FABBY: "White Scapes"

 I added photos to the tablescape of the coffee table decor in the living room.

 This Italian porcelain rockin horse is one of my favorite Christmas decoration pieces I have. 

This pretty porcelain santa I won several years ago teaching at the C'mas store how to decorate a tree, among other things as it was a $200 price.

 This is a beautiful tablecloth my mother gifted me for my birthday last year Oct.  20, 2010. I love the pretty and delicate embroidery in the middle of it and I took this picture before I fixed the table. The crystal centerpiece is Polish, you can use it as a candle holder with the gold wreath, or with flowers as I have done here.

 I used my White Scapes Noritake dishes to make a predominant white Christmas table.
 Here is the tablecloth hanging and the embroidery in the buttom is on an organza strip as the tablecloth is white satin...and yes, I've used it and got it dirty and it washes beautifully, not a hassle ironing at all, like the pure linen ones, lol.

 The stems are hand etched at the Chzech Republic, they're also almost my favorite ones too.



The center embroidery



Here I also used my pretty linen embroidery napkins.

The buttom embroidery  on the tablecloth.

   I haven't been able to visit some of you as I just came back today, Sunday 18th., from helping my daughter Sofia move to her new house, for which I'm so happy for her as it looks great...But, I'm totally exausted, moving is a titanic job, although they had done most of the moving.  The small things are very stressful and tires you out and many things were not concluding like her cable tv, they didn't come to connect them, until maybe Tuesday of this week coming and so I had no internet.  I will be visiting and thanking you  even if it's a little late.  I had a tablescape done with one of my fav dishes my Whitescapes Noritake...so here goes.

Wishing you my wonderful friends a very Happy Christmas and may God sends lots of blessings  to you and yours.  All the wonderful ladies that host each week such terrific and fun parties, with the only purpose for us to show off our lovelies. I also thank you so much and wish you all the happiness this Christmas along with your families.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Love always,
FABBY

FABBY: Entrance & Kitchen Christmas

Welcome to my house my friends, come on in please!  This is the entrance to our Pt. house and as soon as you come in you will see many vintage things, like the mirror which is framed with an antique piece that once belonged to Alejandro's grandparents, since the ceiling is not high as old houses were, we separated this part to the chest we have in the foyer, so it turned out great caz now we have two pretty pieces I love.  At the buttom there's a leather, almost 200 years old Spanish trunk, it was a gift from hubby's grandmother to him when he was young...they were used by Spaniards as luggage.

 The painting of the Virgin Mary is colonial art. The small hutch is an antique too and going that way you come into the den.  The door with the milky glass squares leads to the kitchen. In the top of the door a Russian icon.

 The Spanish leather colonial trunk, almost 200 years old.

 I arranged this pretty carved piece with the mirror like a mantel with my nutcrackers, another birthday gift from mother's a few years ago.  An image in the mirror of the door's wreath.

 The door is open my darlings, so come in please!

Welcome to my kitchen all done up for the Holidays Season. I'll just put on my apron hanging on one chair and serve you some tea, or coffee with cake.

 A little corner with some Christmas mugs.

My Christmas pitcher was made at our former Ceramic Co., with some flowers and a few mugs more. The blue one with the snowman is my very fav.

I saw this in one on your posts, a cookie pan with small candles and I was so lucky to have one with stars. The small saucer bowl is Italian and I use it for cramberry sauce.

My white porcelain two tier arranged with some ornaments and a Cherry-Yogurt cake, recipe at the end, it's yummy, believe me!

Next to the Christmas wreath I have a wall with my granddaughters's art work.

The tea set and the small mugs were made by us at our past Ceramic Co., I copied the design from a C'mas material.  All ready for tea or coffee with the Cherry-Yogurt cake.

I love the smoking German man, wood figure, my grands love to make him smoke, lol!

In the background, by the TV is a crack pot that I use as cooky jar come C'mas, was also made by us with C'mas designs, along with the S&P shakers. My old apron hanging on the handle of my double ovens it's so old and it looks very stained in real life,  but I love it. The red napkins were my Mil's, they're hand embroidered with a bird holding a bell, it's difficult to see, they're so small.

                                        SHERRY YOGURT CAKE

1/2 cup full plain yogurt
1/2 cup corn oil
4 Tbspoons cherry, or 2 ounces
1 egg
1 Tbspoon zest of a lime, or lemon
1 3/4 cup sifted flour
2 tspoons baking powder
1/4 tspoon salt
1 cup sugar

In a bowl put yogurt, oil, sherry, egg, zest, and mix by hand with wooden spoon. Now, dump the sugar and whisk.   Add all at once the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk, or mix with wooden spoon.  
Line buttom of 9 inch springform pan with partchment paper.  Bake at high oven, 400F for about 25 minutes, or check your oven.  Insert tooth pick in center and see if it's dry, than it's ready.

Thank you so much in advance my dear friends for coming to visit, as I so love you to come by.
I will also be at some of the great and fun parties that some wonderful ladies host them. Thank you sweet ladies for having me.

                                                  MERRY CHRISTMAS 

Love always,
FABBY

FABBY: Real Christmas Tablescape

I love this all embroidered Spanish tablecloth in satin, specially because it's so traditional and I love Christmas in the traditional colors. This is how my table will look for real Christmas Eve, except for the lack of flatware!  OMG!  I just noticed I forgot!  Oh well, I'll have them on for Christmas, I promise, LOL!!





The centerpiece I did with my bil's red roses from his rose-farm and I arranged them on my white soup tureen that was a gift from mother, several years ago, as it was hers for ever and I have fond memories.

Here is the pretty embroidery corner on the satin tablecloth.

The red stems are Italian from many years ago and the green I have for a long time too, I don't remember what they are.  The napkins are so pretty, I also got them in NY several years ago, 8 for $5.

 I love, love the embroidery on the tablecloth it got to me inmediately when I saw it, so I had to take it home with me and this was already, 8 years ago!

 The red chargers with my mom's doilys, so not to scratch the charger when we eat and the dinner plate moves around a bit.




 The tea, or coffee buffet for after, to enjoy with our cake and Holiday cookies.

 The tea, or coffee buffet.

The small buffet  here is an antique Egyptian piece hubby bought several years ago and I love the brass Egyptian designs in it, that's what got Alejandro when he saw it at an antique window shop in the capital. 

 I decorate the Italian brass chandy with small wreaths in each of the eight arms.
 The roses look like they're made of velvet.  I arranged the flowers in a non-chalantly way not so perfectly rounded, as I've done before in the crystal vases.

 I just added a couple of photos with the flatware, as it was bothering me too much, lol!

 The place setting with the red charger, dinner plate and soup bowl...and finally, regular Oneida flatware!


I ran a green ribbon and small green tree ball ornament, around all the eight silver napkin rings. 



 The entire tablescape.  The silver napkin rings with green ribbon and a green small ball.

This is how my tablescape for Christmas Eve will be...and Christmas Day too.  I always use my traditional Lynns Fine china, which hubby gifted me for a birthday, back 17 years ago and he gave me 16 place settings as he bought two sets of eight because we're usually 14.  We go for a fabulous lunch Christmas Eve at mother's house the whole family with the children too.
I love my traditional tablescape,  I usually feel the real Christmas spirit when I do my reds and greens!   Are you mostly traditional for the Christmas Holiday? 
Thank you my dear friends for visiting me, you know I love to have you and I specially appreciate your kind visits.  Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great and fun parties they host everyweek. 
Love you always,
FABBY
