FABBY: Pink with Silver

The Spanish, organza tablecloth on top of a pink plain one.
I used my glass lazy-susan to put a few silver things with some porcelain things.

The wine is faux-rose.
This porcelain small house is a box for mints,  with  pink roses and doves on the roof.
This cute little hand made basket with a pink rose was made at our former Ceramic Co. and we gave it as favors at our daughter Alexandra's First Communion.
I used my pewter chargers with a doily specially  crochetted by my mother to be used on chargers.
The Italian Tognana, dinner plate...this china is one of my very fav, I love the design with the pink roses, too.
With the salad plate.
I used the sherbit vintage, Vianese glasses that belonged to my husband's grandmother, instead of the soup bowls.
The etched stems are Bohemian from the Czech Republic.  Pink napkin ring from our past Ceramic Co.
The buffet in the background, set for after dinner coffee, or tea.
The cutout pretty tablecloth.
The buffet's ready for after dinner coffee, or tea with sterling tea pots...the one in the center and the small tea pot at left and the tray in the stand,  are vintage from my mil's wedding. The tea pot at right is from our personal tea set, bought in NY in the early  80's
The glass lazy-susan is really great, we use it everyday, with our daly things.  The silver sugar bowl with a vintage silver sugar spoon. The small cloche with a vintage silver bell, that was used to ring the maid to come clear the table.
The buffet with the Tognana cups.
The cups with a pink rose as well.
I love this Italian vintage porcelain tray with little "putinos", playing the harp and the other, the flute, with some chocolates for after dinner.


I love this vintage English buffet that belonged to my husband's grandfather, with the old fashion big keys.  We keep it in our informal dining room side, along with our round table, which is adjacent to the formal dining room, this way we can use it when we have more guests for dinner.
This sterling bowl is an antique turn of the past century, it belonged to my mil's great aunt.  I've use it before with small buns for dinner.
The full tablecloths.   Bellow is a Turkish chair, with wolves at the end of the arms; I usually keep it next to the round table and now it's holding my mil's, pink "poncho-shawl." I love unusual chairs
     I always loved pink with silver since I saw a shepherd's tunic at a little girl when I was in grade school,  it was pink with silver piping and silver sash and I just remember thinking it was gorgeous and how lucky that girl was to be wearing such pretty tunic!   I made a tablescape, with one of very favorite china sets, my Italian Tognana with pink flowers, too...  remembering how pretty pink with silver was!   Hope you like it as I do.   Thank you so much in advance my friends for your kind and sweet notes you always leave me.   Thanking the lovely ladies that host the great parties I will be joining.         Lots of hugs.                 FABBY
