A Christmas Village Library

What you will find here and within the individual pages of this library are a treasure chest of inspirational articles and practical step by step village display and holiday decorating instructions that I enjoy sharing with my clients, friends, and anyone who is interested.  When you are passionate about something, it is much easier to write about it, so I have found.  What follows are my thoughts, designs, and recommendations as they pertain to individual Harvest and Christmas decorating and traditions for the home.

I would like to mention that you will not find any details nor instructions regarding the designs and displays of our commercial Harvest and Christmas decorating service for obvious reasons.  What you will find are techniques and ideas inspired by those same larger and more elaborate Villagescapes© created for our commercial clients.  I do hope you enjoy the results, as much as I enjoy the exhiliration from putting together a unique and enchanted Christmas village display

In addition to the articles you will find below, you can stay informed of any new articles and details regarding Village Fantasies by joining us on Facebook as well as Twitter.  Just follow the links shown to the left on this page.
