This week’s Holiday Collection launch, along with our upcoming 10th birthday at Dogwood Hill, makes the perfect moment to unveil a very special partnership! Over the last year, we have been working with the iconic WILLIAMSBURG brand to create a timeless collection of cards and wrapping paper that celebrates America’s rich design heritage through a curated selection of historic patterns. From this collaboration, we are thrilled to introduce our brand new Williamsburg Collection!
In February, Dogwood Hill founder Jennifer Hunt and Creative Director Lucy Young had the incredible opportunity to tour the Williamsburg archives. They carefully selected eight iconic patterns that were sourced from 18th-century textiles, wall coverings, and rare book engravings. Each pattern was scanned, restored, and turned into modern, beautiful holiday card designs you can enjoy today.
If you love textiles, wallpaper, and history, this collection was made for you.
For Jennifer, this partnership holds deep personal significance, rooted in her lifelong love of history and her enduring connection to Williamsburg—having grown up in a home her parents designed and built after the historic Raleigh Tavern. Fittingly, a portion of every purchase from this Collection will benefit the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, supporting its mission of research, preservation, and education to ensure our shared history continues to inspire generations to come.
We are thrilled to share some behind-the-scenes snapshots from our team on site in Williamsburg during their time researching, then later photographing the Collection. Shoot locations included the Governor’s Palace Garden, several rooms in the George Wythe House, the Apothecary, the Alexander Purdie Architectural Garden, the Elizabeth Carlos Garden, and the dining room of the Moody House. Big thanks to the Williamsburg Brand Team for organizing both trips and for making everyone feel right at home!
The Williamsburg Collection will debut this week alongside our 2025 Holiday Collection! If you love to shop early, be sure you’re looking for our newsletter in your inbox on Tuesday, September 16, for exclusive Early Sale Access to our Holiday Launch—two full days before the official release.

We will be sharing more details and fun historical aspects of each of the patterns included in the Williamsburg Collection throughout the season. And join us on Instagram (@dogwood.hill) for our Fireside Chats video series with our Founder, Jennifer Hunt!
