TRAVEL THEME: GLASS
VISIT TO CAMBRIDGE GLASS MUSEUM
Last year I visited the Cambridge Glass Museum, where I saw a wonderful collection of Cambridge Glass and given a guided tour showing how glass was made in the early 1900th.
Below are some of the photos I took of the elegant chandelier and dinnerware. Also a slideshow showing how the glass pieces were made.

How very pretty! I should think if any was for sale it would be very expensive.

I agree with Lucid Gypsy. These certainly look out of my price range but they are beautiful pictures. There is something about the sparkle of glass in a photo that attracts me. You post such variable and interesting things, Francine! Thank you.
