Christmastime & Four Seasons of Oatlands Miniature Art Show & Sale

It's that time of year again!  Christmas at Oatlands officially begins today and runs through December 30th. In annual tradition, the Carriage House & Mansion are fully decorated for the holiday season, and many of the decorations on each tree are for sale at the gift shop.  If you haven't been, I highly recommend it.  Admission to the Carriage House is free, and tours of the mansion are $12 adults; $10 seniors (60+), $8 students (6–16) and only $6 for National Trust members. They also have afternoon teas beginning at 1 p.m. in the Carriage House on Saturdays & Sundays, which are warm and inviting. Take in the decorations (and some art!) while munching on some delicious treats and being served wonderful tea.  To find out more, click here.

In addition to the decorations, each year Oatlands has their annual Four Seasons of Oatlands Miniature Art Show & Sale in the Carriage House.  In comparison to the show that runs in the summer, this show is comprised of small paintings only, which is a great way to decorate just about any space (especially small and narrow spaces!), and part of the proceeds goes to help preserve Oatlands.  This year, I submitted three paintings for the show, so go check them out!
