Five little girls between the ages of 4,5 and 8.
A whole lot of butterflies, a fish and a photo frame.
Lots of mosaic tiles predominantly in shades of red, orange, purple and pink.
What a pleasure!

Roman Mosaics
Less than a month ago I found myself in France with my family.
Taking a holiday before the season starts, always a good idea.
We decided to take a trip to see some Roman mosaics. Well, lets be honest, I convinced my husband that we needed to see some Roman mosaics.
We drove all the way to a little town called Montcaret in the Dordogne.
There, hidden away, is a little museum and a little church and lots of ancient mosaics.
Some mosaics still have to be restored but as usual there is a funding to be obtained.
I love the simplicity of the design, the visual impact of the colours and most of all I love the fact that it is still there after thousands of years.
