I took advantage of my member benefits yesterday at Winterthur and took a special interest tour. Since I was the only person taking the tour, the guide, Nancy, let my interests guide our path. I saw wonderful ceramics,and brass sconces which took the shape of twisted branches and could have been at home in a contemporary home. There was a little glass sugar jar decorated with white glass cane work from England, and panelling from a Tappahannock, Virginia home, of a most unusual pattern. These rooms are not on the general tours, and no photography is allowed.

 

However, I am presenting this collage of scenes on the grounds, including the Enchanted Woods. Enjoy!!

Wow, you have reminded me of a beautiful place. I visited many years ago and the grounds are fabulous.
