Antique Tiles

The kenderman bought this tile (130 x 130 x 9 mm)

about 20 years ago for 1 gulden.

We think it's a 17th or 18th century tile

from Friesland a so called "springertje".

Update 30-09-2017:
An expert told us it's a Harlinger tile from somewhere in between 1780-1820

We bought another tile from around 1700 with a Tasmanian tiger pictured.

You can find our tile and lots of other tiles here.

Tiles

I spotted these tiles in our friends renovated toilet years ago.

Let's hope the tiles are still available. A beautiful tile option for our toilet renovation.
Due to a (hopefully solved?) leakage this will take at least a few more months.

Details

 There are a lot of beautiful details to spot.

I love the stone sculptures by the canal, especially the man with the lamb.

Barn

A couple of years ago we built a new barn.

Originally there was this concrete shed with an asbestos roof.

Our new wooden barn is so much better!!!

It's no longer in the middle of the backgarden and it fits right in with the surroundings.

Especially now the colour of the wood (still only on the outside) is changing from brown into grey.

We have a loam wall.........

a fireplace (built with bricks from the Antwerp Zoo :-)

and recycled handmade tiles on the roof.

You could easily be mistaken and think our (new) barn has already been here for a long time :-)
