Hello sweet friends!
The last Wednesday of each month I am assigned to have "Rosary Praying"gatherings; like some people, who get together for Bible Study. I have it with a group of my closest friends and Sils, here at my house. The first time I had eleven ladies, but normally they will be around fifteen.
We pray the 'Rosary' ( a Catholic prayer) for our families, friends, the country (I also pray for my country the USA as well) and peace for the rest of the trouble areas in the world.
Than after it we proceed to the dining room for some tea or coffee with just bread, marmalade and cheese. Nothing fancy, that's not the idea.
"Whenever you'd like special prayers I'm ready to oblige."
Here are my two tables, set for the after prayer simple tea party. I hope you like it.
 |
| My dear Mil's beautiful hand crocheted tablecloth as back drop for my Ecuadorian pottery, designed by me and inspired in the indigenous women lovely embroidered apparel. The pottery is entirely made by hand by a 'potter's wheel' as in colonial times and hand decorated by artists we had working for us, back at Alejandro's Ceramic Factory, Monte Turi. |
 |
| Look at the cute papaya on the lid of the marmalade bowl. |
 |
| Another marmalade bowl with an apple and half lemon. I cut the cheese in cubes so the ladies can just help themselves and don't have to be cutting it themselves. |
 |
| The big soup tureen had another use many years ago, 'before plastic'... and it was used as a container for keeping bread fresh, so I stored more bread there in case we needed to refill it, lol.. The tureen has a chicken on top of the lid too, as the Ecuadorians used to make them way back, as their 'special touch' to the pottery originally taught by the Spaniards in Ecuador and the rest of Latin America, of course. The forms I chose to make are original Spanish designs from colonial times, as well, specially in the big serving pieces. |
 |
 |
| I love the pitcher, where I put water, for some of the ladies who wish to have some. The blue glasses go well with the blues in the pottery. |
 |
 |
| I chose for the breakfast table another crochet tablecloth and the friends that follow me, may remember I "found it"half way made in a carton box in the cellar; from a girl that was crocheting iy for me, but immigrated to the USA ten years ago and used to clean my house twice a week, lol! Than after I found it, I had it finished by someone else. |

| Another cute marmalade bowl with a little chicken on top. |
