Colonial Holiday Tradition-Trip to the 18th Century

Ha family all took this new year's eve and went to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. This time, the weather was really mild but crispy winter with lots of sun shine. We were blessed! Three Ha children and grandma and my cousin, Dennis and I all very excited with this trip because we could still enjoy the Christmas decoration!

Here're some pictures we took on our trip to share with you. What a wonderful display of colorful winter nature!

Governor's mansion was decorated with pine garland and wreath through the whole building just like my shop window.

This is such a cute wreath decorated with cookie cutters and wooden spoons.

Guess what business this window decoration was for! It's for a tavern, of course! They use dried yarrows in tin mug as beer form and wooden pipe with cotton as smoking pipes. How cute!

You could call this Casino wreath, maybe.

Any more traditional hospitality wreath with abundance of fruits especially the pineapples and oranges.

This was one of the award winning door decor, using cottons to make hen sitting on her eggs. Brilliant!

Antique sleigh with wooden toys are well lined up with just simple pines and magnolia background.

And here we are. A happy family.

Happy new year to you all!
