"Handy" Wax Art, Yankee Candle, Williamsburg, Virginia
We watched this girl get a wax hand sculpture made at the Yankee Candle store in a very interesting process. They covered her hand with a coating solution, had her strike the pose she wanted, then repeatedly dipped her hand alternately in melted wax and ice water to set it. After a number of dippings, they peeled the wax off like a glove. She was then able to color it as she wished. The top photo shows a completed "hand" made wax sculpture.

Von Trapp Children At Yankee Candle, Williamsburg, Virginia
The Von Trapp family of "Sound Of Music" fame continues to entertain as the Von Trapp Children performed at the Yankee Candle Flagship Store in Williamsburg. Their appearance is part of a publicity tour for the "My Favorite Things" line of items offered by Yankee Candle. The items have song/movie related names.
These children are the great-grandchildren of Captain and Maria Von Trapp and the grandchildren of Kurt, the child who said he was "incorrigible" in the movie. It was an enjoyable afternoon of familiar songs.

Yankee Candle, Williamsburg, Virginia
We took our great-nephews to Yankee Candle today to meet the Easter Bunny. The Williamsburg, Virginia location is one of their flagship stores and quite an adventure. The "Round the Clock" animation above features characters that are about six feet tall and sing and move. They keep a perpetual countdown to Christmas; 266 days to go!
The second shot shows the lobby area in the opposite direction revealing blue skies, clouds and lampposts. There is also a large fountain in the middle of this area. The decor gives the area an outdoor, sunny, summer day feel all the time.
Aside from the huge selection of candles, there is a general store, unique household items, toys, and our favorite spot, the Christmas store. It sells Christmas items year round, has massive decorated trees, and it snows in the Christmas area every few minutes but immediately evaporates off the floor. This is a favorite place of all our visitors.
Happy Easter.
