Alphabe-Thursday ..............F is for?

It's Alphabe-Thursday again so off we go to Mrs Matlock's class to learn about the letter F today.
Flowers, Fruit and Faïence some of my Favourite things.
A pretty display on top of an antique bow front chest of drawers in the sitting room.

Colourful tulips, lemons in a HenRiot Quimper bowl, HB Tabac jar and floral, bird plate from Henriot.
HB Quimper floral plate and a Nevers cache pot stand beside a large Sarreguemines platter in the Obernai decor.




We purchased this painting whilst living in Bavaria and it's one of my personal favourites.

Head over to Jenny's place to learn more about the letter F but do leave a comment before you go.

    I love the large Sarreguemines plate - I found something like that in Strasbourg many years ago and it is a treasure.
    Must rush along now and do my homework too!

    Maggie, I almost did faience myself. But in the end French toast won out. Love seeing more of your beautiful things.

    Maggie, I love this post. How cleverly you've combined all the faience, colors, flowers and painting. Even your linens add such a 'touch'. Anytime you have flowers, faience and pretty linens, I am enthralled. These should be in a magazine somewhere for many to enjoy! BRAVO!

    Hi Maggie, I always enjoy seeing your beautiful Quimper (and other pottery) bowls and dishes, each one more beautiful than the next. And I think they are at their best when holding lemons, which just might be natures most perfect fruit!

    What a pretty dish display !!! And the poppy painting is beautiful. I just love poppies.
    I copied your lemon curd recipe from your previous post and can't wait to try it.
    If you get to make thelemon curd & blueberry loaf cake be sure to save me a slice. Yummy!!!!
