A Summer Inspiration Table for Father's Day 2021

Hello sweet friends !

 I hope all is well with each one of you. 

I created a tablescape for Father's Day, using a china that my mother gave me, with green mums, it seems. You see and tell me if they look like mums to you too. Anyway, I love it, it's very pretty.

I paired it with 'entree' fish Italian transferware plates. 

The centerpiece is French 'Art Nouveau,' that my husband inherited from his Father's side of the family and it has the initials like us, C.A. I really love this piece, which for my Father's Day Summer tablescape I filled it up with seashells I've collected thru my trips to the beach.

With that said, I wish you a wonderful and happy Father's Day with your husband's, dad's, FILs, grandfathers, and even to celebrate your sons that are fathers, even if some of us just remember our own dads in heaven.

Happy Father's Day.



I do think this pretty china that was my mother's, looks like the print are mums, don't you ?


                       This is a cute small Johnson Bro. fish plate




             The china is complete for eight place settings and serving pieces, plus teaset and cups and saucers.






                    Lots of fish around, so maybe I will cook something in the seafood, or fish order, for Sunday Father's Day 2021.










I think the entree fish shaped plates are so cute for serving fish chips or even a seafood dish 







I love this beautiful antique 'Art Nuvou' hubby inherited from his mom, but was from his dad side of the family.
As you can see, it has a monogram with our initials as a coincidense, so my MIL left it to her son.

Thank you so much for your sweet visit, your comments make my day !

Thank you for hosting great parties lovely ladies.

LOVE,
FABBY

A 15th. Birthday Tea Party

Hello sweet friends !

I'm so sorry again, but we went to our daughter Sofia's house three hours drive to mind the kids, as she and her husband traveled to Miami to get vaccinated faster. So now they're vaccinated and we are very happy.

On top of everything I couldn't take my computer there cause it was acting up again and finally it stopped working... for the second time !

I took to the computer expert, because obviously he didn't fix it well the first time. Ok, he said it was the hard drive, so now here it is again. Next time I'm getting a new one.

So last week the young daughter of a cleaning lady I know became 15, and it's like been Sweet Sixteen in the USA. Therefore, I baked a cake and had a tea party for her.


This adorable tea cups and saucers, along with a chocolate pot was my mom's. She had it for a long time, as she always used to host tea parties with her friends.




The adorable, bisque cache pot with the flowers, is French. I bought it at the antique shop several years ago. 

I made the arrangement for Sofia on it, the 15 year old birthday girl, cause I thought it was perfect for her.


              I baked her favorite Chocolate Cake




                             In this case I used the chocolate pot for tea.


                             Sorry about the cable hanging on my window, but they haven't come to fix it as of yet.






Thank you so much dear friends for your kind comments, you always make my day !

Thanking the gracious hostesses for their great parties.

LOVE,

FABBY

Magnolias for Mother's Day 2021

Hello sweet friends !

I just arrived after spending two weeks at my dear Sofia's house, about three hours away from us. We went to stay with their three kids, our two teenagers and baby boy almost 2 1/2. 

Therefore, again I haven't been around blog land, because time is the least I had.

Anyway I'm back and I'm sharing my 'Mother's Day' tablescape in honor of my sweet mother who is 91 and not to well in her mind, (she forgets a lot.)

I thought of her when I started this tablescape, specially cause she loved this china I brought from Madrid three years ago and I used it for four guests on Mom's Day in her honor, that same year.

I wish everyone of you a wonderful and blessed Mother's Day tomorrow. If you are a mother, a grandmother, or even a great grand ! Of course if you have a dear mother in your life, much more so.


I bought this "Magnolia" bone china dinnerware on my last trip to Spain, to visit our daughter Alexandra who lives there. 

The beautiful store is "El Corte Ingles" and it's what's on the back of the plates. The sales lady told me they were specially manufactured for their store from Portugal.






                I happen to 'ran' into this pretty "runner" with a Magnolia motiff and thought perfect for my Magnolia china for Mother's Day.


               I tried not to cover the Magnolia in the runner, although the center part is.






                             Baked a 'Marble Cake' for my mother who loves it !






                   Flowers from the condo's garden.


                                "Marble Cake" recipe from an old Good Housekeeping magazine. The best, I've made it for decades!




                       

                           Thank you so much dear friends for your sweet comments, you always make my day !

Thanking the lovely hostesses for their great parties and for so many features I am honored with, from some of you.

                                            LOVE,

                                             FABBY

A Garden Table and Blue Danube china

  Hello sweet friends !

So I just fell in love with this cheerful and summery, blue and white floral tablecloth and it immediately came home with me !

I created this tablescape with lots of flowers in the center of the table, that's why I call it "garden table" and my Blue Danube, Onion china.

If this COVID situation goes away slowly because we are getting vaccinated, as hubby and I got. I would love it to be my first table to celebrate with siblings, or some friends.


Wishing each one of you and your families to continue living with careful and safe measures, until we are protected again and everyone can feel comfortable without the fear of COVID "stalking us." 

Blessings.


This floral tablecloth I recently acquired, as I immediately fell in love with it, inspired me this "Blue and White Spring table," with a "flower runner."




                  I used my beloved Blue Danube, Onion china.










              This would be my first dinner party I'll make after COVID restriction, which I have hope it will be, probably, next year ?




              Don't you love the tablecloth, like me ?


              The etched glassware is Venetian.


Thank you dear friends for your kind comments, you always make my day !

Thanking each lovely lady for taking the time to host the great parties.

LOVE,

FABBY
