Christmas in My City

One of my favorite parts of dec­o­rat­ing for Christ­mas is putting my Christ­mas in the City vil­lage up. I haven’t been able to add many pieces to it the last year or so because we sim­ply don’t have any­more room for any more, but it’s still so much fun to look at every win­ter. I hope in our next house that I can have a bet­ter setup for it than we do now (on top of the piano!)

It makes me feel like I’m down­town enjoy­ing the hol­i­days when I look at the lit­tle peo­ple and scenes.

Ty con­tin­ued the tra­di­tion of break­ing one of your mommy’s vil­lage pieces that I started with my mom back when I was a kid. This was the first year I let him help me open up all the lit­tle boxes and take the peo­ple out. He dropped this one and broke it, but then of course 10 mins later, I dropped a dif­fer­ent one and broke it! Thank good­ness you can glue them back together!

This is of the St. Paul Cathe­dral where we live.

This is one of my faves, it’s sup­posed to be like Tav­ern on the Green in NYC.




This was my first vil­lage piece ever. I got it the year we got mar­ried (hence the wed­ding shoppe) and it has a lit­tle plaque with “Amy & Tony, April 27, 2002″ on the side of it. Makes me smile. :-)

    amy that is ADORABLE!!! makes me want to put mine up instead of procrastinating…the pics are great…is that with your super low F stop cam­era? If I were get­ting a lens…(wink wink) it would be a 18-200mm with the same fstop of 3.5…I hope I can still get a some­what blurred effect with it

    You should be fine with that lens, Cam­mie. I think any­thing under a f/5 will still give you a nice blurred back­ground. :-)
