Nifty All-Natural Ideas,
By soetken@dining.umd.edu (Greenbelt, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Entertaining Ideas from Williamsburg (Hardcover)
This book is filled with many interesting things to do with flowers. Has lots of pictures and how-to illustrations that make most crafts accessable, but not for beginning crafters. Some interesting recipes and lots of good holiday ideas.

A Different Kind of Williamsburg,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Entertaining Ideas from Williamsburg (Hardcover)
I was initially drawn to this book by the front cover with its brilliantly colored fruit and flowers in an epergne similar to one I own. However, I was quite disappointed. The cover and title led me to believe there would be a much richer content, like the reputation and feel of the historic city. Instead I found more of a 4th grade "arts & crafts" theme. (C'mon, really.....dough ornaments, orange clove pomanders, gingerbread houses???) Many of the photos reminded me of an outdated late 1980s/early 1990s decorating style. (Ronald Reagan and Wham! called....they want their era back!) This book was a genuine disappointment. I would love to read one with more "grown up" entertaining and decorating ideas that seamlessly meld the Williamsburg of old with this century's take on freshening up the look.

This is a lovely book that shows how houses were decorated when our country was first started.
It discribes how to make certain decorations and it also gives some wonderful recipes. I really like it.
