Hello sweet friends!
I host in my house every month, the last Wednesday of each month a Rosary prayer with some friends.
I did pray for the friends that requested and I'm here to do so, always.
I used my very colorful, pottery dishes made back at my hubby's Ceramic factory he owned for thirty years and he sold it almost seven years ago. The tablecloth used was the one I hand embroidered in orange Fall leaves, some fifteen years ago .
This pottery has lots of oranges, yellows, browns and blues among other colors. It's my favorite china come Thanksgiving because of the warm colors and it looks good with pumpkins. I haven't used pumpkins here yet, but it's sort of a transition to Autumn tea table.
Ok, with that said, here it is.
This pottery set was made and decorated at our former Ceramic Co. Monte Turi. I have 350 pieces of it. Here is the link of the post I did a couple of years ago, in case you'd like to see them all: http://fabbysliving.blogspot.com/2013/01/fabby-350-pieces-of-my-pottery.html I used to design the decorations inspired in the Indigenous people of Ecuador's embroidered clothing. We had 15 designs that were made completely by hand by artists we had working for us. |
I hand embroidered this tablecloth in orange Autumn leaves, just for this set of dishes. |
I always associated this pottery design with Fall because of the oranges, yellows, browns, greens and blues. |
The embroidery in all four corners of the table linen is like this. |
And the embroidery in the center of the tablecloth I purposely did it like this, in order to frame any centerpiece I would make. A little half a papaya on the finial of the jam bowl; at your left. |
Sheep, duck and fruits in the finials. The original Spanish designs had animals and fruit in the top of the lids of every piece. |
A close up of some of the pieces specially for tea time. A little chicken, a half papaya and a cow on the lidded pieces. |
Thank you for your sweet and kind comments, you always make my day. Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

Hi Fabby! Oh, you've done it again! Your table looks wonderful! First of all, I am so impressed with your beautiful tablecloth you embroidered! It's gorgeous! I do needlework and know this must have taken a very long time to finish your stitches are so nice. Now this pottery is one of my favorites of yours. Love the little animals on the handles. What a lovely setting and I'm sure your prayer friends were so impressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to see me.

Shelia ;)
Fabby, your embroidered tablecloth is really lovely and perfect for the Autumn season. Your pottery is always nice to see and I love the sweet toppers you have put on some of the pieces.

Hope you will come and take a peek at my Lemon Zest post this week! Have a great week!
ReplyDeletePam
LOL,
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby, please forgive me. I left a comment about the beautiful tablecloth and somehow, did not "see" the blue. I was focusing on the embroidery.
Well, your blue tablecloth is perfect of course.
The tablecoth is so pretty! And the dishes look fabulous! Congratulations for the little one is coming. By the way I also live in Mallorca :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Pili
FIRST - You daughter looks lovely and so beautiful. Goes against all wife tales saying that mothers don't look their best when carrying girls. I guess when it's so loved and with such great genes mother always looks good. But Alejandra even goes a little far by looking even more gorgeous. So happy for her and you and I can't imagine the excitement as time to be, see and love this little girl gets near.
ReplyDeleteI love this gatherings of yours. Oh to gather in prayer and among so much beauty and thoughtful details by the best Host there is - That's what Heaven must look like ahahahah.
Thank you for sharing and inspiring,
Teresa
Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of a new grandchild, your daughter is beautiful!!! Fabby your table is beautiful, the tablecloth sets off the beautiful dishes!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your visit with your daughter and family
Have a great week, Karren
As always Fabby, beautiful table setting! I love the colors on the dishes and sweet details of cows, chickens... The tablecloth is simply beautiful and is perfect for your tablescape.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your daughter's pregnancy. She looks stunning!!!
I love your pottery and the tablecloth but your daughter is simply stunning! What a cute little belly! I know you are excited about your future grandbaby. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteDearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteWow, there always seems to be a connection... We got home from NYC after a 4-night stay at the Hyatt Place and guess who drove us to the airport? A taxi driver from Ecuador.
We did have a wonderful time with the best of summer weather for sight seeing and being on the ferry.
Love your warm table setting and very much also the embroidered leaves on the table cloth.
Your daughter Alexandra looks stunning at 7 months into her pregnancy and what a joy it must be for having her on your side. She is brave for still making that long flight across the ocean.
You asked how my family is doing. Talked to my Dad on Saturday and also to my youngest brother as it was his birthday and our 32nd anniversary of being immigrants. Dad had another test for his driver's license renewal and his eye sight was 80%, without glasses so he got his next five-year license and that means he can drive till the age of 99! Incredible isn't it?!
Sending you hugs and blessings,
Mariette
Awesome pottery collection! Many congrats on becoming a grandma. :) Your daughter is beautiful. Wish her a safe & easy delivery.
ReplyDeleteShe is just beautiful! Oh, to look like that when you were that pregnant!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun dishes for your tea. Isn't it fun to have a group that you get together with once a month.
Such beautiful colors in both your place settings and your tablecloth. Thanks for sharing at #OMHGWW
ReplyDeleteFabby, I've always loved this gorgeous pottery, and your tablecloth is beautiful. You are so creative. Those finials on the serving pieces are so nice. Your group is so lucky to be able to meet in your gorgeous home. Your daughter is gorgeous. Congratulations on the new grandbaby!
ReplyDeleteFabby, as always you create the most amazing tablescapes! And WOW - your daughter is absolutely gorgeous - and she looks that beautiful at 7 months? Well, let's just say she looks pretty like her mamma!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
