Aruba - Dutch Delft Blauw Pottery


Just before leaving for home, we are seen here with Lisa Thomas. Lisa is the 'font' of knowledge of everthing Aruban. She is employed by the Aruba Marriott Resort because of her knowledge and vibrant personality. She and Melanie became fast friends in a short time during our stay. When Melanie asked about Delft pottery on this Netherland Antilles Island, Lisa spoke with authority. The next day she said she wanted to see Melanie before we left, that she had something for her.
Sure enough, when we saw her the next day, she presented Melanie with this large Delft Blauw vase that she had in her home and said she did not have room for due to downsizing. Melanie cried at her generosity. It certainly was a highlight of the trip to Aruba. Thank you Lisa !
