I love looking at these pictures taken in Lisbon in May this year.
My DH and I went there for a short break in May and had a great time wondering around this beautiful old city and enjoying the Portuguese kitchen.
While walking through the old neighborhoods we came upon many houses decorated with these tiles and along the beach we bumped into a funny sign.
We had a wonderful time with lots of good food and wine and more inspiration for crafting!
A few weeks later I bought the book 'The gentle Art of Quiltmaking' by Jane Brocket and she writes about the mosaic-patterned pavements and the tiles in geometric designs folowed by a lovely pattern! This quilt I have to make... one day... Hilde
beautiful! I've never been to Portugal, but hopefully will one day when we're back in Europe! I'm just wondering about the last picture. It looks like the guy who painted that middle line had a glass too many to drink ;). Have a good week. How is the packing going? Love Vreni xx
