Each of our hostesses was asked to decorate for a holiday with their Quimper. This is a lovely Valentine's day place setting.
Club member Kathleen T has a doctorate in organ music and is an accomplished musician and choir director. She studied in Paris in 1955, spending the summer with her organ teacher in Bretagne. This sparked a love affair with Breton instruments and Quimper pottery. She talked to us about these instruments and how they are depicted, often comically, in Quimper pieces. It was a delightful presentation that everyone really enjoyed.
A lovely picnic of chicken salad, pimento cheese, and PBJ sandwiches was prepared by the Dallas QCI members.Trisha and Melissa
Of all the beautiful homes that I have visited in Dallas, Twila's is the one I covet!
