More Giverny and Monet's House























































Another favorite.





















This appeared to be a feeder stream to the pond.






















 Using their camera, I took pictures of these ladies with the pink roses (on the right) between them.




















Monet collected Japanese woodcuts, including Hokosai. 





 Embroidered table cloth
























Monet chose these tiles from a 19th century tile maker located in Rouen, France.  These blue and white tiles mirrored  the 17th century  blue and white Chinese porcelain which had been imported to Amsterdam via the Dutch East India Trading Company. 








I did not go upstairs to see the bedrooms because it was so crowded and hot that I was done by then. The house was last, after walking through the gardens a lot.
