Anyone who knows me even a little bit, knows I am a little nuts when it comes to the Holidays. Our Christmas Tree has been up for S-E-V-E-R-A-L weeks at this point, and Christmas music has been playing on a continuous loop.......
That is why the concept of an entire Exhibition of Victorian Christmas Ephemera, large enough to fill an entire warehouse, (but sadly inaccessible to me as it is all the way across the country) is driving me slowly insane!
I do however, have my own local Dickens Event coming up shortly, and will appease myself by attending Wellsboro PA's "Dickens of a Christmas Celebration".
In the meantime, however, I am going to need to drown my sorrows in eggnog and read this excellent article about "The Great Dickens Christmas Fair" in Victoriana Magazine.
Oh, and by the way.... If you do attend "The Great Dicken's Christmas Fair" this year, please be sure to look-up our very good friend Heather Daylight at Daylight Artworks and tell her that Renacopia said hello and wishes they could be there!
