Hello sweet friends!
I decided to bake some chocolate scones today, but somehow they didn't come out that pretty, but they are delish! However, the 'ugly scones' inspired me to create a vignette in my breakfast nook in the kitchen and it'll stay like that for a while...without the ugly, but yummy scones, lol!
The motif for this vignette is mostly to have tea with Mother, Alejandro, Alexandra my DD, who has been visiting us for the last two weeks from the capital and now she's leaving us Sunday and I'm missing her already!
We've been having a wonderful time with her lovely, cheery and fun company.
Ok, here it is, hope you like it!
 |
| Here you have it, ready for Mother, hubby, DD Alex and me. Tea and scones in my vintage Oriental bone china dishes. |
 |
 |
 |
| The pattern in this vintage bone china dishes is very springy, with pretty cheery flowers and butterflies, as you can appreciate it here. |
 |
 |
| More singing birdies here. |
 |
| The ugly, but yummy scones! |
 |
| Baby birdie waiting for his mama! |
 |
| Look how cute and funny he is..lol! |
 |
| More birdies perched on a bowl. This bowl was made at our former Ceramic Co. |
 |
| Besides the large bread bowl I use in the Fall, I also have this small wooden one, where I normally keep the fresh fruit in the kitchen and it has a sparkly gold wash. |
 |
 |
| Mama bird feeding her baby in the mouth. This bowl was hand made back at our Factory and designed by me. |
 |
| At left this adorable porcelain egg tray I found recently and loved it! |
 |
| I hope to see you all at Kathleen's new challenge: "BIRDS, NESTS and EGGS" at Cuisine Kathleen. |

| Here you have it, my Spring vignette in the kitchen nook. I will be joining Kathleen's challenge "BIRDS, NESTS and EGGS" at http://cuisinekathleen.blogspot.com I love the hand decorated, stained glass sky light on top; with hummingbirds and roses. In real life the colors are intense when lighted at night. One of these days I'm gonna paint the Duncan Phyfe chairs white, or ivory!

Fabby, Your stained glass sky light is just gorgeous....I love it! Some of my best tasting food had little to no eye appeal..lol! Hugs, Penny
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely. That cute little bird was my favorite. Thanks for a delightful visit for Pink Saturday.
ReplyDeleteFabby, I think you need to make a book of your wonderful table setting and table scapes. All are so pretty. Enjoy your weekend, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Fabby. I love all your sweet spring birds and that gorgeous dishes.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
Your Spring vignette is just gorgeous, Fabby. I bet you are going to miss your daughter. The house always seems a tad empty when they leave, doesn't it? Your china set is so pretty and the scones might not be beautiful but if they taste good-well, who cares?
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you my beautiful friend- xo Diana
Your china goes with you beautiful stained-glass skylight Fabby! I bet you will miss Alexandra, but I'm sure she'll miss you just as much!
ReplyDeleteEverything you do is just so pretty!!! You even turn your so called 'ugly' scones into a beautiful post!!
ReplyDeleteDear Fabby,
ReplyDeletehaven't been here for a long while but I must say, you are still fabbyolous. Such a pretty kitchen vignette. I loves especially the birds bowl. So sweet. Even you kitchen sit very elegant. Thank you for sharing and many sweet comments before.
Best greetings, Johanna
Your kitchen is perfect with the sleek kitchen and the simple stools. The choice of bright color theme is popular for this minimalist area. White color is great for this kitchen design with small space. The ultramodern kitchen looks sleek and clean with the contemporary kitchen with the black simple stools.

Fabby, those "ugly" scones wouldn't last 10 minutes around here! They DO look delish. Your Springtime vignette is so festive and welcoming, and I'm sure your sweet family has enjoyed it while they're with you. So glad you were all together for awhile!
ReplyDeleteDearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteLovely display with birdies in your kitchen and the most darling ones are indeed in the sky light on top!
You wrote that you would love to see the antique gold rose pendant hang around my pretty neck. But the fact is that I do run a Boutique on line where it is listed; those are not personal items...

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Oh I can only imagine how delicious the scones are, and your tea setting is so beautiful. I love the fabulous dishes you designed for your ceramic shop, they are always so beautiful to see. Gorgeous tablescape.
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby! I love all the little birds. Very beautiful and your sky light is bteath taking!
ReplyDelete"Fabby's Living" has been included in the A Sunday Drive for this week. Be assured that I hope this helps to point even more new visitors in your direction.

Very springy indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are a master in combining matching colors! Even the golden brown eggs...
Hi, Fabby!!! Such pretty dishes and flowers for such a pretty lady!
ReplyDeleteNo worries that the scones weren't as pretty as you would have liked. I long ago stopped worrying about the way food looks. I'm ALL about the taste!!! I'm glad you all enjoyed them!
Hi Fabby, it looks like you had a beautiful tea! I love the china and it's so cheery and perfect for spring and easter. Have a wonderful day.

