Hello sweet friends!
I want to start by thanking you so much for your great and generous comments on our trip to Florida. I am still catching up with you my friends, as I just had to be absent from blogland again for a couple of days, because I had to be present and went by plane's distance, for a beloved aunt's funeral..one of dad's youngest sister and it took place in another town. She lost the battle of stomach Cancer... she was 79.
My table is in honor of my dearest country too...The United States of America. I bought from Florida these cute star plates for 99 cts. each at Michaels. I also used my red transferware salad plates and a lovely blue dinner plates with red carnations made back at our company and finally red chargers. I hope you like it.
I also pray and wish the USA be safe and be blessed by our Lord, for ever!
Wishing all of you my friends in the US a happy, safe and to enjoy a terrific 4th. of July weekend.
Have fun and eat yummy food too!
I will also be joining lovely Alison for her great party at FAVORITES ON THE FIRST at, http://thepolohouse
She is having a patriotic challenge on July 1, 2013.

| I placed inside the crystal vase a few limes, flags and my Bil's beautiful red and white roses. |
 |
| Banana cupcakes and berries in the sherbets. |
 |
 |
I love the star plates...here's one with the flag... |
 |
| another plate with little white stars... |
 |
| another with red stripes... |
 |
| ..love this one with the red and blue stars too. I placed in each a blue sherbet with red, yummy strawberries. |
 |
| I thought the blue framed dinner plates, made back at our company, hand decorated in a doily fashion with red carnations, where just perfect for my Patriotic setting. |
 |
| I paired the blue dinner plates with the red salad English Transferware plates. |
 |
| The cutest star plates I just got from my trip to Florida. |
 |
| Finally, I topped all the plate layers with blue sherbets. |
 |
| A close up of the cute cupcake. The red linen napkins are paired with paper patriotic ones, along with red, white and blue enamel napkin rings. The red wine glasses are Italian from my C'mas stash and next my very old blue glasses from 1975. |
 |
| Some more blue and red banana cupcakes. |
 |
| The setting is by 'blue' candle light since I arranged it in the evening. |

