These eight ornaments are the original discontinued #1 through #8 releases.Each ornament is designed as a detailed miniature building, progressing from the Victorian home that launched the series into shops and community buildings that began forming Hallmark's long-running Christmas village. The architectural details, storefronts, snow-covered roofs, holiday decorations, windows, signs, and tiny dimensional features are what made this one of Hallmark's enduring collector series.These are pre-owned vintage ornaments and show light age and storage wear consistent with pieces dating from 1984–1991.
