FABBY: Christmas Foyer and Living Room-Tour 2

Hello sweet friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving.

I'm sharing my Foyer and Living room all decked for Christmas 2014, Tour 2.

Like I said before, I don't do great changes, I just add to what's always there and I use some of my fave pieces like this tiered blue and white Meissen server. I just add more or less and here and there, no biggie; so I hope you don't get bored, lol!

Ok, here goes some pics of a part of the house. I will post next the den where everything happens, tree and mantel... actually C'mas itself!

                                    'HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON'

The antique French table in the foyer decorated for Christmas.

The Chinese secretary

The foyer's chandy is got some blintz too!

The living room

The antique heirloom Virgin Mary is center attention this Christmas too.

One end table with an angel...(sorry the ugly cables from my computer system at left)

My little marble end table gets a candle too.

The other end table with a German Santa. I also love candles!

 

This pretty ceramic C'mas ball with a scented candle was a gift from my DD Alexandra a few years ago.

I'm so glad it's 'beginning to look like Christmas' around here. 

The antique Chinese 'camphor' chest.

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

LOVE,
FABBY

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties, specially the sweet ones that honor me by featuring me at their wonderful parties.

FABBY: Tartan and Burlap for November's Rosary and Tour 1

Hello sweet friends!

   Here is my tables for November's Rosary gathering. I've set two tables: In the formal dining table with a new pretty tartan tablecloth I found recently, quite inexpensive and a gorgeous Christmas printed burlap square tablecloth for my round table.

We are going on a tour to the Ecuadorian Orient with my brother Joe and my Sil, Alejandro's sister...yes, we are married brother and sister and vice versa, lol..

However, on Thursday very early will be traveling and I so wish you and yours a very blessed and happy Thanksgiving day and weekend. Enjoy every minute with your dear ones.

This one is a 'small tour of the breakfast area and formal dining room' and simple, not over done Christmas vignettes I've created for my holiday décor.
I'm all decked out for the Christmas holidays and for the Rosary tea tomorrow, so there will be Tour2 and 3, which will be the kitchen.

I was so lucky to find this pretty plaid tablecloth with twelve napkins and napkin rings quite inexpensive for this Christmas.
I am using it now for the Rosary gathering.

I have a complete Christmas dinner china for 16 place settings Alejandro gave me for my birthday some 20 years ago...at least!
The dishes are 'Lynn's Fine China.'

As chargers for the tea places I used my reticulated dinner plates...they also helped to make a nice contrast with the plaid in the spread.
The center triangle is of a gold chiffon I used for creating softness for the centerpiece.

I also found on sale this lovely branch with an adorable bird nest and a cute little nest too; that I've used as the centerpiece.
I will need space for the food, so this is pretty, but simple at the same token.
I added the ceramic birdies.

The vignette on the left side of the buffet and I added one of my fave pieces, the porcelain Italian toy horse that's been around many years.

On the right side of the buffet the vignette has dishes from our past Ceramic Co. and this lovely angel in green velvet. All the pieces have seeing many a Christmas.

The antique Egyptian console has a vignette with a Nativity under the cloche.

The door with the wreath leads to the kitchen.

A close up of the Nativity under glass.

This small antique console belonged to my In-laws, where I created a small and simple vignette with antique books.
This little table is right at the small entrance to the master bedroom.

Not a very good pic, but chandy also got some blintz for the Christmas season.

Tour No.2 will be the foyer, entrance, living room and den, where the fire place mantel and tree is up.

I'm way crazy about this Christmas printed burlap table topper, which is a new find this year as well.

Some of my friends will have to confirm their assistance to the Rosary, so I kept it uncluttered for the food and maybe two more place settings.

Italian red and green glasses and the pitcher was made by us and set up in our heirloom nesting tables. 
Some ladies might wish some water after tea time.

In the antique English heirloom buffet is a tray with the teaset, designed and made at our former Ceramic Factory. I will use it for the round table.

And opposite, a simple vignette on our Belgium buffet with a tall, skinny wooden angel and German Santa. I haven't moved anything from here as is all year round. 
All my vignettes are not overdone with holiday décor, but just enough.

Isn't it such a pretty burlap material on this tablecloth?
It is also my first 'burlap' anything, lol!

This is it, my November's Rosary gathering for prayers and a small tour of the dining areas. 
We will pray for all the sick we know, so you can count on it if you wish. Piece in the world and the countries we live in and our dear families.
Thanking all the goodness we have received , from our 'Lord Jesus Christ.'

Wishing all of you a very happy and beautiful Thanksgiving day sweet friends and thank you for your kind visits, you so make my day!

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.
A special thanks to the ladies that support me by featuring my posts and they honor me so.

LOVE,
FABBY

FABBY: Blue and White for Thanksgiving 2014

Hello sweet friends!

    I don't have transfer ware in brown, but I will be in the look out, so I can start a 'new color' collection, as I do have plenty dinnerware in blue and a big tea set for 12 place settings in the red.

I've never set a table with my blue and white for Thanksgiving, except with my others with oranges and Fall colors before, but Alejandro just loves the blue, so I thought this year I will go for it.

Here it is, I hope you like the blue and white for Thanksgiving 2014 and all the way from here I'm already wishing all of you a wonderful and blessed day and weekend of Thanks.




My blue and white Thanksgiving table for 2014

The wooden dough bowl as centerpiece decorated with just pinecones and flanked by my two amber Portuguese candle holders, for an Autumn touch.

Amber Italian wine glasses paired with blue water glasses.
Silver Fall leaves napkin rings.

This pretty pattern is 'The Queen's Silver Jubilee, 1977.' Staffordshire, England.

This one is so pretty! Enoch-Wedgwood, 'Asiatic Pheasants'

I love this salad or entree plate! Johnson Brothers-INDIES

Always a classic-'Liberty Blue.'

Silver Fall leaves napkin holders

The 'Royal Mail'

Great for serving the turkey in this 15-inch 'Friendly Village' platter; a find from a couple of months ago.

For the veggie salad in the 'Friendly Village' tureen, or wild rice with pinecones, or even the stuffing.

Here is another shape of a Fall leaf napkin ring.

 Glass and pewter water pitcher; to blend with the pewter chargers and bread plates...and of course, my 'Reed and Barton' flatware.

Some of the pinecones are sprayed painted in gold for a little glitter.

Enoch Wedgwood-'Woodland' stack of plates at your left, along with my mud 'Ducky.'

There is so much to be thankful to our 'Lord Jesus Christ,' specially for our family, for our wonderful friends, including all of you my bloggy pals...for our health, the food in our tables and the house we live in...and so much more we have in the material sense that satisfies our daily needs.'

'Thank you so much dear God' and keep blessing all our families and friends.'

Thank you so much for your sweet and kind visits my friends, as you always make my day!

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.
I specially thank the generous and supportive hostesses; I'm honored to be featured at their memes.

My Kitchen was featured in a tour at: "Oh My Heartsie Girl"...beautiful blog party.

Thank you so much sweet Karren, I am very grateful, as this is my first tour featured!
