Some of these pieces have since been retired... http://bit.ly/1TwOwOg
Click on the photo to see "The Carpenter" by Fontanini; the accessories were found pieces at tag sales and such; the twig "stable" was created by Howard Lamey of littleglitterhouses.com

I used to get a few Fontanini pieces every year at the Crompond Country Store when it was open.I miss that store alot. It was part of our Christmas tradition and it's not the time getting the pieces online.
