Willa Cather's Wallpaper Ornament

While it is our official 2023 National Willa Cather Center ornament, it doesn't have to be the holidays to enjoy this beautiful and decorative porcelain delight! It is packaged in a sturdy and decorative box—perfect for giving.

Willa Cather chose this rose-patterned wallpaper for her attic bedroom at Dr. Henry Cook's drugstore, where she worked. Cather described the papered room—on the walls and ceiling—as a "sunny cave, with roses running all over the roof."

Proceeds from the sale of this ornament go toward the restoration of Cather's wallpaper in the Willa Cather Childhood Home — a National Historic Landmark.
