Style Saturday - Vintage Staffordshire Tiles

Feast your eyes on these! Aren't they amazing?! Last year we had the bathroom done and used beautiful old vintage tiles. I think they are my favourite part of the new bathroom. We have a beautiful roll top bath and oak flooring so they really completed the look. This collection of tiles are vintage Staffordshire tiles dating from the 19th century. The patterning is beautiful!

Which tile is your favourite? I would love to hear. Please leave me in a comment below

Springtime by Claude Monet, 1872, Oil on Canvas

Maybe it is a bit strange to be posting a Spring time painting in Autumn time but to me this painting is so beautiful that I just had to share it. The painting is by Claude Monet and shows his wife, Camille Doncieux under a canopy of lilac trees. Look at the dashes of fleeting light on her dress which shine through the leaves from the tree she sits under, so beautiful! She looks so peaceful reading while shading herself from the sunshine and resting in the cool of the tree. The grass looks lush and green and she seems unaware of at peace with her husband sketching her. Just three years after this painting was painted Camille became ill and died from suspected pelvic cancer in 1879.
