The area is known for decorating with fruit (in outdoor wreaths and swags) at Christmastime. You can see some examples from Colonial Williamsburg here.
I have always dreamed of visiting that area during the holidays. Think of the photographs!
I love the Colonial Williamsburg "look" so much that I have a wooden plaque that hangs over the front door. It is a semi-circle that comes with nails pounded into it in a pattern. Every few years when I am inspired, I press apples, lemons and a pineapple onto the nails and hang this giant display over our front door. It looks gorgeous, although sometimes my guests get a drop of pineapple juice in their hair when they cross the threshold! Oops!
All of this keeps coming to mind because of this display in my kitchen. I have a multi-tier plastic tray (cream, grey and pink tiers!) that I found years ago at IKEA. When I unpacked my groceries the other day and noticed that the fruit looked very "Williamsburg Wreath" = can you see it?
