Product Description
People from all over the United States come to Nantucket Island to celebrate Christmas in the charming setting of days gone by. Lamplights shine along cobblestoned Main Street, lined with Christmas trees heaped with thousands of lights. Every year, the week after Thanksgiving a select number of houses--most more than 200 years old--are chosen to be on a house tour for visiting tourists and islanders. Leslie Linsley, renowned style and craft expert and author of the recently published Leslie Linsley's Decoupage, is also a resident of Nantucket. Now for the first time in paperback, A NANTUCKET CHRISTMAS shows you ideas for Christmas trees, door decorations, mantels, and much more, all inspired by the homes of Nantucket. Also included are projects such as ornaments and stockings as well as festive recipes and inspirations for table settings and entertaining. Whether you're creating a wreath, banister decoration, or table setting, A NANTUCKET CHRISTMAS will inspire you to add a bit of early America to your Christmas tradition.

 fine holiday gift book November 19, 2006
Harriet Klausner
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This holiday gift book provides readers with insight into celebrating Christmas on Nantucket Island off the coast of Massachusetts. The two centuries old houses look terrific as they are made festive for the Yuletide season. The numerous color photos by Jeffrey Allen enable the reader to see first hand why this is a popular sight during Christmas, almost as much as it is a summer getaway. Author Leslie Linsley provides a warm travelogue as she escorts her readers on a tour of the homes, the ships, the shops, all lit up for the season to be jolly. Ms. Linsley also provides the audience with arts and crafts tips that include designs using greenery, fruits and flowers. Special recipes round out this delightful charmer. Perhaps the only thing missing is the lack of the owners of these delightful homes, shops, and ships as smiling uplifting faces would enhance the insightful descriptions and wonderful photography.

 All the charm of a Christmas holiday on Nantucket! October 25, 2004
Leawood Book Lover (Leawood, KS USA)
As a ardent fan of Nantucket "style" and history, I can't be more delighted that the author has compiled a book devoted to the charms of a Nantucket Christmas! The copy and beautiful color photographs share all the beauty and uniqueness of the special holiday season on this "faraway" isle. In addition to sharing the special ambiance that is Nantucket, creative ideas abound in this book for bringing a bit of a Nantucket holiday to your own home. Thank you, Leslie Linsley, for a book I will treasure for many years to come!!
