Does anyone do a Lighthouse or Seaside Village? Using your Harbour Lights or other lighthouse figurines. I do a little seaside village in my front window. I change it for the seasons - I do a winter village, a halloween village and a summer village. We have a little pier, fishermen and other characters. It's a nice addition to the shelves of lighthouses and the other lighthouse goodies we have in our living room....

I was just wondering if I was the only nut that did this?

Be very careful sitting your Harbour Lights in a window as the sunlight will fade them... It doesn't take long for this to happen in direct sunlight...

Thanks for that very important tip!

That's good advice from Paul. I have seen a few dealers who display some of their HL's in their window. You can definitely see the paint differences than the ones displayed inside.

Roxie...I do a Seaside Village!

My "secondary" collection is Dept. 56, but I only collect the "New England Village" pieces. I've definitely given it a seaside theme, and I think it compliments my Harbour Lights.

The village gets decorated for summer, Halloween, winter & Christmas.

But do be careful of the sunlight...it's hard on everything.

I saw the results of this at a dealer in RI a couple of weeks ago and they were piece's I wanted. But I had to say no and walked away with the 7' Knoll that was set up and away from everything really great shape.

I don't collect HL's (execpt for LLOM's) as they are kind of expesive..however, I do do a light up Lemax village in the bow window in my living room during christmas...with 3 lighthouses!!! During the rest of the season, I put them in my basement with my G-scale trains. A little off scale, but they look good!!! :p
