Willow Lovers of Oklahoma

Willow Lovers of Oklahoma Collecting Blue Willow is about falling in love with a legend :)
There was once a Mandarin (Chinese bureaucrat) who had a beautiful daughter, Koong-se.

This is group that will meet learn and explore the wonderful world of Willow collection that live in the Oklahoma area.This is an exciting hobby as we investigate the most produced pattern for 4 centuries ! He employed a secretary, Chang, who, while attending to his master's accounts, fell in love with Koong-se, much to the anger of the Mandarin who regarded the secretary as unworthy of his daugh

ter. The secretary was banished and a fence constructed around the gardens of the Mandarin's estate so that Chang could not see his daughter and Koong-se could only walk in the gardens and to the water's edge. One day, a shell fitted with sails containing a poem and a bead which Koong-see had given to Chang floated to the water's edge. Koong-se knew that her lover was not far away. She was soon dismayed to learn that she had been betrothed to Ta-jin, a noble warrior Duke. She was full of despair when it was announced that her future husband, the noble Duke, was arriving, bearing a gift of jewels to celebrate his betrothal. However, after the banquet, borrowing the robes of a servant, Chang passed through the guests unseen and came to Koong-se's room. They embraced and vowed to run away together. The Mandarin, the Duke, the guests, and all the servants had drunk so much wine that the couple almost got away without detection, but Koong-se's father saw her at the last minute and gave chase across the bridge. The couple escaped and stayed with the maid that Koong-se's father had dismissed for conspiring with the lovers. Koong-se had given the casket of jewels to Chang. The Mandarin, who was also a magistrate, swore that he would use the jewels as a pretext to execute Chang when he caught him. One night, the Mandarin's spies reported that a man was hiding in a house by the river and the Mandarin's guards raided the house. But Chang had jumped into the raging torrent and Koong-se thought that he had drowned. Some days later, the guards returned to search the house again. While Koong-se's maid talked to them, Chang came by boat to the window and took Koong-se away to safety. They settled on a distant land, and over the years, Chang became famous for his writings. This was to prove his undoing. The Mandarin heard about him and sent guards to destroy him. Chang was put to the sword and Koong-se set fire to the house while she was still inside. Thus, they both perished and the gods, touched by their love, immortalized them as two doves, eternally flying together in the sky
