Rockwood Museum Holiday Open House This Weekend

Alert to garland, poinsettia, and great decoration lovers! Rockwood Museum in Wilmington, Delaware is having their annual Holiday Open House this weekend, from 6-9 December 3 and 4 and 1-4 December 5. See details on location at http://www2.nccde.org/rockwood/default.aspx

Since a friend and I did most of the floral arrangements, (but not the decorating of the museum) we are giving you a sneak preview of what you will see at Rockwood during the holidays. One of the items I really wanted to see displayed is the "plateau" on the dining room table. This silver-rimmed, mirrored surface piece comes in 3 parts and the table had to have an extra leaf put in the table to accomodate its large size It looks great with the silver champagne bucket containing a live poinsettia. We tried to do things a little differently, and another thing we did was to put 2 artificial doves in the parlor arrangements with poinsettias in matching Bohemian glass compotes on either side of the mirror on a pier table.  Fun, and very Victorian!  Come to the Rockwood Museum Holiday Open House or during regular hours during the holidays.
