Talavera Design Collection - Mexican Talavera tile roots date back to 15th century Spain. These beautiful tiles are reminiscent of an older Malibu-style tile and are from South Texas Saltillo Connection.
Exhibits in the new Rievaulx Abbey Museum opened on the site in recent years and displaying various finds and sculptural fragments from the abbey church.
There are few monastic ruins as beautiful as Rievaulx, the idyllic rural setting and good preservation of so much of the Abbey complex leave it with few peers, amongst the most majestic and dramatic ruined abbeys in the country.
The earliest parts of the Abbey church date back to the Norman period and suggest an austere building in line with Cistercian practice, however only the nave survived a major rebuilding campaign in the 13th century and this too has since succumbed to the hand of history, leaving us instead with the remarkable Early English Gothic choir and transepts, the defining features of the Abbey today.
There are significant portions surviving of the monastic complex, the grandest being the 13th century refectory. The remote location of the Abbey in part accounts for its good state of preservation, much less has been quarried away by succeeding generations following the Dissolution.
A visit to the Abbey isn't complete without a visit to the small on-site museum that opened in recent years and contains various interesting finds from the abbey-church.
There is always something melancholy about our ruined abbeys and priories, even the more complete ones like this. It is impossible not to mourn something of its faded glory and the cruel deprivations of Henry VIII's reign, but enough remains to enjoy this architectural jewel.
No! Wait! There's still a quarter of the floor left, why are you stopping now?
It was REALLY hot, so the grout set up super quick. One minute it was spreading smoothly, the next, it was a solid hunk of cement. Unfortunately, this change-over occured before we finished grouting the floor.
Lucky for us, the tile store was still open and had just what we needed. So I made a quick trip over there, while Michelle finished cleaning the grout.

Progress on my bathroom tiling project is the best Christmas present...years in the visualizing and two trips to Tubac's Cermic Tile shop buying sets of things, we finally laid it all out about two weeks ago on the floor, and have placed them on their respectivve squares on the wall, using digital images, too, to remember...Emerson has been a great sport about this meticulously slow approach.

the tiles said they
considered it a hidden blessing
to be here in the tunnel.
the tiles liked it in the dark;
where no one was watching.
in the tunnel,
they could learn french without
feeling silly about pronouncing
the words incorrectly.
they could slouch without
anyone telling them
to stand up straight.
they could cough
the car fumes right back into the
air with no one casting
an annoyed stare
at their lack of
environmental consciousness.
plus,
they said,
the tax assessments done on
residential property
located in tunnels
were extremely soft on their wallets.

Tunnel Tiles spread out across the wall,
soaking in the moody length of the tunnel.
Walkers wipe off the dust - passing by
and rubbing off the wall.
More than just casual observers..
these tiles have real soul
and revel in the funk blasted
by low cruising cars.
More bounce to the ounce,
reverbing off the walls.
Enjoy。

Some good news in the seemingly unending roadworks in the Old Carrollton neighborhood of New Orleans - new street name tiles on sidewalk corners, imitating the circa 1900 "Belgian" font. They look well done.
On Ashby Ave. in Berkeley there is a store, Zahara, that sells all things Moroccan. In the back storeroom they have some very nice tiles.
