Collectors of Dept. 56 Miniature Houses may be familiar with some of the pieces handcrafted by C&E Handcrafted Miniatures. During the 1990s, Charlie designed and built a small wagon for a friend.  It was noticed by a Department 56 collector who asked him to make a few pieces for his village display. As a result, Charlie began making event pieces for  “Mid-Atlantic Village Gatherings,” “The Texas Round-up,” stores and individuals. Wagons, water towers, outhouses and more were designed by Charlie and assembled by him and his wife, Emma. These pieces were sold throughout the U.S., Canada and Hawaii.
