KAMLOOPS — The house on the corner is, by comparison, unassuming. Two storeys, topped by a gabled roof, with a bay window in the front. A small placard hangs by the front door, announcing it as the home of "Tutbury Printer."
None of the pieces move, and none of the household activity is visible through the handpainted windows.
But in Karen Chayeski's village, Tutbury Printer holds a place of honour as the house that started it all.
Without the house, there would be no harbour scene in the fireplace, no Chrismas Carol tableau in the den, no guest book by the front door. And certainly not the largest display of all, which occupies the Chayeskis' own bay window from mid-November until the end of the Christmas season.
