64. David Winter Cottages

Sun Jun 8, 2025, 09:20 PM

Jun 8

I was stationed in England in the mid-80s and fell in love with David Winter Cottages and I kept collecting them over the next 15 years. I have about 50 cottages of various sizes sitting on top of my entertainment system with a couple of them signed by David Winter himself. My prized piece is the 2000 Millennium at Horseshoe Bay, below, of which only 2,000 were made and was signed by David Winter when he visited Sacramento in the late 90s.
