Azulejos Medallion bedding from EIKEI Home USA looks very much like Ralph Lauren Dorsey bedding. Azulejo is Portuguese and Spanish painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework. It began centuries ago with stone mosaics with interlocking curves, lattice and flowers. Later colored tiles were used. Imported blue and white Delft tiles and transferware tiles were used.

We recently went to an Auction Preview at Indian Cave Lodge, a mountain hotel near Hendersonville, NC, built in 1892 that is now a private home. The home was completely furnished in what I think of as Western or Cowboy Style, which is a surprise to find in North Carolina. It was set up like…

I’ve talked about her blue and white Summer Palace collection, Charlotte bedding and the blue and yellow Maybelle collection.

This teapot just showed up on Pinterest. My daughter was invited to a mad hatter tea party and was saving ideas. I love it! A Blue Willow teapot with the dormouse holding a Blue Willow tea cup. This is a tea pot by Paul Cardew. I can’t believe I never heard of him before. I’m…
