FABBY: Pumpkin Chocolate-Tart

 I was in the mood for baking this past Sunday, so looking thru a Martha Stewart's old magazine, Nov. 2003... I found this great looking Pumpkin-Chocolate Tart with chocolate drizzle on top and I also  garnished it with some  pecans, it turned out very delicious, I suggest you try it, you will not be dissapointed at all!
 I decorated the table for tea for two with splashes of  fall, like the gourds inside the cloch and some faux leaves and flowers.    The tart with the chocolate drizzle plus some pecans too. 
 The sterling sugar spoon is a vintage Art Noveu style with a hand holding a fan.
 I used my three white porcelain cake stands in different sizes, along with my Noritake cups and saucers and cake plates.
 I like the pewter candle holder that my sil's mother gave  me last Christmas. I could use it as a flower vase too.

 Here is the pumpkin tart cut up for hubby and me.  I had it with tea and he with coffee.
 My Dutch porcelain  dog figurines, gourds, (we didn't eat the gourds!lol) and a piece of tart.
 Tart and tea.  I used two different sterling silver antique heirloom spoons.
 I used under my old (22 yrs.)  and inexpensive lace tablecloth a plain burned orange topper to accent the fall color to the tea tablescape mostly white.
I just got into the mood this past Sunday to bake and indulge with something sweet, but not like a big cake, or anything I could have a big piece!, lol...so  looking thru a Martha Stewart's magazine I found this incredible Pumpkin-Chocolate Tart with chocolate drizzle on top.   I  garnished it with pecans too.   We later had a piece with hubby with some tea.  I decorated our tea for two table with touches of fall, with some cute small gourds I found in the farmers market. 
I hope you can come and visit and who knows maybe I'll still have a piece for you too my lovely and sweet friends! Lol
Thanks to all the charming  ladies that host such fun parties.  Love always,     FABBY

  46. Fabby, That tart looks so good. I bet hubby was so happy that got into a baking mood. Isn't it funny, after all these years they love it when we bake for them. Ahhh, the simple pleasures.
    Your table is beautiful, I just love the little dogs they are so sweet. The burned orange coming through to lace certainly reminds one of fall. and the cake stands look so nice one the different levels. Love the teapot and dishes.
    Love to you, Ginger

  48. Hi Fabby,

    I am just wondering your address.

    Where shall I send? Ecuador or in the US?

    I have an Euadorian ad but, I guess you want me to deliver to the US, am I right?
    However, can't find any US ad.

    Pls revert, ASAP at:
