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."

  4. Whaw, Quimper vases look realy good with flowers in them. I especially like the jardinière and the last wall pockets. Must say that I am usely not a big fan of Quimper goods but I liked the little bébé's. They are really sweet.

  7. What a feast for the eyes - bringing two of my favorite things together, faience and gardening. It is too hard to pick a favorite, they all are lovely and delightful in their own way. Thanks for the great idea, you've inspired me!
