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

Last Easter Sunday table for a Family Luncheon

Hello sweet ladies !

I'm late cause I changed my mind about my Easter table, as you know I love creating new tables, it makes me so happy and giddy cause of my passion for dishes, china, glasses, linens, flatware, flowers, etc. You know !

We were so lucky to have had our daughter and her family visiting us for the whole week before Easter Sunday.

So here is the table setting before it was a mess with me serving and everything else, you know what I mean.

Along with my creamware, reticulated china, I used my 'Easter-Egg salad plates,' that I love.

Hope you all had a great 'Easter Sunday of Resurrection,' as we did.

With that said.

This was a real tablescape for Easter. We had our daughter Sofia and her family. We enjoyed it so much and celebrated "Resurrection Sunday" with much love.

Whenever I use this Easter Egg salad plates people ask me about them, as much as the 'Creamware reticulated china.'

The salad plates are: 'Gold Buffet - Royal Gallery.' Made in Sri Lanka. They come in a box of four. I have two boxes.

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

Thanking the lovely hostesses for their great parties.

LOVE,

FABBY

TABLE FOR SIX. HAPPY EASTER 2021

Hello sweet friends !

I do hope you are all off to a good start of Holy Week, leading to Easter Sunday.

I created an Easter table for six, in the hope that we are at least six, instead of just the two of us all the time.

I was so inspired in my couple of bunny planters from last year and this year I found a bigger mother bunny with baby.

I simply love them, because I think this way, the bunnies add to the Spring decor with flower plants and for Easter Sunday coming, as well.

Anyhow, here is my contribution to my Easter tablescape 2021.

Have a wonderful 'Holy Week' you all and a greater 'Easter Sunday.'

I know I will, as my sweet elderly mother, 91 years old, got vaccinated against COVID just a couple of hours ago.

All went perfect !

May blessing showers pour your way.

The bunny family.

My dear daughter and family are visiting and she wanted me to bake her fav cake, as she used to eat it all as soon as she hit the kitchen door after she came home from school !
