Delft

As you may have noticed, I have a new looking blog page! For those of you who aren't aware, the little blue painted 'porcelin' items are a famous Dutch stoneware called "Delft's Blue" (originating in the city of Delft, Holland) An authentic piece will have a signiture on the bottom, while the screen printed knock-offs wouldn't (and they are cheaper, of course)

I collect Delft, and here are some pictures of my collection in our kitchen!

Blue everywhere!


A dutch lace fitted tablecloth that i made.



I also made the tea cozy on the wall. Yvonne made the 'checked window box' years ago

A needle point that my talented daughter-in-law Lynne made for me. Gezellig is a dutch word that has no english translation; however, the closest would be "cozy, warm, inviting"
