I'm trying to find any information on an item I purchased at a garage sale. Hawthorne Village Bakery 2009 Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer - I can't find any information of it anywhere on the net and I thought perhaps your community members could help me.

These are still being made as part of a series that was commissioned by Collectibles Today, now Bradford Exchange.

Bradford Exchange sells them one piece at a time - you subscribe, like a magazine, and they send you and charge you for one piece about every four weeks. You can stop at any time, and you can send back any individual piece you don't want for a full refund.

The Rudolph village collection has been one of their most popular. I don't know where in the series the Bakery came in, though. If you decided to subscribe, and you got a Bakery, you could send it back.

There is a link to that collection on this page:

Hope this helps. Have a great holiday season - Paul

TY so much for the information! I actually bought it at a garage sale a few years ago - but now with the kids gone - I was weeding out as we don't decorate much anymore and wanted to sell it on Ebay, which I did.

You have a nice weekend and hopefully the weather will co-operate!
