🎉 One Week In: A D-Light-ful Relaunch!

It’s been one week since we officially relaunched Village D-Lights — and what an incredible week it’s been!

First, I want to thank each and every one of you who subscribed, renewed, reached out, or simply cheered us on. Your enthusiasm, encouragement, and loyalty to this community have been both humbling and energizing.

In just our first full week:

✅ We saw a surge in new subscriptions — including international readers!

✅ Our social media engagement is up, with hundreds of likes, comments, and shares across platforms.

✅ The newly mailed issue is landing in mailboxes across the country — and the feedback has been fantastic!

✅ Our inbox has been buzzing with support, content ideas, and questions — and we love hearing from you.

✅ We’ve welcomed back longtime contributors and added exciting new voices (stay tuned for more on that soon!).

And I have to take a moment to recognize the incredible Village D-Lights team. As someone who’s new to the magazine, I’ve had a lot of questions — and this team has shown up for me every step of the way. They've been patient, generous with their knowledge, and always willing to help. I truly couldn’t do it without them.

And if that weren’t exciting enough… today is 5/6 Day — a special celebration for Department 56 collectors everywhere! We’re anxiously awaiting today’s announcements and the reveal of what’s sure to be a must-have exclusive. 🏡✨

As we move forward, be sure to log in to your online account to check your subscription details. It’s the easiest way to confirm how many issues you have remaining, update your info, and make sure you don’t miss out on anything. If you haven’t already, now’s the perfect time to subscribe or renew through the online portal.

It’s been a whirlwind — and it’s only the beginning. Our summer issue is already underway, and we’re working hard to make each edition better than the last. If you haven’t subscribed yet (or need to renew), now’s the perfect time to jump back in and stay connected.

From our D-Light-ful Village to Yours,

Benjamin
