This Christmas Village is made out of wood. Each building lights up on the inside. These were purchased at Lowe's after-Christmas sale in Gadsden, Alabama 10 years ago and retailed for over $400. ...no wonder they were leftover!
I've never seen any like them since.
These are my DH's favorite things & he sets them up every year. They are in the breakfast nook bay window.

Taking a closer look...every village needs a "Fix-it Shop"
**
*
And a Bakery
**
*
And here's The Kringle's Cottage...inside are the cutest things in each of the buildings...
**
*
Of course there has to be the North Pole Emporium for shoppers...
**
*
Can you believe they have a Garden Shoppe...have to buy those wreaths somewhere....
**
*
No village would be complete without a church!

We have a porcelain village as well, but seldom display it since we bought this one. All of the buildings are about a foot tall...as you can see the smoke from the chimneys are coiled copper .
♥♥Thanks for checking out my DH's village ♥♥

I like Mr Bo's village, it looks lovely during the day but stunning at night all lit up!, Kathy.
I love it Bo! I use to have a village but I gave it away and I haven't been able to find ones that I like since. But tell DH that if he ever needs someone to take them off his hand, I'm here! LOL!!! Deb
Beautiful village, Bo ... I've been looking for something to put on my sideboard and you have inspired me to start a village collection of my own that we can add to each year.
Thank you for sharing yours ...
Sincerely,
Janie
Bo this is truly beautiful and how fun! Hugs French;)
Bo your village is wonderful! I love how and where you have it set up. I've never seen anything like it. Now, I'll have to keep an eye out. Perhaps I'll find a piece or two, here and there.
Bo, that village is beautiful. and to have a space like that to place it is awesome. That is a decorating dream. That is so sweet your hubby loves that.
Love ya,
Chris
That is a cute village and with so much detail. I wouldn't have passed it up either. It looks so cute in your window there. ~ Robyn

Good Morning, Bo, These are precious! They look so pretty in the dark, with the Christmas lights! Your husband got a great deal on them! ~hugs, Rhonda :)
I love your Christmas village Bo! Each house is so cute & unique!
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Carol
Adorable! You have the perfect spot for them.
Bo I want to go shopping in each one of these villages. Don't you just love to find after christmas sales like this one. I always tell my husband when I find stuff like this that it was waiting for me to come by and purchase. LOL
Blossom
It's all so pretty!
I've always loved the glow coming from them.
Your "village" is adorable!..Love the smoke coming out of the chimney. How sweet that your dh put that up. Cindy
What a perfectly delightful display. I've always loved snow villages, and this is the cutest I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
SO CHARMING AND I LOVE THE WAY YOU PUT IT ON THE BAY WINDOW SEAT..ANN
Those are so pretty Bo. I didn't know there were any that are made of wood!
I really like how you have them displayed.
Diane
I want a village soooo bad! I am waiting until my kids are done "helping" me so much before I do it! tick tock tick tock...that's my clock counting down!
your village is beautiful by the way! lol
it's adorable, i luv Christmas villages! Michele
Dh's village is wonderful. I think it's great that he was so inspired to buy it and then put it up.. Makes it even more special... makes me think I haven't gotten our village out in years...ummm guess there's next year now...thanks so much for sharing..
hugs ~lynne~
How neat Bo! Well now they really are collectable if they aren't selling them anymore, take care of them and you can pass them down!
Buffie :)
Can't believe we posted villages on the same day. Yours is so unique and pretty. When I look at pictures of your village, I can see that "less really is best". They all show up so pretty. My village is over populated, so tell your husband to quit sulking, because I love your village. laurie
Awwwww that is a delightful Christmas village! LOVE it!
Bo, I can sure see why this would be your husband's favorite. It is lovely and very unique. I have not seen one like it ever before. Something very special indeed.
Merry CHRISTmas!
Blessings,
Sher
These are wonderful! I've never seen any like them either. And, they are displayed beautifully.
That is the best Christmas village ever!! I love the size and all the little details. I can see why the hubby loves it so much!
Bo, they are so sweet! I loved seeing these. I also like your "snow" as it looks so real in the picks. Very, very cute!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Bo...I came by to lookat your village again. I don't think I've seen one just like it. So charming!...Debbie
Hey there Sweet Bo!!!! I have missed you so!!! (I made a rhyme. LOL) I love your DH's cristmas village! It looks so beautiful when the lights are dim and its lit!!! Talk to you soon!
xoxoxoxo

