Quince tea

ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha.
Looks like just my kind of midday break. Perfect! I have Gien china in my post and spent some lovely time reading about Faience and Quimper ware this afternoon. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove, Katy Noelle
Hi, Sarah! You know that I am wildly in love with your Quimper AND your quilt! How cute are both of those! VERY! And the quakers are fun while the quiche looks delicious! Loved seeing this. I didn't have food with my post... unless you can eat starfish??? At our house, it might just be an option. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Tablescape Thursday!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Such a wonderful collection of Qs...and I love your photographs...well done! Peace and blessings
ReplyDeleteI wondered if someone was going to choose Quimper. What a fun post, great choices for Q. Kathy
ReplyDeleteMaje that Quackers, not Quakers! LOL! Just wanted to make that perfectly clear. Although, I like the Quakers, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteSarah, I am sure, the "P" is your absolutely favorite. Your QUALIFICATION for QUALITY is QUITE amazing. Your antique QUIMPER tea set is so QUAINT and outstanding, there is no QUESTION. All is fabulously. And I love the QUACKERS, too. So cute.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Johanna
You did a great job with your Q words putting them all together. I never heard of quince tea or quimper so I've learned a couple of new words.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of quince tea, but I love your Quimper ware and Sue Grafton is one of my favorite authors!
ReplyDeleteSara, you delighted me by finding so many "Q" things! What fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog. To answer your question- Those are spice jars. Each one has a different label on them, cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg and ginger.
They each have the most darling little lids. I usually have them on my dressing table upstairs. But I wanted to have something to put flowers in, so.... down they came and became part of the tablescape.
So nice to stop by and visit!
Yvonne
What a great job you did with the letter Q.....don't think I'd been that lucky to find so many great things. Loved all your photos. Have a great VTT!