Love your patriotic table Fabby! The star plates, transferware and serbets are all perfect for an Independence Day celebration! Wishing you & your family a Happy July 4th!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful patriotic table, dear Fabby! I love all the dishes in your display. The star plates were such a bargain. Your centerpiece is perfect!
ReplyDeleteFabby, You constantly amaze me with your tablescapes...and those cute star plates...what a cool "souvenir" from your Florida trip. I love the way you mixed in your transferware and the blue edged carnation plates, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for making a wonderful tablescape to celebrate the 4th of July.
Hugs,
Babs
Love the table! The star plates are super cute. I am so sorry about you father's little sister. Sending Love.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Fabby, what a generous heart you have decorating for the 4th of July in honor of us here in the United States. Thank you! Your new star plates are the perfect addition to your tablescape, but it's the GOLD that's catching my eye! Why have I never thought to add that to my red, white, and blue table? It's so festive! Of course, I always love dishes you created, and the red carnations plate is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to learn of your aunt's passing. May you be comforted by special memories of your times together.
Such a fun festive table, Fabby. I want to stand at attention and just marvel at this beauty. It makes me realize that I need to put my laptop aside and get busy on my own patriotic table. Ha! Having too much fun catching up on blogs now that house guests are gone.
ReplyDeleteCute star plates and wonderful mix. You amaze me!
Happy Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteI really love the cute little star-shaped plates with the red transfer ware. What a great combo!!!
xo,
RJ
I knew you would not disappoint! What a festive table. My favorite plate is the carnation one.
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is beautiful Fabby!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the different style plates you used.
Beautiful and patriotic, Fabby. Thanks for inviting me over...Christine
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby, I love the table it is so pretty and I love your talent for tablescaping. It's always fun when you get a great buy for 99 cents! Well done. Enjoy your 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteJulie from julieslifestyle.blogspot.com
Hello Fabby. Happy Sunday friend. You just got back and you still manage to put a fabulous table together. Such pretty details. Your plates are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fourth of July to you and your beautiful family.
Janet
Fabby, I'm so sorry for your loss! It's good to have you back, though.
ReplyDeleteYour table is wonderful. Those roses are so, so beautiful! Your blue and white dishes are among m favorites.
Have a wonderful 4th, my friend!
Those star plates are really terrific! I love it that they come in several different patterns! I would love to find some of those to add to my collection.
ReplyDeleteBanana cupcakes? Those sound pretty good! I'm sitting here now sucking on a strawberry/banana shake. I can't eat bananas straight out of the peel (makes me gag!), but I do love them in things.
I'm really, really sorry to hear about your aunt. Stomach cancer is just awful, and I hope the poor dear didn't have to suffer. I hope that someday that bad old cancer can just be blown off the face of this earth!!! It's what took my Daddy's life, too, and I hate it!!!
Blessings to you and your family. Take care!
I love the way your have mixed and matched all of your plates for a Fabulous 4th of July Table!! Cute little model at the end there too!
ReplyDeleteDearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteYou definitely are the queen of table setting! What a lovely star plates you did bring back home from Florida and I LOVE your adorable granddaughter.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt and 79 is certainly not very old. Hope she did not have to suffer before she found her eternal peace.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Hola, querida Fabby. I am so sorry to hear of your aunt's passing. Dear aunts are just that--DEAR. They hold a special place in our hearts, and I hope the memories you have of yours will bring you comfort. Just tonight, believe it or not, I was thinking about you (again), because I've been absent from blogland myself, so I didn't know you had been too, and I was thinking I would email you to check in and say hello, then I found your beautiful post (as always). Your star dishes are perfect for your perfect table, and the deep blue compotes are beautiful! Oh, and the most beautiful? That darling Victoria! She is just too, too cute (tell her I said so!). I hope you're able to celebrate the fourth and all that it means to us here in the USA. So happy to connect with you again! ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteOoo, this table is just perfect! I love those star plates too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is so pretty.
Happy Blue Monday, Fabby.
Happy July 4th! Your table setting is beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteFabby, I love visiting your blog and the beautiful tablescapes! The Surprise was the cute star shape plates which have I also used on my 4th of July table. Your gorgeous red, white and blue table is so darling with the different layered plates. I enjoyed viewing the lovely roses in the sweet vase for your centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteI hope your family enjoys celebrating the 4th with this lovely tablescape for your beautiful Victoria is certainly dressed for the occasion!
Happy 4th of July!
Pam
Happy 4th of July, Fabby, and what a fabulous tablescape in red, white, and blue, with a touch of gold! The roses are gorgeous and you know I love the red transferware! The blue and white tea set is lovely too and it looks like you and your little Victoria are ready for the celbration. Thank you for sharing and coming to tea.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Hi Fabby!
ReplyDeleteLoving every little detail of your table!I would not have thought of mixing the transferware with the stars and stripes and it TOTALLY look amazing!
You are so clever.
So sorry for your family's loss. The older we get the more loved ones we lose --- do not like that part of the aging process at all. Thinking of you, sweet friend.

Your tablescapes are all pretty amazing Fabby! I'm sure everyone feels extra-special to one of your dinner parties! Following you back dear! I'll invite you to my next Blogger series, I only do it quarterly. Thanks for checking out my blog too!
ReplyDeleteFabby, Your post is beautiful. I don't know how you had time to do all this. So many great details.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your loss. I got chill bumps reading your preface to your photos. You have such a dear sweet heart.
I am working on my Fourth Table now. It is a little late but life has been hectic.
What a beautiful tribute to our Independence Day...your table is just so beautiful with so many amazing touches and ideas...I love how you stacked the plates of the various shapes to create a wonderful place setting...Victoria is so cute in her outfit!!...and I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved aunt!
ReplyDeleteFirst, Victoria is just beautiful! I do love your patriotic table Fabby. The dishes you use are always so pretty. Thanks SO much for your visit. We just got home from vacation too but my Joe has pneumonia so it wasn't a fun vacation for him at all. Hope you had fun in Fl. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby, it is so difficult to say goodbye to someone so dear. Several years ago I did the same to my favorite aunt. Her sweet memory lives on and I often share my favorite dishes of hers (red & white transferware) and even the ruby red juice glasses on my Americana table were hers too.
ReplyDeleteYour table setting is so very fun and festive. And you were wise to snatch up those fun star plates. I love how each is different...so whimsical! You blue framed plates really are a lovely addition. I am totally smitten with they're sweetness. :)
God bless America....and Happy Fourth to you.
Fabby this is a great look for the 4th! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSherry

Hello Fabby,
ReplyDeleteYour table is totally patriotic, and perfectly American looking! YaY! You always do the most incredible tablescaping. Every detail you have included works so well together. I need to take a lesson from you and make more of an effort on my tables.

Thank you for the blessing on our country. You are so kind! May I return the gesture and say Many blessings on your country and to all your family.
Hugs,
Terri
