Here is the pretty embroidery corner on the satin tablecloth. |
The red stems are Italian from many years ago and the green I have for a long time too, I don't remember what they are. The napkins are so pretty, I also got them in NY several years ago, 8 for $5. |
The red chargers with my mom's doilys, so not to scratch the charger when we eat and the dinner plate moves around a bit.
The tea, or coffee buffet for after, to enjoy with our cake and Holiday cookies.
The tea, or coffee buffet.
The roses look like they're made of velvet. I arranged the flowers in a non-chalantly way not so perfectly rounded, as I've done before in the crystal vases.
I just added a couple of photos with the flatware, as it was bothering me too much, lol!
The place setting with the red charger, dinner plate and soup bowl...and finally, regular Oneida flatware!
I ran a green ribbon and small green tree ball ornament, around all the eight silver napkin rings. |
The entire tablescape. The silver napkin rings with green ribbon and a green small ball.
This is how my tablescape for Christmas Eve will be...and Christmas Day too. I always use my traditional Lynns Fine china, which hubby gifted me for a birthday, back 17 years ago and he gave me 16 place settings as he bought two sets of eight because we're usually 14. We go for a fabulous lunch Christmas Eve at mother's house the whole family with the children too.
I love my traditional tablescape, I usually feel the real Christmas spirit when I do my reds and greens! Are you mostly traditional for the Christmas Holiday?
Thank you my dear friends for visiting me, you know I love to have you and I specially appreciate your kind visits. Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great and fun parties they host everyweek.
Love you always,
FABBY

ReplyDeleteBonjour ma chère Fabby,
ReplyDeleteTa table de fête sera une merveilleuse table, très raffinée... Elle fait un bel honneur à la fête de Noël. Les notes de rouge, vert et blanc teintent parfaitement bien... Tu es à l'affût du moindre détail, j'apprécie chaque petite touche... L'atmosphère que tu sais créer me plait énormément et cela doit être très plaisant de partager une telle table.
Gros gros bisous à toi.

ReplyDeleteHi Fabby, A stunning table cloth for sure. Looking at the beautiful tablecloth all I could think of was what if cranberry sauce was dropped on that beautiful fabric by accident! You can tell my family Christmas has always been "real", hehe. Seriously, this is stunning table settings. HPS, Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThis table is stunning to me. It starts from the bottom up with that linen. I love that tablecloth. Whatever you layer on it is bound to be just beautiful. Your taste reminds me of Christine from "Christine's Home and Travel Adventures". (One of my favorite tablescapers) It has a look of formal abundance with a richness of color. I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Fabby! I can imagine the good food and wonderful conversation that is shared around your table!
ReplyDeleteI always look for your PINK SATURDAY blog among the very first I go to because I know it is going to be "eye-candy" for sure!! This one is gorgeous!! I cannot pick any one favorite object from it because
ReplyDeleteit is all so beautifully arranged. I love the embroidered tablecloth, it made a perfect start for the table. Such gorgeous china and stem-ware you have, and I enjoy the
little stories behind each piece. I also love that family is so very important to you and how you cherish all the heirlooms you have received from the ones who have gone on. It shows in how you bring it all together with such love.
Sounds like you will have a house-ful for Christmas, and isn't that the best way to celebrate the Christ child's birthday...family, friends and love and warmth...
You have such an elegnant home, with gorgeous possessions, and a wonderful family..you are blessed, dear Fabby!
Have a good week coming up....
Hugs, Francy

Fabby, I enjoyed seeing your beautiful tablescape. How wonderful that your hubby gave you such a wonderful gift in the china. You have such speical memories, too!! That tablescloth is so pretty. I can see why you cherish it.
ReplyDeleteSatin!!! Oh, my ... beautiful, but I'd be afraid to use it!!!!! The roses are amazing. The whole table is gorgeous. Just what I expect when I visit you, Fabby! Happy Happy and a Merry Merry to you!
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby, the satin table cloth is so beautiful, and with the beautiful reds and greens...Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
Hugs sweet friend
It's all so very festive at your place! I like how you stack the cups and saucers at a sideboard ... standing ready. Also I have a similar tablecloth but am wondering if yours is over a red or has the red attached around the edges. It is so pretty. I love mine and the shimmering satin look. enjoy the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabulous tablecloth. It is the first thing I noticed and your dishes look beautiful on it. Fresh gorgeous roses top off a lovely table. Enjoy your family and the memories created as you dine together this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThe table is fabulous! I have never seen a tablecloth like that -- exquisite and so festive. Your china is also extremely pretty, and you have put everything together so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYour family will really enjoy this, I know.
Hey there, Fabby!!! Beautiful table, darling!!! I LOVE the tablecloth! It is SO pretty, so delicately created....it is a true work of art! I know that china has a very special meaning to you, and I think that makes the table just that much more special. Using your brother-in-law's exquisite roses is an added plus. I went traditional this year with the decorating around the house in red, gold, and bits of green. I get bored easily, so I've been changing things out a little here and there. It sounds like you guys have a really busy holiday schedule, and I hope you enjoy every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteMy how stunning to have a beautiful and traditional table set with that lovely tablecloth. You have a wonderful tradition of family and special times at Christmas. Have a very Merry Christmas! Happy Tablescaping! Pam
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Fabby! Everything is just gorgeous. And that tablecloth is stunning!
ReplyDeleteFabby, I love the beautiful table cloths! They are stunning! Merry Christmas!
