Thank you, everyone! Aimeekitty, someone who volunteers at the garden just told me that Whittle-Byer is in commerce as Whittle Light Pink Tea:-). I would have ordered it this winter if I'd known that. Masha

Thanks again! Paul, I should have had him take off his hat..he's bald and it really would have looked like an antenna! The lamps were metal. The website is www.desertsteel.net. A little pricey, so it looks like I will be saving up for a while! Ryan, we did. We weren't coming from WI only to miss it! Nothing is allowed on it....just you and your shoe protector slipper thingies....they don't want you dropping anything that might scratch the glass. THEY will gladly take your picture, which, if not included in your package, will cost you roughly $30! We passed. I took pictures of it from the side and I have other souvenirs and my memories. I still would recommend it though! Nancy

Great pictures. I love castles. When my brother and I toured Heidelberg Castle the tour guide showed us a gigantic barrel and explained that local were allowed to pay the tax they owed in beer or wine or mead. When they did so the wine or beer was all poured into the giant barrel. Then the guards working in the castle were provided some number of mugs per day of whatever came out of the barrel. Yum. Also they explained that the moat around the castle was made using local sandstone, which was quite porous, and if they filled the moat, which took several days, it would all leak out within a week or two. I guess it was only useful if any attackers were thoughtful enough to call ahead to let the castle know when they were coming.
