Hello sweet friend!
The days are nice and warm lately in my neck of the woods, as it was in the early 50's before, in the southern hemisphere, of course. Now it's in the late 70's and very sunny, which I'm loving it!
My 'Beach Theme' tablescape is inspired in our good weather, plus, summer vacation is almost over around here too, since children will start school September the second. I am not ready yet for Fall decor, I will start next month.
I am using this setting for mother in our alabaster breakfast table; as I'll be cooking sea food we all like for today, Wednesday, which is when she comes to spend the day with us. Anyhoo, here is my 'beachy-Andean' setting, lol!
I used my cane chargers with square dinner plates and my fav Multiple Choice fish plates. |
At left are my natural shells for 'Coquile St. Jacques' a favorite of Mr. Living. |
A little fish bowl salt cellar. I love the enamel sailboat napkin rings I bought several years ago. |
White square dinner plate and fish salad, or entree plate. |
With a green square plate. |
With yellow square plate. All the square plates were also from our past factory. |
The Ceviche sherbet with fish, seahorse and sea-scallops hand decorated....from our factory as well. |
A close up of the cute sherbets in a sea theme and hand decorated. |
The tureen is all hand decorated, as well. We love beer in these tall glasses with our sea food. |
The natural Ecuadorian Spondylus shell' bowl for hot sauce in the back with a shell spoon. |
The beer tall pitcher and tall beer glasses are a set that Alejandro's brothers gave him several years ago for his birthday. |
I really like this tall beer pitcher. |
The view from my breakfast room window. The Andean mountains in the foreground. The river at right. We are in a 14th. floor Pt. House. |
Natural shell for 'Coquille St. Jacques.' |

I think the menu is as wonderful as your tablescape Fabby! Love escabeche!!!!! I don't know if your version is same as ours -lots of tomatoes and onions! Share it when you can please! I love the centerpiece, perfect for your meal as well as the touch of shells and starfish!! Perfect meal for the perfect mom I think! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo colorful and so beautiful, Fabby. I love your shell items. I always drool over the ceramic pieces that you made in your factory. I wish they would offer them on Ebay, lol....Christine
ReplyDeleteDearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteYou are a master at Table Settings and you could fill the void for another sequal of NY City Soho's Peri Wolfman's 'The Perfect Setting': http://amzn.to/14Lgj6M
She's one of my favorite writers with such class.
LOVE your 'Ecuadorian Spondylus Shell' and other natural shells for serving your delicious lunch in.
Your Mother will have a great time with you, with fabulous look from the top floor(s) of your Penthouse.
Hugs to you and thanks for your always amazing posts. Never boring and always beautiful!
Mariette
I agree with Vel - the menu sounds incredible - I'd love to see the food too LOL

Your tablescape is simply gorgeous! I just want to sit and be part of your dinner company. The view from your place is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHola, Fabby. What a pretty, pretty table! I bet your mom loved it--que linda! The dishes are so unique and interesting, and those seafood sherbets and the natural shell bowls are just perfect! I hope you enjoyed your time with your mother at this lovely setting, Fabby. ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteFabby, this is a delightful table. It's always a treat to see YOUR dishes. And there is that view again. '-)
ReplyDeletePenthouse living at its best!
The tureen is fabulous! I love how the flowers pick up the colors in it, all of your pottery is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love all things "beachy" and this is the perfect tablescape and view!
Those pieces you made in your former factory are just exquisite, especially the tureen.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course that view -- I would feel like I died and went to heaven!
Gorgeous, love your tablescape!
ReplyDeleteFabby, your alabaster table is to die for, and I love the fun tablescape!

ReplyDeleteLove, Mona
Fabby, That is a really sweet seafood table setting. I love the square plates. You do have a fabulous view. It would so nice to have coffee and sit at that window. Blessings. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby so glad you stopped by. I live on the great St Lawrence River in upper New york. We don't have all the beautiful shells so my posts are about our river.I love all the unique dishes and can almost smell the sea. I have never seen the novel tea cups.I don't know much about your country but I am going to google it.
ReplyDeleteThis is just "Fabby-ulous"! Every detail is just perfect, and I love the combination of the wonderful colors and the seashell theme. Love it.
ReplyDeletePerfect summer table! Happy VTT! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby! I like coastal style so of course I love your pretty table. You have a beautiful view to enjoy while having dinner. Thanks for linking to the Open House party.
ReplyDeletexx,

I love beachy tables! What a fun one you have created! Thanks for linking up at TTF this week.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Your table is most definitely ready for the beach! very nice.
ReplyDeleteVelva
Fabby, I love this table. Oh heck, I love all your tables.
ReplyDeleteBeing allowed to run loose in your ceramics factory would be like a kid in the "Chocolate Factory".
I think I have seen the tureen before, I love the fish handle on top.The square plates I don't think I have seen. They are such beautiful colors and the little sherbet cup...just adorable.
Love to your, Ginger
I love your colorful table! The salt cellars are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteFabby - It wouldn't be summer unless we put together a beachy table, right? While I tend to go very pale with the beachy palette, like colors that have been washed out by the sun, you went for bolder pastels, like the ones we see in the Caribbean. My sister loved your table! The pilsner glasses are perfect to enjoy an icy-cold cerveza! Enjoy the summer, mi amiga!
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby, you are so sweet and such a dear friend, even though we've never met in person...God is good to give us all kinds of friends.
ReplyDeleteYour alabaster table and all the dishes and ceramics are so colorful and beautiful.
Your view from your window is breath taking! I can't imagine seeing that gorgeous view every day.
Hope you have a good weekend!
Hugs and love,
Fabulously fishy and fun! You have a lovely collection. Happy Pink Saturday from the UK!
ReplyDeleteYour tables are always so lovely, Fabby. The beach theme is light and pretty for summer time. I love the Starfish. Thank you for your comment today on my anniversary post. It touched my heart very much. That is truly special that you've been married 38 years, and I'm sure you had your share of hard times too. I guess it comes with the package.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Fabby.
Love,
~Sheri
Such a beautiful table setting! I love those ceramic pieces!

ReplyDeleteFabby, I'm still in beach mode, too and loving your tablescape. The seafood tureen is adorable..cute fish on the lid, and little sherbets.

What a fun place to dine! There is so much to see. I love surprises like using natural shells. The attention to even the tiniest of details is evident in your teensy little fishy salt cellars. You are Fabby!
