Gingerbread Houses and Whirligigs
On Tuesday we made a special visit to the "VT Folk Life Center" to see their annual gingerbread house exhibit. Wow-eee! They are made by both kids and adults alike, and it's so much fun to see the new ideas each year! Maybe Oona and I will make one next year. I thought it would be fun to share some of the photos for those not in the area in the spirit of the season. They also had a whirligig and a global textile exhibit that are both worth seeing, too. There's a few photos of whirligigs at the end of my photo tour.
