Dept. 56 Mantel

I don't have a mantel, but I decorate the entertainment center each year with my Department 56 houses.  I have many more than there is room for so I just use my favorites.  I really had a hard time getting good pictures.  The day was dark and gloomy and the night pictures were blurred.  But you can get an idea of what it looks like.

Here's a full length view of the entertainment center.

A close up view.

The lights look so pretty at night but the pictures didn't turn out good at all.

I do like the one of the Old North Church.  I wish the rest of them had turned out this good.

The house on the left below was given to me by a friend and that's what started the collection.

The Chatham Inn below is not a Dept. 56 house.  I think it's a Lenox, But it is one of my favorites because it brings back memories of the Daniel Webster Inn where I had lunch once while visiting Cape Code.  There was also a Chatham, MA that I visited and a lighthouse.  Somewhere in my photos archives I have a picture of the lighthouse.

 

I see I didn't get the cord hidden on this one.  You can't see it while standing on the floor but I was standing on a stool when I took the picture.

Two more for you.  I like the tall skinny ones.

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas mantel entertainment center.
