Does anyone know how it got to be Nov. 2 and almost time for Thanksgiving? If so, please let me know. ;)
But, though time is racing by, I'm really looking forward to the holidays and the chance to spend time with family and friends. Even on the Flower Blog, we celebrate fun times and renew traditions with colleagues and friends, so I am particularly pleased to welcome back Cindy Cragg, for her second year of guest writing. Cindy is the home stylist for WILLIAMSBURG®, www.williamsburgmarketplace.com, the lifestyle brand of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
Cindy will be contributing to the blog for the whole month of November and her unique perspective blends history, humor, insight and creative ideas. Be sure to read her every Monday to make your holidays the best ever. Thank you, Cindy!
The holidays are a special time of the year. A time when friends and families get together to celebrate traditions, give gifts and enjoy each other’s company. It is also a special time when Colonial Williamsburg and Teleflora join forces to bring you an arrangement that is not only beautiful to look at, but has historical significance and supports a cause that you can feel good about. Whether you purchase this arrangement to add the colors of the season to a breakfast nook in your own home or to thank a neighbor for all the times they brought in your paper while you were away, you’ll know that this Williamsburg-inspired arrangement is a gift that continues to give.
This fresh seasonal burst of color is arranged in a salt-glaze pitcher much like one that you might find in the historic area of Colonial Williamsburg. Imagine strolling down Duke of Gloucester Street and going in Greenhow Store. You would see wrought iron, willow baskets, fine imported porcelain, floorcloths, fabrics, cooper's items, tinware, craftsmen's tools, and other goods similar to those sold by Mr. Greenhow in the 18th century, like this salt-glaze pitcher.
So, in addition to the quality fresh bouquet that you know you can expect from Teleflora this arrangement has a little something extra. It has a story. A story of inspiration, vision, creativity and tradition—a story you are helping to keep alive in America’s hearts and homes. That’s because a portion of your purchase supports the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s award-winning educational programs, like electronic field trips, bringing the American experience to life for millions of young people every day!
