WOYWW 366 - Córdoba and some more ATCs

Good morning deskers!

What's on my desk this morning? Not much... My friend (of 45 yrs friendship) has been staying with me and flew back to Holland yesterday. I have been catching up with all sorts of things as you can imagine.

I have received more ATCs. Here they are:
From top right they came from Julia, LLJ, SandraDe,   and bottom left is from Shaz Silverwolf and the butterfly is from Deb 'Tatteredrocks'. Aren't they beautiful! And that kraft card from Julia, hand written, bless you Julia! I love it!  Thank you very much.
I was very pleased to hear that Julia has been discharged from hospital and is recovering at home. Wishing you all the best Julia!

To compensate for the fact that there is nothing on my desk, I'll show you a few photos from our little trip to Córdoba last week.

I love these Andalucian pebbled floors that some streets and squares have. Here is an example.
And this chap is repairing a section of the above floor.
These are tiles on a shop wall. I think it was a pharmacy (can't remember exactly).
Some of you might know that I have this thing about doors. I'm forever photographing doors. I like this one surrounded by Andalucian tiles and a climbing plant. 

If you want to see more photos of Córdoba, you will find some on yesterday's blog and on Friday I will post many more.

Happy WOYWW,
Have a good week,
Blessings,
Lisca

Glad you had a good week catching up with your friend. The tile on the shop are amazing and are a lovely source of inspiration - so much so I've saved it to send to a friend. I will now catch up on things I've missed in the past week - have a great day x Jackie 27

Córdoba is definitely on my bucket list! If I went there, I'd spend all my time taking photos of patterns, they really float my boat rather than landscape pics :-)
That's a nice raft of ATCs you've got there, it's fab how everyone does different things!

Gorgeous ATCs. I also love these photos. Wow, what a floor. I was wondering if it was a rug or not when I looked at the photo, and then I read and saw your second photo. How cool. Can't wait to see the other photos Friday. Hugs-Erika

Hi Lisca, isn't that pebbled/cobbled floor amazing. What an art form. That image certainly suggests an apothecary, with all the bottles, so a pharmacy sounds right. Have a great week, hugs, Shaz #9 xxx

Such lovely cards and ATCs Lisca! I bet you had a lot catch up on with your friend! Amazing patterns in that floor and the tiles on the wall are wonderful as well. So much nicer than an inner city graffiti! Your photo of the door is so lovely as well. It really reflects the idyllic lifestyle in that part of the world. Thanks for sharing all these with us :) Hope you have a lovely week! zsuzsa #32

Sharon said...

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing. I have a thing for taking pictures of fungus - not quite as exciting as doors! I need to find something new that fascinates me lol.

Hope my ATC gets there soon!

I am into doors too and if I go away and don't find a single door to photograph I come home quite disappointed.
Love the pharmacy tiles, just love seeing things like that - and how fortunate to find a man repairing that gorgeous floor.
Hugs, Neet 7 xx

Hi Lisca, A lovely bunch of ATCs.

Thanks for sharing the photos. That flooring is beautiful and that chap must have a love for it, as it looks so fiddly.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Stacy Sheldon said...

those floors look absolutely amazing that must be multiple full time jobs to keep up with the repairs I bet they get tons of traffic of everyone wanting to view them because they are so cool. ( I'm really glad to see you posted these today) and thanks for the earlier visit, ~Stacy #51

Diana Taylor said...

The pebble floor is absolutely beautiful - what a huge amount of work goes into it, and all done by hand - WOW! I would love a mosaic around my door like that - isn't it just gorgeous! You have a lovely collection of ATC's too. Thank you so much for stopping by earlier, I hope you have a lovely week,

Marit said...

Thanks for your visit to my blog earlier this week - so you can speak 'Zeeuws' ??? 'Hosternokke...!' Are you 'een Zeeuwse' - you may have told me but if so, I forgot... I love the photo of that street with the pebbles... wowzah, so beautiful! I am a bit late with my blogvisit because, instead of creating or blogging, I sat on my balcony reading and enjoying the good weather last week. But today it's raining and it's a perfect morning to visit blogs so here I am, wishing you a beautiful Sunday! Hug from Holland, Marit #30
