Quimper and Christmas
While we were putting away Christmas decorations and before the main tree came down I decided to set a table in the study for a cozy dinner for two. I had Eggplant Parmesan (see recipe here) in the oven and I was planning to bake beer bread.
I always wanted to do a Christmas tablescape using my Quimper. The dark pink and green in the French faience looks beautiful with the reds and greens on the Christmas tree. I wanted a cozy feel for a cold evening. I'm using one of the beautiful quilts my mother-in-law quilted and gifted to my husband and me. The design is Dresden Plate. It has a lot of yellow and the boarder is yellow so the Quimper Soleil pattern looks beautiful with it. Not a lot of text here just pretty Quimper for your pleasure.

*It was a difficult decision choosing a pattern in the Quimper shop in Paris (unfortunately the shop is no longer there.) So many beautiful patterns and colors but I knew I wanted the Soleil all along. I chose a few starter serving pieces and place settings and through the years added to my collection.
