Holiday Exhibition: Timeless Tales - A Literary Journey

This year’s theme, Timeless Tales, A Literary Journey, is being brought to life through the imagination and talent of local designer and Instagram influencer Sarah Pring @vintagepottingshed. Sarah’s aesthetic touch brings natural organic materials together with old and new design elements, creating magic for this year’s display. Sarah dresses Historic Highfield with an elegant and elevated festive design, blending a specially curated collection with floral design that is both whimsical and reminiscent.

Woven throughout the house will be eight design vignettes evoking memories of favorite childhood books. Visitors will be transported by the visual interpretation of timeless tales. Other Holiday features include a model railway brought to us by the Nauset Model Railroad Club and set in the backdrop of Highfield’s Billiards room with a nod to a Victorian train station.

Music will be scheduled daily including traditional holiday songs performed by the Victorian Carolers, harp music, pianists including Vanna Pacella, and contemporary and traditional guitar returns with favorite Michael Oakland. Students from the Turning Pointe Dance Studio will perform dance vignettes.

There is something extra for everyone! Crafts for all ages, a pictorial scavenger hunt for children, and an outdoor Story Walk featuring holiday and winter themed books. On Saturdays and Sundays, we will have story reading for children, and our Snow Queen and Snow Princesses will make regular appearances.

Programs including holiday culinary, felting, and floral classes are scheduled throughout these weeks. These classes fill up fast, so check out the website for dates and pricing information. 

Holidays at Highfield is sponsored in part by the Martha’s Vineyard Bank and Rockland Trust.
