FABBY: A Simple Lace Tablescape


Hello sweet friends!

      I am joining Kathleen's at Let's Dish for her new challenge...a NEW table with NO Easter!

My table setting is simple, inspired in the lovely lace-cut work tablecloth, which I haven't used it yet and bought on sale last year sometime.

The reticulated chargers and teacup-saucers; my mother's lovely vintage aqua 'French Limoges' set of dishes and lace napkins to close this 'simple lace table scape.'

I hope you like it!


My inspiration for this table scape is this lovely lace cut work tablecloth I bought on sale last year.

Therefore, along with mother's French Limoges dishes she gifted me several years ago...I used reticulated chargers, lace napkins and the reticulated teacups and saucers, instead of the aqua ones.

The fresh bouquet of flowers I bought today in the grocery store for $. 1,15.
The etched stems are Viennese and I used only the wine ones, so to keep the setting in the 'ethereal side.'

I love the center lace in the cloth.



The Limoges dishes are aqua and ivory, (not white).

I adore fresh flowers and always have them at my house to cheer me up and enjoy them.

Alejandro gave me this past February for our 39th. Anniversary this gorgeous 'Fleur De Lys' Portuguese pitcher, which I can't seem to stop using it with flowers, lol!

The stack of dishes and ivory flatware to match, except the light made them appear yellow !



The napkins are ivory with lace too, as are the lacy saucers in the teacups.
The napkin rings are wooden animal print.

Thank you so much for visiting me dear friends, you always make my day!

Thank you Kathleen and the other hostesses for having me at their great parties.

LOVE,
FABBY

  6. I love how the cutwork dishes complement the cutwork dishes, dear Fabby. Your idea of always having fresh flowers to cheer you is one that I need to borrow. xo

  15. The Triumph of Femininity. or a Hymn to it. That's what I'd call this setting. WOW!
    Dear Fabby I believe that's hopless romantic and lovely. I already envied those chargers before but paired with Mother's Lovely China I was floored.
    So much beauty and whimsy created, Dear Friend!
    Tablecloth is precious too and again Lace is something so Feminine. Even more Spartans Eras - like Victorian - reserved that exquisite detail for the most important moments of your life.
    You throw grand big parties but when in a small one you seem to be even better... or it is the case that I don't get lost in so much lovely details so easily ahahahah
    Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
    Teresa
