In the Kingwood Attic

Kathy M and I have been working on a task of recording the Kingwood Magazines.  Carefully wrapped, labeled and stored in the attic dated as far back as 1923, time for the publications to be sold or removed.  Kathy and I took pictures and did a database spreadsheet.  Today was a meeting with Sandy, Chuck Gleaves and Bill Collins.  I think we are close to wrapping this project up!.

A rare treat to peak in the Kingwood Attic.  Most of the contents are Christmas.  Then comes old magazines and also the dried flowers to be used in workshops and flower arrangements.  So in a random order, some pictures of what we worked with.  Hopefully some of the older publication can be removed to get some of the weight off of the ceiling and provide extra dollars for Kingwood.

Christmas Traditions - Gingerbread House in Libary

by Mansfield Garden Club 

Michael L., an architect from Columbus, created a scale model of Kingwood Hall.  Gingerbread was baked with his wife's help and the Mansfield Garden Club decorated and assembled the house.  It is amazing to see, but becomes magical at night as a warm glow luminates from the windows.  If a gingerbread Kingwood Hall isn't enough for awe, the gingerbread men standing on hedge apples and a tree decorated entirely from handmade ornaments should be enough. 

The hair on the gingerbread men was formed by using a garlic press and the candy cane hearts are adorable.  My guy really liked how the packages under the tree were wrapped in brown paper with ribbon.
