Windows 8 Store App - XAML Binding to Static List

I have a class defined with a static list. Note: I realize both are public right now, that is due to some testing non-sense...

class Breadcrumbs
{
public static List<Breadcrumb> _crumbs = new List<Breadcrumb>();

public List<Breadcrumb> GetCrumbs()
{
return _crumbs;
}  
}

I'm trying to bind this to a CollectionViewSource.

<CollectionViewSource
            x:Name="BreadcrumbsViewSource"
            Source="{Binding GetCrumbs, Source=local:Breadcrumbs}"/>

And then I want to bind that view source to an ItemsControl.

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{StaticResource BreadcrumbsViewSource}">

The code compiles but does not run. For some reason the CollectionViewSource does not bind at all.

I'm new to XAML, WPF, and Windows 8 Store apps so I'm sure it is something fairly trivial that I am over looking. All the solutions I have found using Google don't work with Windows Store apps.
