Hot chocolate and cookies kept all 17 of us warm during today's workshop, Honoring History at the Crane House.
After a slide presentation on the history of Christmas decorating trends and traditions (you can watch it here!), the museum staff took us on a comprehensive tour of the house, explaining how the information from the slide show applies to each room or area.
New purchases have been made by the museum to help us get the historic aspects correct: an authentic goose feather Christmas tree for the formal dining room; period foil decorations and textiles for the YWCA boarders' dining room; even an aluminum tree for the club room.
Please sign up soon to help with decorating:
