Quimper Shadow Shots

A trio of Normandy decor plates.
As I walked through the kitchen early one morning this week I noticed how the sun was creating this dogtooth check pattern like shadow, through the chain link fly screen, and across the three Normandy decor plates hanging on the wall next to the kitchen door.
A close up of the petite Normande.
I bought the man and woman plates as a pair from my friend Sarah during the members only sale held during the Philadelphia QCI meeting in 2008.
Check out Sarah's blog Hyacinths for the Soul (there's a link on the sidebar) to see her post about a new QCI member, Emily, which features Emilys collection and her French Hutch filled with soleil decor Quimper.
The top plate has the name of the Normandy port of "Le Havre" on the front, where it was probably sold as a holiday souvenir, and was purchased from Judy D at Brittany Byways, you'll find a link to her blog on the sidebar too.

    WELCOME THE SHADOWS

    Welcome the shadows surrounding your life,
    Treat them as lover or husband or wife;
    Welcome them in as you would one who’s dear;
    Hug them, embrace them without any fear;
    Honor, respect them, and give them their due,
    For shadow and light are both parts of you.
