FABBY: Tea 4 2


I love my daughter's gift for my bithday past Oct. 20th.  One side of the tea cups has a style of birds and the other side another, like next photo.
These two cups from the Chzech Republic were a  gift from my daughter Alexandra for my past birthday and I'm in love with them as they have such adorable birds on each side of the tea cup and on the saucers as well.
 
You can see a close up of the tea cup, isn't she too cute?!

Here is the saucer with two small birds too...I don't know the name of birds, but I'm sure you know which they are.  I used my white Noritake plates to make them stand out better against the yellow tablecloth.

I used my two Oriental white porcelain teapots, they both have a Chinese signal and the round one is footed and I just love the square one...they were a gift from hubby from many years ago.

The reticulated small bowls for marmolade are Italian, hubby brought them from Italy more than twenty years ago. The pretty plant with flowers are in a porcelain plant pot, trimmed in gold, was made at our former Ceramic Co.

The tablecloth I had made from my living room and den's yellow moire draperies we just changed, along with a rectangular for my formal dinner table. I was so lucky there was a lot of material to do both!

 I love this tea box my very good friend Myriam  gave me for some few Christmas ago, specially because her talented sister makes them.  The work on the lid is pewter and the work is also made by her sister.
 A closer shot of the adorable tea cups and saucers with one of the Italian lacey bowls.  The spoons are vintage silver.
 Here is the tea box opened, you can see it has separations to store the various teas.
My daughter Alexandra  gifted me for my birthday these two beautiful tea cups and saucers from the Chzech Republic in yellow with two cute birds on both sides and on the saucers too, and I just loved them, you can imagine how much; so we've had some tea together as she, our daughter Sofia, her hubby and the little girls were here for a four days holliday.  We had a great time been together all of us, it's not often that this happens, so I was lucky to receive belated birthday presents from both.   I hope you like my pretty tea cups I'm going to share with you on the great Tea Tuesday parties and some other wonderful and fun parties. I'm thanking all the great ladies that host them every week for having me.

Thanking you in advance my blog friends for all your lovely visits and generous comments.
Have a wonderful week.
FABBY

  2. Ma chère Fabby, votre fille vous a doublement gâté pour votre anniversaire, de par sa présence et celle de ce ravissant duo de tasses à thé.
    Quelle délicate attention... et quelle belle finesse dans le dessin de ce service. Absolument exquis.
    La boîte à thé offert par une de vos amies aussi est un vrai bijou, ainsi que le raffinement de l'ensemble de votre table. Merci pour ces belles photos.
    Gros bisous

  3. Fabby-Those bird cups are just amazing-they are beautiful! I love the table you set up -it is wonderful.

    I love that every item has a story behind it, or a memory attached to it...and that you were able to share some time with your daughter and her family. There is nothing in the world better than that! xo Diana

  6. Fabby, these new tea cups are gorgeous! Your sister really knows how to pick a beautiful cup. I love birds on a tea cup, but do not often find birds that I like the look of. But your tea cup birdies are perfect. Maybe they are bluebirds?
    Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
    Hugs,
    Terri

  14. That is fabulous! I need a tea chest. Every time we open the cabinet the tea boxes are in a mess. I need a chest to hold all of the variety. Such a lovely tea you had set out! Thank you for linking it up with Home Sweet Home!

  20. Your cups are just beautiful as is the fantastic tea box.

    You are a woman after my own heart, having tablecloths made from draperies. I don't think I ever throw things away, I just remake them or reuse them another way. That round one is really pretty with the ruffle around the bottom.

  21. How beautiful....I love fine china and am partial to anything with birds. Love how you do "high tea"...in style...just beautiful!

  22. Before I started reading, I said to myself, "those tea cups look like one my daughter bought for me in Prague, Czech Republic! Then I read yours were from there and from your daughter also - it is a small world!
    Thanks for having us to tea at your lovely table!

  25. Fabby, this tea setting is so sweet. I am soo wishing I were there. The tea cups are stunning. Such a sweet daughter to know her Mother's taste. You have such lovely gifts of the tea caddy, teapots and cups.
    Smart lady for recycling the drapery fabric. Such fine fabric should be restructured and repurposed. These clothes are grand. Love to you, Ginger