Hi Fabby,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a wonderful visit with your daughter and family. Family is precious! Love your spring theme tea table. I have never made chocolate scones but I just came across a recipe and one of these days, I'm going to try it. I really like your bowl with the cute birdies on it. Thank you for sharing at Tea Time and have a lovely day, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi
Fabby, your tables are always so lovely. A perfect spot for tea and friends.

Your kitchen spring vignette is lovely, especially with all the birdies joining us.
ReplyDeleteI love your skylight too - lucky you!
Another lovely table setting. Those birdies are so cute. And love the bright and cheerful dishes.
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful to visit you and sit down to your table and have tea. I love your vignette with the mother bird and nest. Your tea set is gorgeous with the yellow and gold flowered pattern. This the perfect way to celebrate Spring!
ReplyDeletePam

ReplyDeleteHi Dear Fabby! Oh, another gorgeous table. Your dishes are so pretty. I don't think you've ever shown us the same set twice! :) Never mind that the scones don't look the way you think they should, just as long as they're yummy! Oh, how beautiful your sky light it! Your pretty dishes look like they were made to go with your sky light! Glad you've been having such a nice time with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Wish I was there with you having one of those scones and enjoying your tablescape! Those birds and nests just scream spring! Enjoy it! PS. I LOVE your stained glass above your head, that is truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove the skylight and your spring flowers. The tea set is very much a celebration of spring. Birdies too! I bet the chocolate scones were delicious! Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteLove your skylight too. You had me a bird nest and birdies; just love them and your table is so CREATIVE!
ReplyDeleteWow....the food looks great to me! plus the skylight and those fantastic dishes...what time do we eat? I'm coming over!
ReplyDeleteOh my dear, you are so much more than ready! And, yes, I see your silver dome on the header, just beautiful. All of us who appreciate this type of thing should be so thankful we have ours, they are slowly disappearing. Beautiful table. Wish I were closer, I would stop in to see you. Big hug, Fabby!
ReplyDeleteLove the gold tones in the dishes! Very pretty setting! Celeste
ReplyDeleteIt all looks great, Fabby! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHello my dear Preciousa Mia,
ReplyDeleteGraciosness... don't you think the set is for me? Just loving the Asian look. I remember dear old grandma's treasures. I just don't know where they are now.
Hope you have a wonderful mid-week. I just want you to know that I so much appreciate every lil prayers you and your lovely friends offer for me and my safety. I also pray you and your family to keep safe and healthy. You are all in our hearts.
Thank you dear Fabby. Keep praying and miracles coming in our paths.
God Bless You all.
Much hugs,
/CC & family
Oh Fabby, I love that bowl. I love the way the bright, beautiful birds look as if they are chirping to each other. This vignette definitely looks like Spring with the bright floral dishes and the birds (in nest and on bowl). laurie
ReplyDeletePretty Fabby!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual, Fabby! Those birds are so cute and of course the china set is so pretty. The scones look delicious....Christine
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen Fabby, the skylight is just fabulous! I think I enjoy seeing the table set in the kitchen best of all. Your china is beautiful and the table looks lovely all set for Spring.
ReplyDeleteThat stained glas skylight is fabulous! Your table is so inviting- I just want to grab a cup and saucer, and the scones and join you for a bit! Those plates are so pretty- and the bird in the cloche is adorable! I love the details here including the flowers laying so nicely on the plate- lovely job!
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby! Nice stack of goodies for Kathleen's challenge.
ReplyDeleteNow, if this isn't cute I don't know what would be! Little bird is on the top...gorgeous setting!
ReplyDeleteVery nice dishes--the yellow and oranges are very pretty. Chocolate scones sound delicious--I haven't tried any yet, but I'm thinking I should soon :).
ReplyDeleteLovely table as always, Fabby! Cute dish with the mama bird feeding the baby! Chocolate scones sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
You have so many pretty birdies! I like that cute little fat bird! I bet the scones were delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe stained glass sky light is really beautiful!
No, no, don't paint that chair white! :-)

It doesn't have to look good to taste good, although I thought they looked fine! I love your pretty dishes, and the cute little bird in the nest under glass was a great, whimsical touch.

ReplyDeleteLove your bowl you designed and the handpainted eggs with the cute kissing birds. So many cute elements. Love the china too.
How much fun is this! The design for your tea party is charming...love the stacked cups and saucers. I know that your family time was so special. Thanks for inviting us for a peek. Cherry Kay

What an adorable breakfast nook!!!
Fondly,
Pat

Pretty eggs, and delightful set up. I am sure the scones taste yummy! Thanks for joining in the challenge!
