Here’s the paper village I made a few years back from the Martha Stewart Living December 2000 patterns. They’re made of watercolor paper. The little house in the middle has beaded “lights,” and the church has colored acetate windows. The other windows are glassine, and they all look really pretty when you put little lights under them.

And last but not least the hospital my husband built for the victims of the cholera epidemic. The next year, Christmas Village had a horrific train derailment. Luckily my new Halloween village kit comes with a graveyard.
