ANYTHING YOU WANT: A CLOSER LOOK AT TREASURES FROM NEWPORT'S GILDED AGE

The Preservation Society of Newport County is one of the richest resources in the nation for the fine and decorative arts of the Gilded Age. Visiting Curator Ulysses Grant Dietz went “treasure hunting” in the historic properties of the Preservation Society, and he found 100 objects that he had seen many times — but had never really looked at. He realized that sometimes, inside these beautiful mansions, it’s hard to see the individual pieces because of all the other things around them. This exhibition lets you look closely at objects ranging in date from the late 1400s to the early 1900s, all of which were collected during the Gilded Age. These beautiful things — furniture, metalwork, ceramics, glass, painting, sculpture, prints, and photographs — come from all over the world, and represent many different styles and tastes. They also represent the skills of exceptional craftspeople — including many anonymous workers who couldn’t afford to own the things they made. As you explore Anything You Want, take a closer look at these works of art and think about why someone in the Gilded Age might have wanted to own them.

Dates: May 27, 2022 October 30, 2022 Recurrence: Recurring daily Location: Rosecliff Address: 548 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, RI 02840 Price: Included with regular admission

This is the tale of a dog’s journey from being abandoned in East Providence, four weeks in the pound to becoming a cherished part of our family and crew on a luxurious yacht in the Caribbean. The love she had to share, her passion for life and her exuberance taught her humans a bit about how to live. She became not only a great pet, but the love of our lives and an integral part of our family and crew. The picture book, Hanna’s Big Adventure is a journey of how she used her intelligence and zest for life to learn skills building on a charming repertoire of athletic antics.

DI S C OV E R R H O D E I S L A N D AUGUST 2022

A few years ago, I was eating a late lunch at Pazi's Place, a retro 50s and 60s diner in East Providence, when I stumbled on an interesting narrative about the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse which I'd not heard thing one about until that very day.

Am I the only one who has

daydreamed about living in a lighthouse? I don't think so. Never gotten around to learning how to swim, though, which could be a big problem.

Thinking I could get a clear view of it from somewhere nearby, I set the GPS app on my phone and proceeded to drive around for about a half hour, finally ending up at East Providence Water. I could see the lighthouse off in the distance, but figured the folks at the plant wouldn't be too keen on my roaming around the grounds, trying to snap pictures with my iPhone. (The photo you see above is courtesy of a professional photographer — nothing but the best for readers of PattyJ!) Okay, my attempt to get photos or get anywhere near this landmark failed, but that didn't stop me. From there, I emailed the gentleman who wrote the piece [local Rhode Island author, Brian S.] that I'd read that afternoon in the diner and he gave me the green light to go ahead and
