I love the details of a person's life - how they lived, what they wore, how did they cook, what did they cook. I should have been an anthropologist. I guess I'm an amateur one!
Jamestown is early 1600's. Williamsburg and Yorktown are 1770's.
I am so much like you! I think I passed that gene down to both of my daughters too because we all love stuff like that. (Maybe their reading the American Girl stories helped a bit too.)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite shots are the ones from Williamsburg. I'm just an old soul in a not so old body.
Oh, what treasures! I so thank you for sharing the tour!
ReplyDeleteNice to see these things that draw your eye. I especially like the delft tiles as i love anything Dutch and tiles such as this always remind me of the story of Heidi as there were tiles around the stove at the house down in the village, I think. I even collected some and arranged them as a back splash for my stove one time. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteI also tend to be drawn. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh that Delft tile! That silver tea set! The lovely dining table at the Peyton Randolph house! Swoon!
