Home made angel food cake with country eggs, which have very yellow yokes, that's how the cake comes out yellow as well.. like this one. |
I spent an entire afternoon looking through them and then an old issue of a decorating magazine showed up and I remembered where I copy-catted our stained glass-sky light for our new kitchen, almost two years ago. So, this is the third copy-cat thing I've had made in the past and posted, who knows, maybe I'll remember other ones too! Artisans here, in Cuenca-Ecuador, are so skillful that you almost want to copy-cat everything you see in magazines, or Internet, lol...at least I do!!

Beautiful you little copy cat! I was so going to do this, but I have been so busy that I did not get a chance. Darn, hopefully next time. Love your stained glass.

Beautiful skylight,I can just imagine the lovely rays of sunshine it casts over your kitchen. Beautiful vignette too. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful skylight, Fabby!
ReplyDeleteThat skylight is gorgeous! How lucky you are to have artisans to work with you!

Wow, Fabby!!!! Your skylight is stunning. What a great thing to copy!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my, absolutely gorgeous stained-glass sky light.... It must feel wonderful to be in that kitchen:)I also loved the pretty vignette you created on that beautifully carved chest. Lovely post! Have a great week!~Poppy
ReplyDeleteOh my! that skylight is gorgeous Fabby! Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteI love your skylight, beautiful. Love the blue hummingbirds. You have a lovely family. Beautiful cabinet.
ReplyDeleteFabby.....Your sky-lite is gorgeous!! I imagine when the sun is over-head it really brings out the colors in the glass and they reflect all over your kitchen....at night it must be beautiful, too!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have such a cheerful, sunny place to prepare meals. And also, nice that your country has skilled artisans to do this type work, sometimes it is very hard to find that sort of skill here..
I know things like this add to your already beautiful kitchen and is a pleasure to work there. Your guests must love it, too.
I love how you do all of these little extras around your house to make it such an elegnant yet homey
place to live. You have quite the "artist's" eye when it comes to
skills like this!!
The old chest is quite a beauty in itself and I like the way you have displayed photos and vases on the top of it. Are those your girls in the pictures? They are so beautiful...take after their mother!!!! You have such an attractive family!!
I hope this week will be a fun one for you.....
Fond hugs and love,Francy

I hope everything is well with you and your family Francy. Yes, I just have two dear daughters and the pic was taken fifteen years ago, when my girls were in their early teens. I'm the small one in the middle, lol.. Thank you so much for the compliment on everything. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteFABBY
Well, Your NAME just says it all! FAB-by! FABULOUS in everything you do. That stained glass skylight is just gorgeous as is your view out the windows of your home. I have copy-catted several things over the years, too. Sometimes it is just hard to improve on someone else's idea, isn't it? Although I LOVE the addition of the birds to your skylight- GORGEOUS! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby,
ReplyDeletethe stained glass window is really amazing. it turned out as the very same like the magazine. And your new vignette is so charming, not at least because of the lovely photos.
Best greetings, Johanna

Hi Fabby,
ReplyDeleteI love your stain glass sky light, the colors are so beautiful! In my last home we had stain glass window all around the dinning room and family room, I do miss them. I am still trying to find a window in my new home to have a stain glass design made for.
Have a sweet day, Elizabeth

Fabby you are such an inspiration. I love your use of color. That sky light is gorgeous! That is quite the copy indeed. Thanks so much for sharing and joining in.
ReplyDeleteThe skylight is gorgeous. I couldn't do that in a million years, so admire your superior copy cat skills more than words can say.
ReplyDeleteYour skylight is gorgeous, Fabby. Stained glass are things both hubby and I enjoy, just another thing we have in common? In fact, my birthday gift to him is a tiffany like floor lamp. I hope it gets here on time for our bday on Sun, the 29th. You know we have the same bday, right? I love your delft jars too, pretty vignette!...Christine
ReplyDeleteWonderful copy cat! What a thing of beauty to enjoy everyday. :-) I found you through Debbiedoo's copy cat challenge. I'm now following and look forward to seeing more of your creative ideas!

Ciao Fabby!Che bei piatti e che belle tazze!Baci,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteWrong. You didn’t copy it. You made it an inspiration out of it. :D What can be more stylish and practical than a stained skylight window? It’s very elegant! It reminds me of the glory of archaic churches with how these windows were designed. With such artistic structure, you can manage to keep a cool atmosphere and limit light infiltration in the room as well.
ReplyDeleteGalliena Gornet
Your stained glass reminds me of something that maybe Belle would have from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. I love it!
