I used this soup bowls, small serving bowls and a bigger salad bowl with pretty pink roses for this tablescape, I know I have some more pieces but didn't feel like opening more boxes to look for them. I paired them with my 1979 china from Anchor Hocking that has pink roses too and I'm using for our every day china lately.
The bigger salad bowl it's so pretty. You can see part of the tablecloth my mother crocheted for me around 25 years ago and I used an undercloth in a wine color, I like the color with pink.
Here is a better view of the tablecloth my mother crocheted for me by hand and it's very long, for a table of 12 seats, I used it for this small tablescape in our round table.
The roses in the soup bowls and salad bowl...in the far left a small serving bowl with the other side of the design, which is pretty too.
This small platter has such pretty chintz look to it with pink carnations, maybe because it's Minton, made in England and was my mil's along with the serving spatula, is vintage silver.
The inside of the salad bowl with such pretty pink rose.
My mother also crocheted 12 doilies to use on all my chargers, so the dinner plate doesn't scratch the chargers, she once saw them in a magazine and plain went to work on them several years ago too. My mother doesn't crochet anymore because of some ailment she has in her column, she's 81; but I'm so lucky she did runners, tray mats, 2 sets of doilies for the chargers, this tablecloth and others things.
The dinner plate is called Naomi Rose, stonewear, 1979.
The salad plate.
The plates with the Japanese soup bowl.
This small cloche has a little girls tea cup with a pink similar rose...it's from my grandgirls tea set, I keep it here to play when they come to visit. The rose candle holder is bisque porcelain and was made at our former Ceramic Co.
The stemware is French and was my mil's.
The small serving bowl for sauces, or whatever you wish it for.
This pretty design is in the other side of all the Japanese bowls.
This is going to be a sad weekend for the United States, conmemorating the 10th Anniversary of 9-11, that catastrophic day when we lost the twin towers in New york, by muslem extrimists and as a Newyorker, I am specially sad. I wasn't going to post anything, even though I had already taken some picks of a table for four I did with my mother's beautiful tablecloth she crocheted for me several years ago and some pretty Japanese bowls, with a pink flower, I found in my cellar where I have some boxes of china and things. Later I decided that I might as well, it is going to make me happy to be in PINK SATURDAY and to visit the other friends that joined the party, so thank you Beverly and thank you to the other lovely hostesses I will be linking too. Thank you in advance to the wonderful friends that always visit me, with such generosity and kindness. God bless America. Love FABBY

ReplyDeleteI just love the color of this china. I wish I had gotten some for my wedding, but I am glad to have my grandma's china. It means so much more.
ReplyDeleteFabby, I really enjoyed learning about your name. I still will always think it is a shortened version of "fabulous"!
ReplyDeleteThis Table for 4 is amazing! It is calming and luxurious at hte same time. The tablecloth and individual pieces are priceless - both for their fine workmanship and for the fact that your mother created them.
One of these days, I'm going to set a table inspired by your examples and talent.
I can't imagine how much it took for your mom to crochet that beautiful tablecloth. It's beautiful. This is such a sad time in our country and I know everyone will be honoring those souls and our military who have lost their lives.
ReplyDeleteThese dishes are very pretty Fabby. How special that your mother crocheted all those beautiful things for you. A beautiful tablescape today. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteMust be fun to have dinner at your house. I usually eat out of the pan, standing at the stove. Lazy! Richard from My Old Historic house.

Fabby it is so pretty with the pink accents. Even though I crochet I never do such delicate work as the beautiful things your mother has done. It is so nice you will always have that at your side to remember her in the years to come. I hope you have a wonderful week, and thanks for the reminder to up date on Little One and her new brother!
