. My collection has grown from 25 buildings to over 100 this year so I'm really looking forward to seeing how I can make it look this year! I've also added a few other pictures from last year. Our main Christmas tree that I decorated in red, white and silver. The mini tree in my office that I decorated in golds and pearls and of course our puppies - Dempsey and Fanny. This was their first Christmas with us.
















































































Lemax Village Collection

My obsession...

I have no idea how or why, but I've started a love affair with Lemax houses and I see no signs of it stopping. Anyone who knows me knows that this is not a look that I normally choose. I tend to be more colonial in my decor, but there's something about these little buildings that make me smile.

My husband and daughter really liked it during the holiday season and were sad to see me put it away in January. I hope to have it up a bit earlier this year.

I started my collection in the fall of 2005 and have gone crazy trying to gather all of the buildings I like. My display was very pitiful last year - but not horrible considering it was my first try and the space I used really limited my options. This year I have big plans. Don't know if they'll actually happen, but it's been fun dreaming all year.

I'm losing track of all of my village houses - here's a list of my collection as of July 2006. I've been busy shopping and forgot to keep track. Will add newest houses when I set up for the season.
