Beautiful homes, decorated for the holidays!
Blithewold Mansion, a 45-room English style manor house in Bristol, RI, will be bright and merry with glistening trees, bountiful flowers, garden fairies and woodland whimsy all capturing the spirit of Blithewold's family. Masses of poinsettias and thousands of lights will adorn the 18 foot tree in the entrance hall, a preview to the grand holiday display which includes 30 more trees throughout the house.
Hearthside, in Lincoln, RI, has been noted as one of the finest examples of early 19th century federal-style houses in the state. The unique 2 ½ story house is built of fieldstone, and has 10 fireplaces in the 10-room home, hence the name. Here we'll be greeted by costumed docents and holiday goodies.

A. Elmer Crowell:
Master of Decoys
at the
Mass Audubon Visual Arts Center
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
This exhibition at the Mass Audubon Visual Arts Center showcases some of the best work of A. Elmer Crowell (1862-1952) of East Harwich, far and away the most gifted bird carver and decoy maker of his generation. His work is prized by collectors for sheer beauty of form, detailed carving, and masterful, subtle brushwork.
Eleven never-before-exhibited, early pieces are featured in the exhibition. Most exciting is a Canada goose with a sinuously curved neck. This same group includes a robust preening pintail, an inquisitively-reaching black duck, a calling green-wing teal drake with hen, and a snuggle-headed merganser. Visitors will also enjoy viewing four early shorebird decoys, three black-bellied plovers and a yellowlegs.
These extraordinary pieces are surrounded by other classic Crowell carvings of shorebirds, gamebirds, and waterfowl, as well as an array of colorful songbirds. The carvings range in size from a miniature hummingbird only an inch in length to the life-size Canada goose.
Following our visit to the Visual Arts Center, we'll travel to the new Patriot Place shopping destination at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, where we'll enjoy an included lunch, followed by free time for independent shopping.
Transportation, docent tour and lunch
