tile painting

One of the historical arts of Portugal is tile painting. We stumbled across a fantastic tile painting store, Azulejos de Azeitao, in this tiny little village. Loved their van...













This woman was wonderful. She gave us a tour of the facility and we learned how they made the tile. Hasn't changed for a few hundred years from what I could tell. Except the kiln plugs in now...









We bought enough tiles that we had to ship them home... And, we ordered a few special order tiles. Fed Ex should be arriving any day now.
