Travel, Upstate NY, The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning NY

-
I took this trip with the Road Scholars in 2015 and had a wonderful time.  Let's revisit my adventure. 



While I was with the Road Scholars in NY, we spent time at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning.  What a fantastic place.  The history of glass is something that I had never really thought about.  The wealth of information you will find at this museum is quite interesting.  So much to learn and see. Below are my photos and some tidbits from their website.

"You can explore every facet of glass at The Corning Museum of Glass. See more than 35 centuries of glass artistry in the galleries, explore glass innovations in our hands-on science and technology area, and watch live glass demos."


"The concept seems so simple. How much can you say about glass? Actually, quite a lot. Glass is a versatile, ancient material still being explored and understood by artists, scientists, and historians today. The story of glass is about art, history, culture, technology, science, craft, and design. And we tell that story at The Corning Museum of Glass."






 "The Corning Museum of Glass actively researches, publishes, and provides lectures about a broad range of glass topics."





Another wonderful day with the Road Scholars.  If you find yourself in upstate NY, I suggest you visit the museum.  It is worth the trip.
Happy Travels, Everyone!

I am so glad...fall is nearly here.  It has been a sweltering and humid summer, and yes, it is still that way today, but now that we have hit September, there is hope.   I love fall and winter weather and fall and winter fashion.  With that in mind, I have selected the September outfit I want to recreate.  I found the outfit on Pinterest.  I went to Amazon to see if I could recreate the look and will go into my closet to see if I can come close to creating the outfit.  What is nice about this look is that if it gets too hot outside, you can easily remove the sweater. Here is what I found... 1 -Levi's Women's 314 Shaping Straight Jeans 2- Fossil Women's Jolie Leather Crossbody Purse Handbag for Women 3- Peugeot Women's 14K Gold Plated Tank Leather Dress Watch with Roman Numerals Dial 4- Vepose Women's Ankle Boots Low Heels Chunky Cutout Booties+Perforated Western Shoes 5 -Canaria Italian 10kt Yellow Gold Diamond-Cut Dome Stud Earrings 6- Elesomo Womens Tops Short/Lon

History The Teddy bear, affectionally called a Teddie, was invented in the early 20th century in Germany. The Teddy Bear is named after Theodore Roosevelt, also known as Teddy Roosevelt. No one knows the origin of the Teddy Bear Picnic, but there are a couple of thoughts.  One is that in the 1920s, a social worker felt bad for orphaned children and was trying to improve their lives by hosting this picnic. Another thought about the origin is that it is based on a book called The Teddy Bear Picnic, w
