Faience and Flowers on Parade By Sarah

"Where flowers bloom, so does hope." Lady Bird Johnson

Yellow Daffodils in HenRiot Quimper Jug Flanked by Yellow Faience Roosters

It's Three or More Tuesday with Tam @ The Gypsys Corner. http://www.thegypsyscorner.com/

Join me for a flower parade of Quimper faience that QCI members have shared for this event.

HenRiot Quimper Vase with Sunflowers, Gerbers, and Purple Asters

One thing I've learned about collectors of Quimper is that many are also avid gardeners and have a shared passion for flowers. They are also a group ready to share their knowledge, be it about faience or gardening or some other topic. As I said in a previous post, I cherish the amazing circle of friends within the QCI. It is always a treat to see correspondence in my inbox from a Quimper friend. It's a double scoop of joy when that email includes an attachment with a photo of faience, especially when the faience is filled with flowers from one's garden. Double the pleasure!







Welcome to The Parade of Faience and Flowers. Won't you stay awhile and "smell the flowers."
