re arranging

A family day yesterday. My daughter in law Heleen delighted me with 3 lovely bunches of flowers..
White Fresias.. their fragrance is lovely

Bright red tulips.. A grouping of some of my hand made portuguese pottery.

I decided to get some of my nice hand painted pottery plates out of the cupboards and clean them up..I have made a nice new space for them on my little study wall..

Colourful Peonies....


I am looking forward to seeing them grouped together. The rooster plate is an antique plate..



I love this water pitcher.. The potter who made it"Snr Antonio" lives about 10 min from my Quinta. His pottery factory is family run. He learnt from his father and his father from his..and so on.. Its family run. I love to take my friends there when they come to visit.
I have had it high up on a shelf.. but i am moving it around today to try and fit it in with the other ceramics. . Its a beautiful piece ..I watched the girl hand painting it..

A little blue and white platter. I use it for butter or nibbles..but it will go with the grouping.
A fun plate .. astrology and all that stuff. !! All my pottery are from the same factory.

I feel that spring is in the air. I am washing my curtains, while the weather is good..and re arranging pot plants and my pottery.

Happy last Sunday in February..
