Antique Christmas at The Taft Museum of Art



This past Monday was the set-up
day for the annual Antique Christmas display
This year, eleven collectors
loaned parts of their collections for the display.
I contributed two displays this year,
a small tree with American made
ornaments from World War Two as well
as an English dollhouse and early spun cotton ornaments.
Here's a sneak peek at a few of the displays,
I had to leave early so I was unable
to get photos of everything that day.

OK Loved all the Christmas pictures. (Frankly the Christmas decorations out at Halloween don't bother me a bit.)

Love the new banner and exactly how do they hold a hammer? Cheers, C
