If you are anywhere remotely near southern California this coming October, I very strongly recommend making your way to Pasadena for some of the wonderful Craftsman Weekend events on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd. These folks take it very seriously – the weekend is packed with lectures, home tours (and walking and bus tours, too), a whole exhibition hall full of furniture & decorative art displays and dealers, special evening events and plenty more.
The event is organized by Pasadena Heritage, the local non-profit preservation group, and has been held for 14 consecutive years now. It’s the "largest and most comprehensive celebration of the Arts & Crafts movement in the Western United States," and all proceeds go to ongoing preservation and education efforts in Pasadena.
I missed the home tour. When is the next one? Is it always in October?
