Hello sweet friends!
First of all, I wish all my Irish blog friends a wonderful St. Patrick's Day 2016, along with your families... and to the ones that enjoy this St. Pat's celebration as well.
I always use the green china made back at our Ceramic company, Monte Turi from many years ago.
I know the friends that follow me know that my inspiration for the pattern decoration for all the dishes I made; from the indigenous people of Ecuador's clothing customs and I was lucky to have found this pattern in the men's embroidered shirts, many years ago, as the collar and cuffs had shamrocks on them.
I also used the dinner green plates from last Mother's Day gift china and the shamrocks salad plates.
I will be joining Kathleen, at Cuisine Kathleen annual St. Patrick's Day Blog Crawl this Wednesday the 16th. Hope you do too.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO YOU ALL !

| I also baked an Irish Soda Bread from Pinterest. Easy and yummy! |
 |
| A very GREEN table in honor of ST. PATRICK'S DAY 2016. |
 |
| The dinner plate is from my last Mother's Day gift. The 'shamrocks salad plate' from our china designed by me and hand decorated by artists. The napkin ring in green was also made back at Monte Turi, our own ceramic factory. |
 |
| I also used the teacup saucer for the crystal sherbet. |
 |
| The "Irish Soda Bread" came out delicious. |
 |
| A while back a guest broke the eight green napkin ring, so I interchanged in each place setting a green one and a blue one like this one, as the china has blue as well. |
 |
| Finally the place setting with the sherbet to keep the greens light. |
 |
 |
| A little green plant as centerpiece... no biggie. The white birds are Salt & Pepper shakers. |
 |
| The "Irish Soda Bread" from Pinterest came out delish and what you see are currants. The grandgirls spread it with 'Dulce de Leche' and 'Blueberry Jam' too... yum! |
Thank you so much for your sweet comments, you always make my day!
Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.
LOVE,
FABBY

ReplyDeleteI believe that each of us is just a little bit Irish on St Patrick's Day Fabbie.
ReplyDeleteYour table is, as ever, a delight. Your gift for design is lovely to see - how wonderful that it is showcased in such a beautiful and useful way. I imagine that your granddaughters will view the dishes as precious parts of their heritage in the years to come.
Very beautiful, Fabby. Love the plates. Are they talavera? xoxo Su

What a pretty table for St Pat's day. I like when the tables don't scream out the holidays. I like it when they are subtle. The Irish soda bread looks so yummy too.

