FABBY: July Rosary Gathering Tea


Hello my sweet friends!

      Here is another Rosary gathering with friends, that has come and gone, the last Wednesday of each month.
It seems I'm often sharing these tables but no, they're are each month it's just that time runs between our fingers and we are now celebrating the First of August, my goodness!

Wishing all of you a wonderful August and may God bless you too!


For the July Rosary I chose my ever lovely, ivory reticulated dishes. I might add it's a complete set for 12 with chargers, as well.

This set of dishes came with two pretty hurricanes too.

The tea set is from another ivory and lace pattern, as my dishes didn't come with a tea service, but they matched pretty well, as you can see here...right?

I also found this ivory bowl in another place a few years ago and it became a fruit bowl for the centerpiece, opposed to flowers for a change.

We had the usual food: 'home made bread, bakery bought bread and home made jams and cheese.'

Here are my homemade jams, blackberry and strawberry.
 
The small cloches were a giveaway I won from lovely Chie and they are four and came with their small and cute spoons.


I used the dinner plate as chargers for more of an effect and to add more lace volume.

 The set for 12 has soup bowls as well and big chargers. It also came with service bowls and long platters and I bought two extra chargers, to use as serving big round plates.
 


The runner was crocheted by mother as a set with the big tablecloth she made for me several years ago.

Some of the friends that follow me know that the yellow tablecloth I re- purposed when I changed my 'yellow silk moire' draperies from the living room and family room to 'Hunter Douglas' shades a little over two years ago.

Thanking you so much sweet friends for your lovely and kind comments, they always make my day!

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

LOVE,
FABBY

  3. What a beautiful table setting, Fabby! The runner made by your mother is truly exquisite. Making those beautiful pieces is such a lost art. How precious that you bring it out and use it for beautiful occasions! Thanks so much for stopping by Posed Perfection today and for following along. You asked about the party...it goes live every Wednesday night at 8pm central. I'd love for you to join me whenever you can. I'm going to go hunting for ways to follow you, as I don't see any buttons on your sidebar. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful posts!
    Blessings,
    Nici

  24. Fabby, you always create the most lovely tablescapes. I love the simplicity of this one, actually decorating with texture versus colour. It's gorgeous.

    I love the idea of hosting a Rosary Tea. I should do that with my church friends one day. It's a GREAT reason to gather together.

    God bless. Hugs.

  27. For the server, it is very important to stay clean and simple. The Abbey Brand Altar Server Front Wrap Alb is just for the servers of church and has been widely preferred as the classic cassocks all across the world. It comes with traditional design set, having long clean trails over white color fabric.

  36. Fabby, this table is gorgeous! I had seen your reticulated plates before, but they show so beautifully against the gold tablecloth! It's so nice that you still hold your at home rosaries. I used to be part of a group that held them regularly, but everyone moved away over the years and eventually, we had to stop them. It's such a lovely tradition!
