I cannot wait for your new vids, so excited it every time! 😍 My mom and me are collecting for like a decade now and even if I’m familiar with some of the things you are explaining, I still really enjoy to watch and listen to your vids! 🥰 Please keep up the amazing work and content for us. For beginners and advanced collectors, I think both can enjoy your contents for us! Oh and you have to know, so far I was collecting only Lemax since I live in EU. But now I ordered my first Dept 56 and I blame you and your breath-taking collection! 🤣 😉😍

This would be WAY to frustrating for me. I'd rather bite the bullet and purchase the styrofoam in long huge sheets and cut my own pieces rather than try to piece styrofoam packaging together.......this is worse than tetris and I love tetris.

Hiding cords is always a challenge! I do trenches. But my platforms also go in the trash each year and I make new ones.

Loved part 2 as much as part 1. It’s kinda funny. I decided at the last minute to add one more building to my village (I know….big surprise) and I had a hole pre cut already for a light. I am under the table feeding this light cord and a bunch of the fine snow came with it and right in one of my eyes. Same as you it’s all good but man does that not feel good. Should have rocked the goggles. Oh well. Can’t wait for the next part.

You're the Houdini of cord camouflage! lol

Great techniques! Cords and wires can be a challenge. Thanks!

Small section of my Dickens Christmas Village 🧑‍🎄🎄

What do you use to get a flat white surface on top of your Styrofoam. Thank you

I do the same thing you do. It's easy to hide what's left like you do. I've also made gravel stone walkways and put them over the cords. Whatever works.😉😊

One of the greatest aspects of your channel is that you do not assume everyone has the "tools" to dig trenches and bore holes when villaging. This usually comes with experience. You show how someone can put up a Fabulous village with some basic knowledge, making it much more enjoyable and attainable for a beginner. Thank you for sharing what everyone can understand.

Thanks for the tips!🎄🎄

Can't wait to see the final water scene! And the rest of your village! ❤

Great tips!!! Proper planning prevents a lot of headaches!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

the sea captain and his friends is from the new england village. I have it and it is so cute. I have the Holly and the Ivy too. Great finds. I need to go to goodwill.

What a gorgeous collection you have!! Can I ask where did you get the tall very realistic trees (the ones that are not pines)?

I love your process! And you have a great stash of styrofoam!

❤

I like how your videos are so real. Setting up a village is fun but it can be frustrating too.

It coming together. Glad you are ok! As far as dock, I would get my big ruler and make lines all the way across. Thats what I did with my 8 feet of brick! When I work on my platforms, I put on other tutorials or random shows as a distraction.

I love The Little Mermaid 🧜

Magical INDEED! Glad your eye is okay

OMG! I just love your creative process. You can get so much accomplished when you converse with yourself! Can't wait to see what comes next

It's coming together brilliantly! Hope your eye feels better soon! You took one for the team...lol

Great video!!!! The village is really coming together!!! Your hard work and planning is paying off!!!

❤love this new series! Great goggles!

❤❤

Getting in the Christmas spirt!

Great, great video with Burl Ives singing!!! Christmas is almost here!!!

This really gets you in the Christmas spirit!!!! Well done!!!!

I finally had a chance to sit down & watch this and omg I ❤ it so much! Loved every single bit and I love being part of a community of women that talk to ourselves! I am my only employee so if I don't talk to myself, it would be a very boring work environment 😂 I almost watched this in the kitchen while I was decorating cookies and I'm really glad I didn't bc of the number of times I busted out laughing I for sure would have messed up LOL Also, LOVE your shirt!

A few buildings in my Dickens Display - mountains section 🎄

There goes those creative brain planets colliding again! I have to say, even with the insanity, I’m getting your vision. Does that label me insane, too? Love the completed parts of your village! Next!

Omg Kelly! You sound just like me when i am in my creative, thinking and singing mode- I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your thought process!! This video was very helpful knowing i am not alone!!! Cant wait for the finished product!!

I love the irony of the snowy Christmas village with the sun drenched green palms through the window. So good and love the display!

Love this! The one with the lady on the horse is wilkenson saddlery and the other is baylys blacksmith. I have both and love them. Your village is so pretty already!

Gracias por el tutorial Y Feliz Navidad. Un saludo desde A Coruña(España).

Hi Kelley, great video! I love that half way through it you threw away the styrofoam and started all over again. Sometimes its the only way! I learned to stop trying to make something work that is simply not working lol. Great to see you in the moment, no planning, just building as you go. And talking out loud and answering yourself when creating is really the only way LOL, I do it all the time! Also just a suggestion, maybe you can add kinetic sand in the water scene area. You can get it in your favorite craft store or the famous company that starts with letter a and ends with n lol, it keeps taking down my comment bec i mention the names of the stores, smh, the kinetic sand is easy to work with and it looks great, you can stick the sand under the front of buildings & into the water. And yes paint area for water would look good. By the way I love your flying squirrel, too funny

lol...loved it! It kinda looks like my creation process😆

OMG Kelley, you are hilarious. Good on you for filming this process. I was watching you and thought….yup, I talk to myself about the whole process. lol. I always think if my husband came home early and heard me talking to myself, he would really consider maybe getting me committed.

Enjoyed the video very much!!! Thanks for including us in your set up planning process!!! Interesting to see all the challenges and hard work that goes into producing the final beautiful village set up!!!!

LOOOOOOVE IT!!

This will be a great addition to your village!❤❤❤

Great finds!

How fun! You definitely found some treasures!

Wow, love your new finds. ♥️

Hey Kelley, it's your spooky friend!!!! You got quite a deal on those. I LOVE ANTIQUE MALL FINDS! Go all the time. I collect waay too many things both Halloween (OF COURSE MY FAVORITE) and alot of country primitive stuff. But what you found is awesome !!!!!!!!😊😊😊

Love your videos and your passion for this hobby!

Looks like you hit the jackpot!!!! Congratulations on your purchases - what great pieces to add to your collection!!!!

I love early North Pole. I find they mix very well with my Alpine Village houses. I love that Elfin Forge! I was tempted to buy it but it’s a larger house and I’m out of room lol. I loved seeing you display it for us. Such an amazing Dept 56 creation.

If this antique mall shop had two of the same piece, I can only imagine how much inventory they have. What a goldmine and you get to buy all these houses and accessories for reasonable prices without having to wait days and pay for shipping. Lucky you!