Fabby,
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful tablescape, my friend!! Just lovely!! I always love seeing all your beautiful dishes!!
Thanks so much for visiting!!
Hugs,
Deb
St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays because, for most of my life, I thought I was Irish (turns out, I'm Scottish!), and also because green is my favorite color. I love seeing it everywhere at this time of the year, and also the creative ways in which people employ it to make lovely table settings. Yours is beautiful here, and those salad plates make me swoon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and fun table Fabby! I love all the dishes from your factory, and those napkins rings are amazing. I notice you have animals on many of your pieces as lid tops, etc. Very fun.
ReplyDeleteThe Irish soda bread looks delicious! xo Deborah
ps I had to laugh, you were the first to comment on my post about my new red shoes. I should have known a post about shoes would attract your attention right away!! :) We are shoe lovers for sure.
What a pretty setting. Thank you for sharing at Simple Saturdays.
ReplyDeleteDearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteYour Saint Patrick's themed table setting is extraordinary.
Love the way you solved the missing napkin rings. Yep, china and crystal things do get broken by some guests.
Last dinner for Pieter's club I did not use my Baccarat crystal glasses; too risky for such a large group.
Wishing you also a meaningful St. Patrick's day.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello, Fabby! I love your pretty table, and the shamrock bordered plates are perfect with the bright florals. I'm (mostly) of Irish descent (Scotch Ulster, to be precise), and I still have decorated for St. Patrick's Day because Big Sis came home for Spring Break, and we were finishing a small kitchen project. But we will decorate today, and get ready for Pi Day tomorrow by baking a pie! :)
ReplyDeleteYour soda bread looks wonderful. Where did you find the recipe? I have a recipe, but I'm not crazy about it because I've had better. ;P
Have a blessed Sunday!
xo,
RJ
Gorgeous green themed table and your soda bread looks delicious. This post was truly a joy to read and I hope that you will continue adding your ray of sunshine every week on Thoughts of Home on Thursdays.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Fabby! I love the dishes you received last Mother's Day mixed with the other dishes for St. Patrick's Day! I've never made Irish Soda bread- I guess I should try it!
ReplyDeleteHow I would love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day at this wonderful table you have created! So many terrific "green" touches and that bread looks delicious. I really like those little candelabras with the green candles!
ReplyDeleteFabby, what an elegant St. Patrick's Day tablescape! Time to pull out all the green even if we're not Irish. The soda bread looks wonderful! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous table for St. Patrick's Day, Fabby! How very special that you had so much of yourself in so many of the pieces. I love the shamrock salad plate the most.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunningly beautiful table you set. It will make all your guest feel VERY SPECIAL, be they Irish or not.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day, "McFabby"...what a beautiful tablescape you created for your guests. Have a fun celebration!
ReplyDeleteJP
Fabby, you always come up with something beautiful and charming for holidays ... St. Patrick's Day is no exception ... and soda bread too!
ReplyDeleteFabby, your table looks very nice and festive with the green. I like the blue and green napkin rings because they pick up on the colours in your china. Your Irish Soda bread looks wonderful! I'm sure everyone will enjoy having a meal at your table. Thank you for sharing and linking up with me. Have a lovely week, my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Cearest Fabby your table is just beautiful with all the greens, just love it.. Happy Monday with love Janice
ReplyDeleteLove all the greens and celebration of the good saint! I just found out through DNA that I'm 1/4 Irish! Dancing a jig!
ReplyDeleteDear Fabby, Thank you so much for joining Blue Monday at Backyard Neighbor today. Thanks also for your very sweet sidebar comment about my Blog. Sally would be pleased to see so many of her friends joining up with Blue Monday and so am I.
ReplyDeleteI was so impressed with your beautiful dishes you used for St. Patrick's Day. the pattern is amazing and to think you saw it on some men's clothing and subsequently designed your china from your inspiration of the patterns on cloth. So clever and lovely. The green with blue touches are perfect for posting on blue Monday. The table is so lovely in every way.
Happy Blue Monday.
xo, Jeanne

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful St. Paddy's day sweet friend……..
Fabby, It is so interesting that you found the shamrocks on the clothing! I didn't think about them growing in Ecuador but as I have never been to South America I like to find out something new. I hope to go someday. Your plates are wonderful. It is such a treat for us to see these unique and beautiful pieces. Thank you for sharing~~happy St. Patrick's Day even if we aren't Irish! Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby,
ReplyDeleteThose dinner plates are GORGEOUS!! Your shamrock salad plates are charming, and those napkin rings are adorable! I bet this was a fun table to put together. :) Your soda bread looks wonderful; I plan to make some at home myself, this week.
Thanks so much for your visit and kind comments. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and have a great week!
Hugs,
Denise
Fabby,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtakingly beautiful, dear friend!
Every detail is exquisite!
I adore the china you designed!
HaPpY St. PaTrIcK's DaY!

Fabby, I was hoping you would use some of the dishes from your former factory...they are so beautiful. I almost drool every time you use any of your line of dishes. ♥ the rooster napkin rings. I have the same wine stems, they are my favorites and have them in black, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy SPD!
Hi Fabby! You always set a such a beautiful table! Your Irish soda bread looks good. I tasted it for the first time last week and I like it! :) Hope you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I haven't been visiting lately. I'm just down coming up from the doldrums of Ern's passing. I'm hoping once Spring arrives, everything will brighten up around here. (it SNOWED yesterday!)
Thanks for sharing your pretty things.
