FABBY: Christmas Past Tablescapes


Hello sweet friends!

I just got back again from my daughter Sofia's as we attended the First Communion of a young g'boy of Alejandro's cousin. Everything was wonderful as usual.

I've had no time to do any posts these days, so as I was looking through my tablescapes and decorations at my blog-home from Christmas past, in order to start inspiring myself in decking the halls, I decided to re-post some of them.

Here they are:

Christmas 2010, before I had the French vintage table in the foyer, instead I had a red antique Chinese trunk from my Mil and I always used to take it out of the way to do the tree.
Christmas 2012 with my then new red transferware set for twelve place settings and my Lynn's Fine China Christmas dishes from almost twenty years ago.




Christmas 2011 table for my g'girls, with doggies.

Hanukkah Table 2012 for my Jewish friends.

Christmas with my everyday dishes for the Holidays.

Everything in this setting from 2011 was French, starting from the antique bowl, antique table with the marble and finally the dishes from my mother and goblets from my Mil.

Christmas 2010

Christmas 2011

Here you have some Christmas tables to start the "lovely season to be jolly."


Thank you sweet friends for your kind comments, you always make my day.

Thanking the lovely and gracious hostesses for having me at their fabulous parties.

LOVE,
FABBY

  1. Every single setting is beautiful!Just the shot in the arm I need to get me going! I am DE-decorating this week. Taking down ALL of my beloved fall and preparing to don the house in Christmas dress! As much as I love fall - I am ready for a change in seasons. It is cold in Texas this morning and going to get even COLDER today, tonight and tomorrow! Perfect weather for changing into winter decor!
    Now - as always - I'm going back to slowly savor all your lovely photos once more!

  4. I'm in love with the 2011 French Setting. So lovely. So soothing. PERFECT! For that lovely night or day.
    I'm running around trying to decide where I'll put the Christmas Tree... my home office went into that corner, remember?!
    Thank you for sharing your past Christmas. Always so much beauty and fun around you. Within too.
    Love,
    Teresa

  45. Fabby, I really enjoyed seeing past Christmas's. I love, love the aqua French setting, and of course your transferware. I am so excited. I just found a set of about 24 at a thrift shop. I will be putting on my shelf in the living room for Christmas. All plates, but I do have one bowl I picked up a while back. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
