Curt & I took a Saturday afternoon and had a little adventure up in Colonial Williamsburg. We were focused on a dinner date, but I made him go up a few hours early so we could wander around and get some photos. Well, we were lucky to have a nicely overcast day (with good natural light) and the village was decked out for the holidays with all sorts of natural decor. I heard one of the villagers, aka a person in colonial garb, talking about the decorations and, apparently, the homes in the historic section can only be adorned with materials that would have been available in the 18th century. As we were walking I joked about coming up with a blog post about this and Curt chimed in with "wreathtastic" as a descriptor...we laughed and laughed and now here it is! Enjoy!
Chowning's Tavern
A little more detail at Chowning's...love those little "ales"
A few close-up shots...love the dried floral & fruit details
And, finally, while we waited for dinner, a little shot of us. :)
Jen, the wreaths are fantastic! I would love to visit this place sometime. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove those oranges. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJust randomly looking at blogs, and your pictures caught my eye- wow that looks so nice:)
ReplyDeleteI just saw this and had to say these pictures rock! I'm glad I'm not the only one enamored with these wreaths. http://husseyclan.blogspot.com/2011/12/williamsburg.html
ReplyDeleteBTW I met you at the ArtBliss reception; I was the hugely pregnant gal enamored with your torch-fired-enamel necklace.
