    Ohhh my...what a lovely tea you have prepared for us today, Laurie! Of course, you know how I just adore that beautiful Quimperware! I love the Quimper fan shaped vase...sooo very pretty! I think this is the first time that I've seen your pretty tea cups and the tray...are they new? Anyway, I just love this little place in your kitchen...I think the bench with all those pretty pillows is just the perfect spot to have a little tea party!!! Ohhh Laurie, I just adore the "frenchy" ambiance of it all!!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us and this pretty tea tray too!!! Such a treat, my friend!

  7. Laurie, this is a new little nook I've not seen. What a comfy spot to relax and enjoy tea with you. Your newly acquired pieces of Q are right at home. And the little sugar and creamer is wonderful with their pear and apple shapes. Like Debbie, I think I'll just stay and sit a time to enjoy the moment. ~ Sarah

  16. Like BJ, I love Quimper but don't have a single piece. I first saw it in a client's house a few years back and fell in love with it- I need to check on E-bay for some.
    All of your pieces are just beautiful. And the vase is so unique. I sure would enjoy having a cup of tea with you!
    hugs, Sue

  20. You always have the most amazing dish sets.. This one has a sense of whimsey that I just adore. I so want to have a more frenchy interior and though you and many other bloggers show great examples, I cant seem to make it happen here.. I see no other alternative but you to all climb on a tour bus and come here and just decor your little heart out..OK:) see ya soon...

    Hugs
