Lovely pottery and meal. Happy Labor Day!!! 

beautiful!!! 

Thank you, John, and to you! Thank you, Bear! I love it so much! ♥️  

This set is really beautiful Melissa. Lunch sounds good.  

Beautiful Melissa, hope your entire family is doing well💋 

Pottery is beautiful. Lunch is looking good. You all make me so jealous, with talks of trips especially Italy and France. Enjoy rest of day😷🏅 

Thanks, wifey, ocean_girl, and Carol! We have different little sets from each of our trips to this village. Plus, we have a bunch of mugs we and our girls brought home over the years from the same place. I don't collect stuff... I'm pretty minimal when it comes to possessions, but I adore my pottery because of the memories to which they are connected! Carol, my family has been able to travel very easily because we have very close friends in Germany. We visit them and they visit us. When the cost is pretty much just the flight over a, it is so wonderful!  

Melissa! ❣️❣️❣️ I love it!!!! 😍😍😍😍 so beautiful. I can see why you collected this pattern. It fits with your love of flowers. So nice to have wonderful memories of time spent with family & friends. 

And aren’t heart shaped bowls the best? It’s literally love. 

Thank, GibJib! I wish I had more of this, sadly this is it... And my only heart. But, I do love it! I have a little larger set of a little tea pot, four mugs, and two candle holders. It is similar but dark blue with flowers. It was from a different shop which closed after our first two trips to the village. It was crazy even how we found this place. It is probably really famous, but we were just driving through some back roads with friends and came across the town. It was like, "hold up! All these shops are full of pottery!" clearly the industry of the town.  

awesome pottery Melissa. I'm such a dude. living alone currently I need an interior designer. plastic walmart stuff? I'm there dude.  

Oh man, #One, I'm not a interior designer for sure... Goodness! Our couches are 24 years old. We got the cheap ones knowing we would replace them "soon" when we could. 😁 The only pictures I have on the walls are of my kids and from our travels. My "dresser" is plastic bins under the bed and our closet is the "linen closet" upstairs from the room where we sleep, which is a converted "study" with just room enough to walk around our bed! We have a lovely home with space, but I'm a terrible decorator! Stuff doesn't make a home! My "coffee table" is Chris's weight bench!!! So classy with a living room floor littered with dumbbells! 😁  

Oh thank you for the honesty. That helps ease my pain a bit. Sterilite plastic dressers here too. Everything I have currently God has blessed me with. All free. Except the futon. That's walmart. Lol. Your too sweet.  

It’s definitely the people and the love in your house, 1.0, not material things, that truly matters. Special pottery, plastic wear, paper plates, (#paperplategate 😝) and Taco Bell napkins or paper towels are all acceptable. We all like and use different things. No comparisons, just appreciation for what you have. ❣️ 

Oh I love the pottery! I collect Russel Wright pieces and this looks very similar to a lot of the stuff that I have. 

it's all lovely 

Those are super cute! I get a lot of my fine China from The Dollar Tree. They had some cute fall themed bowls for a DOLLAR! WOOHOO!!! 

Letty your speaking my language. I love me some dollar tree. Except I never leave for less than $25.  

I love beautiful pottery especially done by a potter and not in a factory! Those cups look like they are big enough - so often cups are just not big enough! 

Pottery is awesome melissa. We bought kitchen towels from that area. Less breakable. 😮 And @Petra, Oktoberfest Maßkrüge dürfen nur Bier einschenken lassen! 🍺🍺🤣🤣
