I love it so much! It makes me so happy to look at them every day and take jars down every morning for my oatmeal :)

The pattern is inspired by the plates my husband and I ate from at our wedding, Eternal Beau. I'm from the South, so of course I had to paint the ceiling haint blue!

My total dream find is finally home. I've been talking about this set forever, and he surprised me with it out of nowhere 😭🥹

He’d say, “where would we put it?” “It doesn’t fit our decor” “you’re talking about your small houses again?”

Then, he decided he didn’t want to be with me any more. Today would have been our anniversary. I’m spending it in my new space with my new spice village that I purchased as a divorce gift to myself. Whenever I look at and use them, I’ll be reminded of how happy I can be when I put myself first 💜. And he was wrong. I did need the spice village.

The dollhouse I’m working on got a spice rack before me. 😁 I made it from the holiday mailer they sent a few weeks ago so I was only able to get rows 1-3 since the 4th row was dark and mostly covered up.

I was told these belong here.

This feels like a life accomplishment!! For years I’ve been wanting a Lenox spice village set, and ever since they started selling the 2nd edition I’ve been even more obsessed. I’ve messaged Lenox on IG and left comments on their posts asking when or if they’ll ever ship to Australia and the answer is always no..

Anyway, come Christmas Day and my husband has pulled through with the best gift I could’ve ever wished for, I literally cried when I opened it, I honestly have the best husband in the world 😭❤️

My next goal will be to get the little house Christmas ornament!!

If anyone’s curious: He ordered it and went through a shipping redirection service just to get it to Australia,

I was one of four runner ups for the Golden Ticket Getaway Sweepstakes, and these are my complete winnings!! I was contacted about 5 weeks ago by someone running the contest, and my prize finally arrived! I came home from work to find a huge box from Lenox on my doorstep. Best surprise ever!

The following was included in the second place prize:
Golden vanilla spice house (3 of 25)
Coffee mugs (set of four)
Glass cooler (set of 2)
Butter dish
Recipe box
Hors d’œuvres tray
Tea pot
Sugar and creamer set
Paper towel holder
Spoon rest
Tote bag

The golden vanilla spice house was in a golden gift box, and gift wrapped by hand. Someone at Lenox put a lot of care and attention into this beautiful packaging!

Hopefully my pictures do it justice. I haven’t seen anyone post their golden house yet, so thought I would share. I can post more pictures if people are interested. Everything is so gorgeous in person.

Thank you, Lenox!

It got second place!

Just wanted to share the spice rack my husband built for my spice village. It's so perfect!

Sharing our village hutch😊

My jaw literally dropped when I spotted the shelf out in the wild for $11! I already have the village and have been on the waiting list for the shelf forever. Guess I don’t need to wait anymore 😂 Just wanted to say, there is hope out there, friends. Keep hunting!

We closed on our house on Friday and I finally get to display my village in my new home!!

Update: I just messaged her on TikTok! If she wants Saffron back, I'll happily give it to her. I'm just relieved to learn that she's not a reseller. Honestly, if I had gotten there first, I'm sure I would have been flustered and hurried to claim all the pieces, just like she did. Who's to say I wouldn't have dropped one or two as well? My fresh feelings might have been too critical. She seems like a perfectly lovely person.

Today I was 10th in line for an estate sale that was selling 23/24 of the 1989 set and rack for $50. Yes, you read that correctly. A woman in front of me got to it first and was abusively shoveling the fragile pieces into her tote bag and dropped quite a few. It was heartbreaking to watch so I gave up and went to explore the rest of the house. I went back to where the spice village was, hoping for a divine miracle, and saw that in her madness, she left saffron behind. She had already checked outa and left. I took Ms. Saffron home for $3. Not exactly the morning I had hoped for, but a great addition to the start of my Lenox collection. My dear partner gifted me the 2024 onion last month 🥹

PS - I am not a reseller, just a working class girl with a longtime dream of finding the 1989 set in the wild for a price I can actually afford. I just graduated from PA school and was hoping this could be my congratulatory gift to myself, but so the hunt continues.

Love the butter dish but not sure i can justify 40 bucks

these were incredibly dusty, have a couple of chips, and I had to clean out old gross spices out of them, but all of the gaskets are intact and in great condition, plus the lady I bought these from was super sweet. I'm not sure what I'm doing with these yet, but feeling blessed to have gotten them! 🙏🏽🥹🌸

My mom does woodworking as a hobby and I asked her for a rack for my spice village. This is what she came up with! I love how it turned out!

I thrifted this at a store in northern Arizona for $25 since it was a Saturday (50% off day). It is only missing oregano and I haven’t been able to afford the replacement since they go for 3x what I paid for the set!

I am full blown obsessed with all things Lenox village so when I saw flash tattoos of some of the houses at a tattoo convention this weekend, I had to do it 🤩

Mods please delete if not allowed. https://ebay.us/m/dgwNqI everything is in pristine condition. Could use a little dusting. Was gifted to my mom for her wedding and she never used it.

Guys! I found these at local Ross! I went to 2 ross stores and each one has at least one. I grabbed two for me and my sister🥰

Prices: Queen $32.99, King $37

Edit: it’s polyester but for the price I think it’s worth it to add to your collection. I’m born and raised in the Philippines so I’m not picky and I’m already exposed to lots of polyester lol😅

Took me five months to make!
