Christmas Decorations from Williamsburg

First class book. Having recently visited Williamsburg, we wanted something that related to this magnificent site. This book of decorations displays many great ideas for Christmas decorating all relating to the Williamsburg setting. Very well done.

Makes a Great Gift

Creative projects for homemade Christmas decorations make this book a great gift.. If you can part with it!

Perfect gift!

I bought this book for my neighbor and when it came I wanted to keep it! She had recently visited Williamsburg and came back with stories of how she loved the Christmas decorating and wanted to emulate things for her own home. I've never been to Williamsburg myself, but this book was beautiful! The pictures were professional (I've seen books where they were not) and there were instructions on how to make the decor yourself. Well worth it! I will probaly get one for myself for next season!

I love boxwood

Since I love boxwood growing in the yard and using the beautiful greens at Christmas, I found this book to be one of the most informative books I own about Christmas greens. The instructions on how to create many decorations for the inside and outside the home are very clear. The pictures are gorgeous. I have learned to make garlands, wreaths, centerpieces, swags, boxwood trees, and other lovely items. The book features many different types of greens to use for creating holiday decorations. I have taught many others how to make holiday decorations that are featured in this book.
