Organize & Cherish with The Organized Flamingo

143: Fix It or Free It: Mending My Broken Holiday Village


Listen Later

In this episode, we continue our yearlong Fix It or Free It challenge with September’s focus: broken holiday pieces. As fall decorations came out, we were reminded of our cherished Department 56 Halloween village that had been stored away with cracks and chips. Instead of letting them sit for another year, we finally took action with ceramic glue and repaired the pieces. This month’s challenge isn’t just about fixing porcelain, it’s about aligning our actions with our intentions, and the joy that comes from restoring what truly matters.


In This Episode We Talk About
  • The journey of the 2025 Fix It or Free It challenge so far
  • Why certain collections, like holiday villages, are worth the time and care
  • The life lessons that come from repairing items instead of replacing them


Mentioned in This Episode
  • The Fix It or Free It challenge and monthly progress updates
  • Department 56 holiday villages and their significance
  • The importance of modeling patience and care when fixing items
