Hi my darling friends! How are you all? Hope you are all doing well and enjoying summer weather and maybe heading to the beach on weekends too!
I made a tablescape on my alabaster, round breakfast table inspired on the beautiful quilted place mats mother gifted me a couple of years ago, as she also received the six of them from a friend of hers for her 80th. birthday gift and they're a set of six with a round doily like..but she thought I'd use them more, I'm so lucky she thought that way, lol...of course I didn't argue...hehehehee..
I'm also using my beautiful Meissen bowl as a centerpiece, as everything has lots of pinks, including my antique dishes from my Mil.
The tablescape for tonight was inspired on my quilted chintz, place mats..a gift from mother and my second inspiration was this beautiful Meissen bowl with the three girls playing hide and seek..they look like they're two in some pics, but here you can see they're three, two brown haired and one with fair hair.
Vintage Meissen bowl, I used as the centerpiece..one of my very fav things around the house.
I shot I took of the Meissen bowl, standing on a chair, lol..so you can see how pretty the inside of it is. I love to serve chocolate bomboms on it for guests.
The clear pink water goblets are Polish and the clear wine glasses are hand blown in Mexico.
I arranged on my antique Belgium buffet the teacups, teapot, water pitcher, salad plates and sugar bowl.
The napkin rings are brass and they're from India and I like them as a touch of gold. I used pink linen napkins, to pop up all the pinks in the place settings and tablescape.
Another angle of our breakfast table and buffet. Some of you who follow me know we bought this beauty last March, I think...
Here's a peak of the formal dining room.
The quilted chintz place mats I simply love. They're also reversible, and the other side is pretty in stripes too.
The reticulated chargers go very well with the place mats, as neither are stark white, but of a soft creamy color.
The dishes are also a soft creamy color.
The place setting.
The teacups and in the background's tier, a cute vintage silver teapot that was my Mil's, along with some small and large vintage silver pieces.
Hope you like this simple, but feminine pink tablescape, the type I love the most.
Thank you all so much for your wonderful, kind and generous visits which leave a smile on my face EVERY TIME!!
Thank you gracious and lovely hostesses making me feel welcomed to your fun linky parties!

Hi Fabby, Your table and buffet are beautiful!! You always set the prettiest tables. Thanks for joining the Open House Party this week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always Fabby. The china is so pretty on your new placemats and match perfectly. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby, I love this table. The centerpiece is to die for. I think it is the prettiest thing I have seen in a long time. It is exquisite! The placemats are so nice. You are right they go so well with the china and I dearly love the chargers. They are so gorgeous. How do you get those overhead shot? Do you get up on a ladder?
ReplyDeleteHello dear Fabby,
ReplyDeleteI love all of your beautiful china and silver, it's all so pretty and sets such a pretty table.
The lacey chargers really set off the china nicely. And I adore the place mats.
Have a good week.
Hugs, cindy
The centerpiece is a treasure, and your design is classic and elegant. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteWe really do think alike, don't we, Fabby? Wouldn't you know we would both use the same colors and used some Meissen accessories. You know I love your centerpiece cause I have 2 candy dishes with those same 2 girls holding up the dish. Your table is very pretty and so is your buffet set up. I am fine, busy again. I guess it is an aadvantage being married to a doctor, he gave me meds right away and the bug went away instantly. The store is moving so I have been moving my 2 booths and have to finish tomorrow cause I am going on a trip on Friday....Christine
ReplyDeleteI love that your tablescape is feminine, beautiful and diverse! So man countries represented.
ReplyDeleteFabby, this is stunning. I love the placemats, I'm glad you have them as they are so perfect with this setting. The Meissen piece is gorgeous. Omg, really a masterpiece. I would love to spend time sitting there with you getting to know one another.. be blessed, xo marlis
ReplyDeleteYour Meissen bowl is absolutely gorgeous. Your lovely china and chargers look great with those pretty placemats. The pink napkins and stemware are the perfect complement. And of course your furniture and decor is beautiful. Such a pretty room and pretty table.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tablescape. I love the quilted placemats and the dishes are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful dishes, Fabby. Your buffet is just as pretty as the table. Thanks for sharing all this beauty!

Tout est raffinement et subtilité dans la recherche. Bravo ! Les assiettes festonnées de dentelle est un ravissement également...
Je te fais de gros bisous et te souhaite une très agréable fin de semaine.

ReplyDeleteHi Fabby: I love the beautiful table you have set for us today. It is always a pleasure to visit. That centerpiece is just stunning. Have a great week. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby,
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful!! You have the most amazing collection of china, silver, and crystal; it's almost like visiting Replacements, LTD. :)
You are fortunate to have the Meissen bowl, as I gather Meissen is quite collectible. I can see why you love it; the girls playing hide and seek are so sweet. I love the birds-eye view. Your placemats are gorgeous, and I especially love your sweet vintage plates and bowls with pink flowers. I just can't resist pink.
You've done a lovely tablescape, as usual Fabby.
It was so great to hear from you on my Krispy Kreme post!! :) How neat that you remember having those with your mom years ago! I've missed talking with you, but I've been away from tablescaping all year due to renovations to our kitchen. I'm about to re-join the tablescaping parties (I hope).
Thanks again for your visit and have a great week!
Hugs,
Denise
Beautiful! The centerpiece is lovely and I love the placemats!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your Destination table tomorrow night. Where will you take us, NY, Paris, Rome?
Yes! You did it again §:-)
ReplyDeleteSo romantic. Your silver wares are absolutely adorable.
You know that both of us are crazy of kitchen blings, so whether they are unexpensive or skyhigh in prices, still we both adore.
Loca mojeres...
Beso todos, mi amorat di corazon Fabby
That is so elegant!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your gorgeous table with us at Tea Time. Love the pink and the pierced plates!

Beautiful table! Your stemware,dishes, and lines are just gorgeous! You also have such a lovely home! What a view! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby! It is all beautiful but the chargers are my favorite thing. So fresh and you can use them with almost any tablescape. Hope you are well and having a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHello Fabby,
ReplyDeleteI think you have done an outstanding job on decorating your gorgeous alabaster table. The place mats are very romantic, and you mixed in just the right elements! What a delight to sit at your table : )
