Last week, I (Teri) spent the week in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. One of the highlights of the week was strolling down the brick sidewalks, enjoying the beautiful home decorations and wreaths. I thought you might like to see some of them, so I'd like to invite you to talk a walk down the street with me.
Everything used was natural: feathers, fruit, seashells, wheat, seed pods, nuts. Each home had a wreath, as well as the colonial establishments. Often, the wreaths reflected something about building it decorated.

The Apothecary worked here. Nested within the seashells are vials of botanicals used for healing. |

I loved this creative "pineapple"! |
|
As you can imagine, the milliner worked in this building. |
|
Ice skating, anyone? |
|
And a happy Hanukkah! |
|
I love my coffee, so I thought this one was a lot of fun! |
|
This one makes me hungry. |

At the barber and wigmaker's establishment, you'll see a comb tucked in the wreath, but don't miss the curls on either side. |
