I have no idea where time goes, I turn around and it's gone. Miss Jimmy's is my passion and when spending time working there, time stands still. I went crazy this summer with ceramic tiles. I love tiles, and found so many places that they could be put! Concrete walls and tiles are meant for each other, and tiles are easier to clean than concrete. Plus, these tiles are one of a kind, hardly ever seen anymore tiles from yesteryear, thanks to my hubby, who works for a tile company.
It is the Anguilla tradition not to throw away things, so any tiles the company no longer wanted are brought home. It is then my job to figure out where to put them. So 1950's tiles now line the kitchen porch with lots of fruits and vegetables. Little tiles on the window sills, they are all just too cute!
Then there is the front porch, lined with flowers tiles, some sparkly, some with gold, some dimensional, all different kinds. Lastly, the studio, has confetti and diamond tiles, very festive. Turkish tiles are gorgeous, so three table tops got tiled in them. Is it over the top?? You bet!!
We went through our usual hurricane scares this summer with boarding up the house, then patching up the holes when the boards came down, so now everything has been patched and painted a sparkly white, our next few weeks will be spent beating back the bush (we had lots of rain) and raking the rocks in readiness for our guests coming. The cocnout trees were planted, some more flamboyant trees, some papaya trees are growing, some avocado's, and December is the month for the flowers to bloom. A great time to visit Anguilla.
