Dept 56 Displays - Dickens, New England

Do You Want to Make Beautiful and Memorable Dept 56 Displays?

If you love displaying your Dept 56 houses but are having trouble making new displays, or perhaps you simply are "display challenged" and can't come up with any new or original ideas, then you need to visit the following sites.

Elizabeth Dinger has written two guides to displaying your collectible Dept 56 houses.

One is focused on the specifics of making your displays. It includes ideas and tips on everything from setting up to tearing down. Everything she could possibly think of went into this guide. Even though most of her houses are Dickens (and New England) the ideas discussed can be applied to any of the Dept 56 series of houses.



The second site is called "Displays By Number". It offers a guide containing 20 different detailed Dept 56 display set ups. It tells you exactly "where to place what" in each of the displays. The displays vary from table top to full 4 foot by 8 foot displays.



Simply put everything you need to know to make beautiful and memorable displays can be found in these two guides.

Please visit each site and sign up to get free tips and display ideas which will give you an idea of what you get in each guide.

Five joys of displaying Dept 56 houses and Accessories

Dept 56 Collections are Simply Beautiful and Interesting to Show

The Dept 56 collection of houses and accessories, whether they be Dickens, New England, Christmas In The City, or other, are beautiful, intrique pieces. The designers and artists certainly don't miss a thing in their designs.

It is because of these beautiful pieces that make displaying Dept 56 houses so special and fun.

You simply can't go wrong making these displays.


Dept 56 Collections are an Investment

It's commonly known that you usually "get what you pay for."

Collecting Dept 56 pieces is an investment that easily adds up, and if you are like most of us, you want to show them off.

Dept 56 Collections Allow Us to Show Off Our Creativity

Making arrangements of any kind is an exercise in creativity, but combining artistic expression with 'city planning' is always enjoyable. After all, no one wants a boring display. It is fun to make displays which range from the simple to the complex, from the serious to the whimsical, the varieties are endless.

Dept 56 Collections Allow you to Express your Imagination

Making Dept 56 displays allow us to bring our imaginations to life. For instance, what would you have been doing if you could have lived back in the wintery times of Dickens? Which shops would you have liked to visit (or own)? Where would you have liked to live?

Your collections allow you to display some of your dreams and desires.


Dept 56 Collections can Create many Wonderful Memories and Traditions

How invaluable are your family traditions? We all have them and enjoy them, and for many of us, our Dept 56 displays are a big part of the yearly memories and traditions. Year after year we bring them out and set them up for our family and friends to admire and enjoy, and, before you know it, we have created that tradition which will last for many many years.
