Department 56 Big Ben/Parliament

[Thrift Shop Romantic]

Well, I'm all excited. I came back from the Goodwill today with a Department 56 Christmas village piece of Big Ben and Parliament. It plugs in, lights up, etc. And I got it for $6. These things are quite expensive.

Being a bit of an Anglophile, and having a livingroom that reflects that, I can see this as being a really nice addition to my Christmas decorating in about half a year away.

Woo-hoo! Go, go Goodwill!

E-mail me you home address. I have a piggy bank for you.

SeSo, off singing:

"England Swings like a Pendelum do,
 Bobbies on bicycles, two by two,
Westminster Abby, the Tower, Big Ben
The Rosy Red cheeks of the little children..."

SeSo- well, you can see what it looks like anyway here--

I got all jazzed and posted some of my British-oriented thrift finds.

Bud-- that sounds ominous.

What a fabulous find!! They retail for around $85. I collect Dept. 56 Snow Villages and found a piece at my local GW for $12 and thought it was a good deal! Way to go!
