We love McCoy Flowerform and Franciscan California Poppy mixed in our display. This is my 1st post here so not quite sure how this should be done. We started both collections after finding a piece or 2 at estate auctions. Then the search began. I recently found a 12 place set of California Poppy at an estate sale, complete with serving pieces for $150!!!

Nice collection! Any chance you could add a couple of close-ups to this post as well? (you can have up to four photos per post, just click edit and it will allow you to upload more)
Would love to see more of your stuff!
Posted some close-ups. Have added more Franciscan and McCoy since I took the pics. I think the 2 collections work well together.
Thanks! Really cool!
The poppy is pretty, but I have Desert Rose mixed in with my McCoy...and some Hull, some Weller, but mostly McCoy!