Bo this is a lovely village. I love seeing the detail of all the shops--they're beautiful all lit up. How fun that it's your husband's favorite too. What a great find all those years ago.
Tell "daddy" he did good! I especially like the lighted snow that goes along w/ it! What a find! You know, Lowe's has already clearanced out their Christmas decor at 50% OFF.
These are too cute! I love Christmas villages. We have a few houses from the A Christmas Story but it's not complete yet.
Your bay window is the perfect display for these! Tell your husband he did a great job!
Bo - I love the Christmas village. You really did get a bargain all those years ago. It makes a lovely display. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Sweetie
You know Bo! They say, it always takes a village.... These are really unique in wood. They remind of the papier mache or cardboard ones that used to come from Japan in the 40's. Some of those has a place for a bulb as well. Thanks for showing the night effect as it is really romantic. Have a great day!
Lisa & Alfie
Love your DH's Village!! It's gorgeous!!!
I guess you reckoned I'm back on-line now, right? LOL!!!
Are those really wood?! Wow! I've never seen something like that in the US... so beautiful!
Don't think I could pull out porcelain ones with those beauties around either.
Katie
Love your village.Especially with all that snow.
Deb
Bo your village is adorable!! I can't say I've seena another like it either! I love the coiled copper chimney smoke! Your hubby sure did good! *winks* Vanna
Hello Bo, we have had a full day and now I am trying to write a few comments before going to bed. We are at my son's home in Raleigh. It is cold here tonight.
The village is so wonderful. I would love to see it in person. I can only imagine the work that went into each building. Your dh does a fabulous job putting it on display. Each piece has it's own charm. Thank you for sharing this beautiful work of art.
Christmas love...Jeanne
Loved the tour of your village! I love Gasden! I have been there many,many times.
I have always like the Christmas Villages....I have only one little house I bought years ago and for the life of me I have no idea where it is....I bought it so many years ago thinking I would add to it one day.....if I ever find it again maybe I will add one little house....Have a wonderful night...
Hugs,
Mo :-)
Love the whole village. It's great. I think I like the bakery best.
BO those have to me the best villages I have seen it girl!! wow all the detail and in wood..I can see why they cost so much..did't use a mold on these..I just love them thanks for showing your woodren village..just great..hugs and smiles Gloria
Bo..good morning my friend. I'm glad you made it by. The snowmen have definetly taken over our home..sadly they start coming down the day after Christmas. Each time I come for a visit I'm reminded I don't have my Village out..oh boo hoo... have a super Saturday..
hugs ~lynne~
What a truly lovely village ,and so beautifully displayed! Thank you for sending me the link about cats and gift wrapping. I have forwarded it on to some fellow cat-lovers, and we all agree it is absolutely true! Have a blessed weekend!
So, so cute, MissBo.....and tell Mr. Bo he does a good job!
Suzanne
Your village is beautiful...I've never seen one built of wood and so tall! What a wonderful after-Christmas acquisition to enjoy for years to come.
I've interrupted my Christmas decorating because I am currently a refugee from the power outage caused by a big ice storm here in Massachusetts. I woke up Friday to no heat, no light, actually no electricity. So also no internet, no home telephone and sheets of ice over everything on my deck outside. Trees were snapped and hanging across my smashed side fence, across the front lawn. Thankfully none struck the house. I and my 90-year-old mother are now 50 miles south with my sister and her family. I hope to return on Monday as that's when the electric company's web site estimates the power will be back on.
Carrie
Your VILLAGE is so wonderful! I just love it!
Merry Christmas!
Hello sweet Bo!
I have passed the Christmas Spirit on to you when you have a chance come check it out.
I love your village collection. I didn't take mine out this year, since I just moved in my new house three weeks ago--just not enough hours in the day:)
Wow! Those are really special and I especially like the night shots. I'm sure your home looks like a winter wonderland.
I think we're having winter. It's only going to be in the high 60's today. Ha! Not complaining, you understand.
Hi Bo, Girl I love the whimsical look of this village, it is so different from any I have ever seen! I love them all! Nancy
GM BO, thanks for coming by my PINK Saturday girl..I don't think I could ever run out of showing pink things I have so many of them..now if they did a RED Friday or what ever I would be hurnting for stuff to show...hope you have a great day...hugs and smiles Gloria
Hi, Bo, what a cute little village! I see you have been busily getting ready for Christmas and my you've got a lot of people coming by to see you. What a great job you've done with it all. I know you've made a lot of friends since you came out & started blogging & that is great. I remember back when you were signing into my blog with Brown Eyes & look at you now!
Oh I loved your tour of villages (or your DH's) That's so sweet. I love the church and of course the garden shop. Very nice. You were lucky to find it!
Good morning sweet lady.You've been tagged.Come by please and get the info.But....it's Christmas and everybodys is so busy.If you want to wait until after Christmas,feel free.ok.....Ann
WOW - those were great!! Your hubs did good. My DH's idea of help is to get the stuff out of the attic and put the tree together for me!! To be honest, that is all I really "allow" him to do!! LOL - he tried when we first got married, but I'm such a perfectionist, I end up going behind him and re-arranging everything!!
Your village looks great!!
Enjoy your season ~
Hi Bo, What a cute villiage! Your hubby did a great job setting it up. It looks like it is very well made. Thanks for stopping by to congratulate Miss Janice! Kristen
Hi Bo...
I don't know if my comment posted, if you have to approve it...cuz, Blogger is acting up!!
Jan
I guess it didn't...LOL!!
I said...thanks for the visit today!!!
*Running to get things done* and *Waving*
Hi Bo, hope you've had a good Monday. Wouldn't it be fun for a whole bunch of blog ladies to go to high tea together?
Hello Bo, we arrived home late last night and then I had to take pics and post them. Lol. I was worn out and didn't get posted until this AM. I have learned some new tricks, come and see.
I loved looking at your village again. It is just wonderful.
Christmas love...Jeanne
Hi Bo! Your little village is just adorable. I don't think I've seen one like this before!
Oh, thanks for the kind wishes. I'll be so glad when everything is done. It never ends does it! ;P
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Mr. Dh's village is fabulous!!! What a GREAT way to display it!
Bo, this village is one of the prettiest I've ever seen. I especially love the church, so colorful and beautiful. Really enjoyed seeing this, thanks for sharing. Kathy
Those are so cute. I love the copper smoke! I can see why your husband enjoys them.
Hello my friend, just stopping by to say hi and have a wonderful week, hugs, Kathy.
Love Mr. Bo's village, Bo. I saw it in a previous post and I wondered about it then. It is so fanciful in design -- they look sort of like a childen's book illustration.
Thanks for your congratulations and good wishes on the birth of my grandson! We are so thankful for him.
HUgs, Pat
Oh, I love your village! I started one years ago, but have no idea what happened to the big box they were packed in. Guess I need to just give up looking & start another one! ☺♥☺ Diane
ahhhh...i LOVE these little villages...i don't have one but daughter, Stacy, is building one, peice by peice...
Just beautiful!
love, bj
