Many of you know that Melanie is a collector of blue and white Delft Blauw China. Well, we made our way to "Mecca" or Delft, Holland and found the two officially sanctioned manufacturers of Delftware. Even the signs were in Delftware.

From Delft to The Hague. In the background is the Mauritshuis Museum which houses Vermeer's most famous work, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" An amazing work which brought tears of emotion to Melanie when she viewed it in person. An Academy Award nominated movie by the same name, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is available which tells a version of how Vermeer may have painted this masterpiece. The movie stars Colin Firth and Scarlett Johansson
