j'adore tiles


Autumn is in the air...I'm instinctively making more soups than gelato, wearing a jacket during the days & curling up in the evenings with hot teas. The leaves are ever so slightly tinged with reds, oranges & golds.

I'm brewing new work meanwhile & can't wait to show you. This picture is of some beautiful antique Persian tiles I spotted this summer. I find the combination of animals & birds on them incredibly inspiring...

    Aran - I know! Its such a cozy season isn't it?

    Noosh - I didn't have enough cash to buy all of these, I only have a few tiles. My favorite is a light blue one with a man on a horse surrounded by flowers. I will take a picture of it soon! Although the man selling them tried to convince me to use it as a hot pad under food! I would never, I just displayed them on the walls & shelves around the house.

    elizabeth- thanks love! I have a soft spot for tiles myself...

    Tartelette - its always exciting to have new ideas, so i can't wait to show you...

    namo - thanks! i'm working on my photography skills!

    bon bon oiseau- truly, it would so delightful :o)

    please sir- it was exciting to find such a thing in a dark extremely cluttered antique shop!

    These are beautiful. I fell in love with old tiles when I was in Amsterdam.

    Yup! I agree. Those are so gorgeous. I love the bird one. There is something about lovely rich tiles that makes you think of a sultry souk somewhere. There is a Moroccan restaurant here in my city with a wall of similar tiles...I swear the food tastes better because of the decor.

    Those tiles remind of the infiniteness of the oceans. Very pretty.
