Last week in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, I leaned over a balcony and was taken by surprise by a wonderful piece of glasswork hanging in the main reception. My friend Erica, who is fascinated by glass, emailed today to ask if I'd seen it and to let me know it was by Dale Chihuly.

It is accomplished, Ladies and Gentleman. On Thursday afternoon, there was a lunchtime summit at Brooks 1890 Restaurant to determine if the research efforts of Lost City reader Ian Schoenherr had indeed uncovered the true origins of the old building the eatery has long called home.

The other week I was looking at the stained glass kaleidoscopes that CJ brought my attention to on anthropologie. They seem to be pretty basic designs, though I'd like to check them out in person if I get the chance.

They, like all fine art, should not be hung in direct sunlight. The photographs...
