Congratulations. I must say, as soon as I saw this design I knew it must win! I love how you combined the Delft Blue with the city design. My very first apartment was decorated in Delft blue. I had a gorgeous lamp that I paid a fortune for and several other pieces.

I missed voting in this one - but this would have definitely been my favorite! It is bookmarked - a birthday gift to myself this year to better celebrate St. Nicholas Day! Will be gorgeous as a table top in the dining room.
Love it, love it, love it!

Thanks for all the lovely comments on this :) The color choice was very easy this time ;-) For those who like the windmill; this mill is called 'molen de roos' Translation 'Mill the Rose'. The blue heart is a piece of art next to the marketplace. And the cow stands on a lovely square with a lot of cafes.

so brilliant to do the city in the style of the pottery - and you succeeded in both, but in your own style too! Simple and exuberant and wonderful.
bora says:

Fun view. My son visited Delft this last summer and I wished I'd been there.
