Beautiful

There's something about the Arts and Crafts movement that I find compelling, so when when the opportunity arose to visit Pasadena's Gamble House, how could I resist?

Alas, for preservation reasons, no interior photos were allowed. The brightness of the flash unfortunately, speeds up the deterioration process of materials and fabrics, but there are grand 360 virtual tours.

The artistry is simply breathtaking and astounding.

Ask me to share the story about the Tiffany lamp and the decorative butterfly...
