Toile on Tuesday

About six or seven years ago I was a little bit obsessed with toile (mind you, not obsessed enough to know it was pronounced "twarl" and not "toil" so I can't have been too hardcore). More correctly, toile de jouy (for the factory in France that started this whole thing off),  is a repeated pattern depicting a fairly intricate scene on a plain background.  Now we know, thank you online encyclopedia Britannica.

Today, while I can appreciate these beautiful rooms, I'm not so sure it's me.

If you're not bold enough to use it in a room, it makes for very stylish gumboots and dog beds.

  4. I think the admin of this web site is actually working hard in support of his website, since here every material is quality based data.

  5. After I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added
    I receive four emails with the same comment.
    Perhaps there is a means you are able to remove me from that service?

    Thanks!
