 Mary Ann Cannone, Rosa Johnson, JoAnn Cook, and Yael Beckman The Hammond-Harwood House in Annapolis is beautifully decorated each holiday season by local garden clubs, showcasing a blend of traditional decor and festive creativity. Under the direction of Project Chair JoAnn Cook, members Mary Ann Cannone, Rosa Johnson, and Yael Beckman transformed the game room with Colonial Williamsburg-style arrangements that evoke a sense of history and elegance. Highlights of their decor include a fruit and evergreen topiary placed on a side table and an eye-catching garland made of evergreens, berries, and – in a nod to the game room's purpose – playing cards that adorn the mantle, capturing the spirit of the season in historic style.  Yael Beckman with Lucinda Dukes Edinberg, Hammond-Harwood House Curator  The Friends of Kinder Farm Historical Society warmly invites you to experience the charm of the Kinder Farmhouse Museum this holiday season. The farmhouse is decorated by local garden clubs, creating a festive atmosphere as docents share captivating stories about Henry and Hilda Kinder and their eight children, who once called the farmhouse home. This year, the Crofton Village Garden Club, represented by members Nancy Percivall and Beverly Frye, has added a delightful touch to the kitchen with whimsical kitchen mice decorations. Grandma Mouse has been busy in the kitchen baking cookies for the holidays, but to her surprise, five trays of cookies have mysteriously vanished! Guests are encouraged to join in the fun and help find the missing cookies. The farmhouse will be open for visits on Saturday, December 7, from 10:30 AM to 3 PM, and again on Saturday, December 14, from 11 AM to 3 PM. Admission to the farmhouse is free, but please note that park gate fees will still apply.   Led by Project Chair JoAnn Cook, preparations are underway for decorating the historic Hammond-Harwood House for the holidays. Members Diane Smith, Yael Beckman and Rosa Johnson joined JoAnn in creating Colonial Williamsburg-style arrangements. Each year, local garden clubs contribute their talents to adorn the Hammond-Harwood House for the holiday season.   Area garden clubs are invited to decorate the Hammond-Harwood House in Annapolis each year for the holidays. This year's theme is The Twelve Days of Christmas. CVGC members decorated the study chamber, whose last occupant was Hester Ann Harwood, with 11 Pipers Piping. Past President Pam Ildefonso designed and made each costume, and member JoAnn Cook painted the faces.   Diane Stovel, Laura Austin, Project Chair C.J. Salisbury, Cindy Hansen and Barbara Emden Led by Project Chair C.J. Salisbury, members hung fresh evergreen wreaths with festive bows on the lamp posts on the Village Green.
