Window shoppers also bring in the business. Hoffmann said he'll display limited-edition village homes and buildings in the fall. Those window displays let shoppers know what houses are in stock. The Crystal Tree also hosts an open house a couple of times a year and sends a direct-mailing list that tells about new items. They are figurines of various themes, including special occasion, family and friends, and Christmas.
Ornaments also are available.
The Byers' Choice Carolers are handmade and manufactured in Pennsylvania. There are men, women, boys and girls who look like they are singing carols. A set of carolers are a part of The Salvation Army series. David Frykman makes carved figurines of men and women who are hunting, golfing and fishing. Williraye Studio, in southern Wisconsin, makes snowmen, angels and cat figurines that are sold year-round.
