The Moorestown Garden Club Holiday Decorating Committee, chaired by Jean Allen and Monica Moeller, did a wonderful job preparing the Smithville Mansion for a Christmas visit by Teddy Roosevelt. The double parlor was decked out in Victorian holiday finery that would have made the Smith's proud! The many workshops held at Mary Ann and Paul Alberti's home paid off with lovely, elegant, decorations that fit right in with the 2009 Smithville theme. Highlights in the room were the beautiful tree hung with red and gold balls, hand-made pince-nez glasses, and pictures of Teddy and his daughter, along with four elaborate double topiaries which flanked the two fireplaces. Our thanks go out not only to Jean and Monica, but also their committee: Mary Ann, Linda Szumowski, Jackie Walton, and JoAnn Folz. A special thanks to Paul Alberti for his carpenter skills and patience with the weeks long take-over of his dining room!
