classic delft

Delft ... I'm not sure why but I've always loved it.  To me, it's like wearing blue jeans and a t shirt - you really can't go wrong - it's classic... end of story.

Don't get me wrong... I love colour - all sorts of colour, but if there's 2 jugs in the room and one is blue and white, there's a good chance that's the one I'll be taking home.

Look at all these gorgeous pieces I found tonight ...  Vintage Delft ...

The photos below are of the first ever (a bit shonky) mosaic pot I did.  

I was dying to use my 'Canal Houses' tile purchased in Amsterdam years ago!  I made the pot with  3 sides of tulips and the front featuring the Canal Houses ... sits pride of place outside out kitchen window so I can see it every day.   Love it.
