| These quaint little decorations, known as "putz houses" or "putzes", were found on tables, mantles and under Christmas trees in homes across America for many decades starting around the early 1900's. The houses I make are inspired by collectible and vintage pieces but are never exact copies. Details in my freelance designs also capture all the nostalgia and charm of the pieces from the past. I can make a copy of that vintage "putz" that went to someone else in an online-auction, a minature of your home, vacation home or business. You will not be disappointed with the craftmanship. |

The little snow village shown here is "Pine Mountain Valley". It is my 4-foot x 5-foot Christmas display layout built around the little houses I make. A small HO scale passenger train and a couple of streetcars run on simple ovals around and through the village. |
| It is named after the real "Pine Mountain Valley" which is 70-miles southwest of Atlanta, Georgia. As a child, I spent part of my summers in near by Woodland, Georgia. Drives through the Pine Mountain Valley and those happy days will never be forgotten. |
