ARTICLES

The following articles appeared in the CREATIVE VILLAGE DISPLAY MAGAZINE, a Canadian publication dedicated to articles on village display techniques. The Owners of the magazine are Bob and Karen Durham. They can be found at most every Department 56 Gathering looking over the displays, searching for new materal for their readers. They also are avid displayers, (she better then he), they can be contacted for more information at their place of business in Canada by sending them an email.. It has more information and less individual ads selling houses. Make sure and include your email address in the body of your email to that they can contact you.

The first article is on a display using Rosita's Canina and the event piece of the 1998 California Gold Gathering, of which my wife was chair.
