Oh. These are simply beautiful. All of them. However, as a serious cat lover, Mr Pussy in Spring has my vote (by a whisker) today.
Thank you.
Wonderful again. Thank you for posting them. Love Mr Pussy.

Hi there. I have only just chanced upon this amazing website while researching delft tiles. The Two for Joy tile has a particular, very personal meaning to me, relating to my beloved but sadly departed mam and dad. Would you know if this tile is available to buy/commission please?
Thank you.
