A Bit Colonial


TGIF my friends.
Right after Valentine's Day
I looked around our humble abode....
realized I could create 
a colonial display....
so create I did. 


With this tobacco.


Stone fruit.


Script jug and feathers.


Early top hat and newer light.


Also this small trunk which the hat
and light reside.
Perfect for a bit of colonial.


I also wanted to show you how
the orange pomanders look now.
[see above]


Remember back in January 
when I first showed them.
After 3 months they are still good,
just not a bright.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
Tomorrow it will be painting again
at our new store.

A Lil Bit of Colonial Blessings To All!

  2. What a great little Colonial gathering! Tobacco was definitely a huge crop in my home state of Virginia during colonial years. There are still remnants of curing barns on old farm landscapes.

  4. Such a sweet display Janice.... I love old top hats and I can just picture the gentleman in the portrait wearing it. I have some tobacco also, but had to hang it high. For some reason, I always have at least one kitty that can’t resist it. And oh...that stone fruit! You have an amazing collection. I packed mine away during WWR....and haven’t found it yet. So now all I have on display are the few pieces I bought after WWR. Grrrr..... Happy Friday! ~Robin~

    1. Yes When I added the hat, I wondered if my gentlemen in the photo wore one. Still waiting to hear more about WWR. Janice
