I've reposted this because the bugger wouldn't do what I wanted it to do. It's just the same as whatever you managed to see that I couldn't.
Well these are for  [info]sexymermaid and if I can remember the name of the building with the mosaic ceiling and the bronze doors outside the Duomo I will update. 
These are from our last holiday in Italy, in Florence which is a lovely small city full of churches, history and art. 
e.t.a. It was the Baptistry and why didn't I remember you liked mosaics? Would love to see images of your table and I loved the turquoise jewellery, which technically is my birthstone though I don't like it cos it's not shiny enough.


The Duomo from our bedroom window. we never got in because of queues across the piazza.

The statue that was vandalised while we were there.


And the Baptistry mosaic ceiling done by workers from Byzantium so that's why it looks Eastern.
Hope you like.

I loved these pictures. I miss travelling since we've been working on our condo since we moved in.

This is my mosaic table recently: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/jancie65/lightbox156.jpg?t=1176219538

And a close up: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/jancie65/lightbox157.jpg?t=1176219650

I had glued most of it last year but only grouted it this year. I actually had a friend who visited my home from England (I know her from LJ) who sat out there with me in September.

Anyway, hopefully when my flowering plants and things start later on, I'll take another picture of the patio. It's lovely when that happens and this year we stored away all the extra pots so it's much nicer.

Is jealous! I wish we had weather suitable for patios and that I had the patience to do lovely work like this.
Off to read 'Hired Man' Part 7. No doubt will comment there too. You'll be sick of me as I've three more days of Rome to go. Stand by for queues, football riots and churches till they come out of your ears. Oh and the Colosseum.
