NEWPORT — For five weeks each fall a sheen of glitter covers Jim Donahue’s hands. It’s an occupational hazard for the holiday decorator-in-chief for three Gilded Age mansions owned by the Preservation Society of Newport County (www.newportmansions.org). Now that Donahue, who is also horticulturist at the society’s Green Animals Topiary Garden, has worked his magic, The Breakers, The Elms, and Marble House are decked out for holiday tours through Jan. 1.

You can also see Jim's fabulous work at the Boston Flower and Garden Show in March. He's responsible for the design and building of the Newport Flower Show exhibit. This is one busy - and extremely talented - guy!
