A Pinay in Europe

The Church Road on a Sunday afternoon.

We stumbled upon this quaint ceramic shop in Whitby while elbowing our way through the hustle and bustle of Church Street.

Church Street, I must say is the busiest pedestrian road in this most famous fishing town of Whitby because it is there where the highest concentration of old shops, museums, exhibition halls, cafes and even a coffin store are found. One has to explore the street slowly, scrutinizing the shops for their old English charm, and peeking at every hidden alley which is abound with jaw-dropping surprises!

I had the ball of my life photographing all the ceramic displays in this pottery shop. There is something about designer tiles that fascinates me.

The atelier where the artist is nowhere to be found.  If he was there, I don’t think I could have this photo though

So simple yet so charming - the rectangular plant container!

Shells for the bathroom, fruits for the kitchen..What about the hen and the cat?

So much to choose from, I wish I can buy them all

I could have a plate done with my website name written on it:  mariadams.com!  In green perhaps?

That pitcher on the left will look great with a bouquet of red roses on it!

Lovely for hanging plants

Shades of burgundy.  They will look great on my porch!

“Can I have one tile for each number please?” 

I will have to pass on this one.  It reminds me of Valentina, the snake haired villainess

Here’s a charming ceramic wall I’ve seen in another shop at Church Street.
