The charming details, including the hand painted finish and delicate bluebird accents, create a unique warmth for any display.

Know before you buy
Yes, the cottage includes an integrated lighting system, which consists of the light bulb and the power cord required to plug it in.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture and direct sunlight can damage the hand-painted resin finish.
The Bluebird Cottage measures approximately 6.1 inches in height, 5.51 inches in width, and 5.98 inches in length. It is scaled to fit standard Dickens Village displays, but it is always a good idea to measure your available shelf space before purchasing.
The cottage is crafted from high-quality resin with hand-painted details. While it is durable, we recommend wrapping it in archival-quality tissue paper and storing it in a climate-controlled environment to preserve the paint and intricate accents over the years.
No assembly is required. The building arrives as a single piece, and you only need to insert the provided light bulb and plug the cord into a standard wall outlet to begin using it.
