August Rosary-Prayers for Texas


Hello sweet friends!

As most of the friends that follow me know that I hold a rosary prayer here at home, the last Wednesday of every month to pray for world peace, for Ecuador and the USA and for sure everyone in our families, as well as for friends that have requested and we are specially praying for a good blog friend as well, may she wins the battle she's enduring.

We are including prayers for Houston-Texas this month; hopping the flood provoked by hurricane Harvey's wrath to all the people in the affected zones that are enduring right now, as I type this words.

May our Lord, Jesus Christ with His power and Glory gives them the strength they need and that everyone is safe.
 
We also beg our Lord to make it stop very soon. Amen.

Blessings for Texas and to each one of you.

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

Fall vignettes and Ideas from Past Posts


Hello sweet friends!

Here are some images from past blog posts for Fall, as I am getting a little inspired myself and I'm trying not to repeat my posts from the past.

I don't overdo the decorating, as I hate to start moving the things I already have on a regular basis; so I work around them.

So lets see some of them together.










 























Of course there are lots more from my seven years of blogging, but these are the ones I found easily.

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

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

LOVE,
FABBY

Table Spread for "Tea-Day 2017"


Hello sweet friends !

     For "TEA DAY 2017" I have created a table with a hand crochet table topper, my 'Old Country Roses' Royal Albert three tier; from Madrid - last May I got for MD from hubby and the plate from DD Alex.

 The tea set and teacups are antique from after WWII and they are Bavarian-Made in US-ZONE, Germany. I once read that these things were made in Germany around 1946-1948.

Tomorrow that mother comes to spend the day with us we will have tea time afternoon and devour enjoy all these goodies I have displayed here, lol... 

Ok, here you have it and I hope you enjoy it too.
 
       
 
The only thing I didn't mention at the top is that the salad plates are from my Tognana china, dinnerware  from Italy. I realized that the porcelain color is exactly alike the German tea set; plus the color of the design as well.
 

Sweet Cinnamon rolls here too.
 
 
I love cheese with my bread, so there it is at your right.
 

My mother's favorite 'Vanilla Pound cake. '
 
 
 
The beautiful Bavaria, antique US-ZONE, Germany tea set. I read that they were made around 1946 until only 1948, this makes them collectors items.
 
One of my fav china is this lovely Italian-Tognana dinner ware for eight place settings that
I own for maybe more then 30 years.
 
Didn't they matched really perfect!
 

 
 
 
This pretty white tureen is my new find from a couple of months ago.

It says Honk-Kong in the back and it has 'Fleur de Lys' all around it and in the lid as handle too and it looks like it would be part of my lovely white pitcher !

The best part is that it was only $20... so I couldn't pass it up, it kept on screaming my name...hehehe

It has an old world charm to it that I love.
 

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

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

LOVE,
FABBY

July Rosary Prayer - Tea Table & More


Hello sweet friends!

Not much more to say here, except most of you who follow me know I have a gathering of ten, more or less friends who come to my house for Rosary prayers, the last Wednesday of each month and I offer them right after a 'humble tea' with just bread, cheese and home made jam or marmalade.

We pray for anyone who requests for something special as family, friends, the sick, our children, the country, etc. You can make requests, we very happily and gladly oblige dear friends, so please feel free.

Blessings to you all.



This is a vintage bone china, complete for eight place settings.
For this month's Rosary prayers I used just the tea set, cups and saucers and two small bowls for the jams.

I usually take this dinner set out in the Fall, paired with orange rimmed big dinner plates as chargers. The real dinner plates are here for the tea set as they are a bit smaller then modern ones.

The blue and orange hand embroidered tablecloth was made by me, around 25 years ago and the leaves are sort of Fallish too.

I love the mums design along with butterflies and yes, it's a vintage classic Asian design
 
The color of the 'Alstroemedia' pick up one of the same color mums in the china too.

I buy this lovely and inexpensive flowers every two weeks at my local supermarket. Always love the fresh and pretty sight at home.


My new 'Zebra' variety plant I replaced the Lucky Bamboo with on my favorite blue and white vessel, most of you have seen in this 'blue and white' corner of my dining room. 


I took the 'Lucky-Bamboo,' that had grown so much, to the family room. I will share with you that when I decorate for Fall.

On the other side of the table I used my also, antique from the 30's Japanese, "Satsumi-Kutani" tea set. This way the ladies can help themselves to more tea, coffee, etc.


Looks like my dining room is getting bluer and bluer (smile)... and white ! 



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

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

LOVE,
FABBY
