Another pretty wreath
We like carriages
This was a building by the capital
This little cannon was just chill in
So I went up to it and said "yo" and we made friends
This is one of the pretties we found in the Joiner's shop
Part of a chair or small bench.
Someone was sharpening a saw blade (the blade is being held in the vice and hard to see because I didn't take the picture at a good angle)
Hand planes
Mallet (also know as the "chase the lady out of the work space mallet")
Some sort of leveling device (or wizardry, it's your call)
Joinery on the level
I like his work area
A wooden mug
An adorable little workbench
Tools
Another lovely hand plane
More tools
Hollows and rounds for making trim and edging
Marking gauges
The side of the Capitol building
The front of the Capitol
Trees
Decorative part of the gate leading into the capitol
We like the brick
The brick work around the windows is pretty cool
Inside, I like the shadow the window makes
Virginia coat of arms
Part of the tour
The Apothecary
I like all the jars and drawers of things
A big mortar and pestle (I think Julia Child would approve)
The apothecary's desk
Possible a former patient?
Tools of the trade. Can you see those syringes? I shudder just thinking about it!
Another carriage
A pretty clock
I like the chest of drawers
A lovely writing desk
I think this is a harpsichord
The stings are plucked rather than struck with tiny hammers like on a piano
The cabinetmakers desk
A pretty leg
Tools (we like tools)
More tools
The chair was beautiful, the detail was amazing. It was hard to get a decent picture so just take my word for it.
A beautiful tool chest
Table
A harpsichord in the making
The keys
It really is a beautiful chair
The workshop, crowded but lovely!
The Cooper's shop. The cooper does casks, barrels and buckets
The man is making a bucket and the woman is making a wooden mug, similar to the one we saw in the Joiner's shop but maybe a little nicer.
It looks like she is trying to get the rim all one length and smooth
I didn't mean for him to be in the picture, I was trying to take a picture of all the tools.
There he is again, getting into my tool picture.
I like the little bench. It's like the one the woman was sitting on.
They were talking buckets. I just know it.
Some of the metal rings
More rings.
Today was also Thanksgiving and we had dinner at one of the pubs in town, the King's Arms Tavern. I have a picture of the menu and our little table on my cell phone, I'll try to add it later. I didn't take any pictures because I didn't want the flash to interrupt any of the other diners. The room was completely lit by candle light so it was dark but cozy. The server was a sweet woman who took good care of us. The food was really yummy! We decided not to do the turkey, we went with a prime rib and it was cooked perfectly. It was a really lovely evening, and I am so thankful that I was able to experience it with David, and really this whole place! We only have a few days left, and I seem to be coming down with a devil cold but that doesn't take away from the magic that I have already experienced. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
