Meet Alice Watkinson, Colonial Williamsburg Merchandise Buyer 

With the Foundation for 14 years, Alice believes, "In everything we do there is an opportunity to teach, but we can only succeed when we develop products that touch our customers." Perhaps that's why Alice demands such attention to detail in every collectible she creates.

Collectibles: Little Chapters Of The Williamsburg Story

"Finding the right inspiration is perhaps my favorite part of developing a new collectible and the vast design resources we have here make it easy. Costumed interpreters, antiques, buildings, and gardens all offer possibilities for great designs. Each collectible tells a chapter of the Williamsburg story—connecting our customers with the place they love and the art and artists they enjoy."
