I just thought I was finished. Lucy's Chocolate Shop arrived in the mail the other day and has joined the other lighted houses in my tiny Christmas village. As you may have read in THIS POST, I only buy pieces that "speak" to me. This piece definitely spoke to me, since Lucy is the name of my 10-month-old granddaughter.
The Chocolate Shop fits in perfectly with Walker's Department Store, Claire's Card Shop, Newport School, the Camden General Store and the Beaumont Inn.
Here's a view from another angle.
I thought the Chocolate Shop would be the only addition to my village this year, but shortly after I uploaded my previous post I received an email from my friend Becky. It contained a link to a website with the instructions to check it out. And there I found what no self-respecting Arkansas Razorback fan could possibly be without—The Hog Penny Pub. Of course, I just had to have it.
So the next time you're in the area, stop by Lucy's Chocolate Shop for a free sample, and then head over to the Hog Penny Pub for a Hog Burger and beer. It's conveniently located next door to the Beaumont Inn.
You might also want to visit Laurie, who's sharing more of her wonderful Christmas collections. It's a sight to behold.

Oh those two village pieces are wonderful! I am in love with that Chocolate shop.
However - - - I refuse to even LOOK at any more ideas of houses for my own village - - - I can barely fit them all in now!!!
I did a village post on my blog today too! Great minds truly do think alike!
Your village is wonderful and you rnew pieces are just gorgeous. Love them. Isn't it such fun to set them up and look at the wonder of yesterday. Hugs, Marty
I can sure see why it spoke to you. It's adorable! And all this talk of chocolate is making me hungry! *winks* Vanna
Mother made me a beautiful porcelain Christmas Village. I couldn't bring myself to get it out this year (we will be sitting at Brennan's on the 1st anniversary of her death--which will be fitting, if there was a party, she'd find it!--and it's a little fresh. Maybe next year....
Yours is beautiful.
I love your village...complete with Hog Penny Pub!!!!
Are you going to the Sugar Bowl?
What a nice village. They are so fun to decorate with.

Oh Kathy, what perfect pieces you found! Yep! You had to have The Hog Pub! Now, you'll just have to talk one of the village makers into pieces with other family member's names on them! This is such a clever way to limit your collection of village pieces and only have pieces that mean something to you. Thank you for linking to Favorite Things. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas. Be careful in your travels. laurie
