About Us

You may know me as NPVillager in the Dept56 egroup at yahoo.com. If you're not a member and you collect D56, you need to check it out -- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dept56.

You may also know me from my personal website -- http://home.earthlink.net./~bcowin. This is dedicated to things "North Pole." When you visit this site, please be aware that I haven't seriously updated it in a few years. The company that hosted most of my larger photos has gone out of business and I'm just now beginning to find the original files and place them on a new host.

I've been a active ebay seller (not enough) and buyer (way too much) under the name bcowin, Feel free to check out my feedback there.

The products listed on this site are mainly duplicates bought when I had to purchase a large lot of 'something' in order to get one or two items I really wanted or extras bought in those senior moments when I was sure I didn't already have the whatever. Some things are gifts from well-meaning non-villagers who don't understand that all villages are not alike. Quite a few items, though, are things I really meant to buy but my collections have outgrown my house. And it's not fun paying the bill on the storage bin every month.
