Hand Painted Pottery

How I love vibrant hand painted pottery....When we travel, I always gravitate towards the ceramic stores.I've brought back pottery from Tuscany and Spain, from our honeymoon in Portugal, schlepped  from the hinterlands of Thailand and even from remote parts of Africa.Every country seems to have their own unique way of expressing themselves with this age old craft .A couple of places I'm dying to visit just for the pottery: Turkey and Morocco. Any other pottery lovers out there?

Mood Boards

I've been looking over these inspiring mood boards from Ideal Home as I ponder a change in the look of my bedroom.Right now it's very country rustic with hardwood floors, scattered striped rugs and antique homespun linens on the windows and bed.These boards are all quite different, although I'm partial to soft florals- something I have to tame with hubs around. It's a start, although I'm such an obssessive it'll probably take weeks to narrow it down........
