The other day I went by the window of the European shop and dropped dead!...Ok, no I didn't die, but had the need to go inside and buy the gorgeous tea pot I had seen! Isn't she just to gorgeous? It just says: made in England, in the same white porcelain, so you can hardly see it...anyway, I didn't care what it said, I just totally loved it and mother seconded me on my purchase, since we were together...and here she is!
My granddaughters, 8 and 6 will be staying with us for two weeks, therefore, be patient and be sure that I will visit you and leave you comments, even if it takes me somewhat longer! Thank you my dear friends for understanding.

| My daughter Sofia came for the long weekend herself and to drop off the G'girls for a couple of weeks to spend with us. Therefore, the new teapot will contain hot chocolate for us four, (the girls will use pretty children's mugs), along with some Madeleine French cookies, I made for them. One side of the tea pot has hand decorated vessels. |
 |
| The other side has hand decorated English soldiers... and maybe they're arriving in American shores?..lol |
 |
| The peak has a gold lion's face..or something I'm not sure what it is yet. |
 |
| I did a small setting for the hot chocolate with the Madeleines and the two Polish teacups my daughter Alexandra gifted me two birthdays ago. |
 |
| On one side the teacups have yellow birds and in the other, blue ones. |
 |
Here you can appreciate the pretty blue birds on one side of the teacups.  |
 |
| My small setting is done in our alabaster breakfast table. |
 |
| The Madeleines are yummy and the recipe is from Martha Stewart. |
 |
 |
| The friends that have followed me know I bought in January lots of sale things, among them, the Madeleine-pan. |
 |
 |
 |
| The English soldiers in the "American shores...hubby made the joke..hehee..I'd love it if I knew it was a certain thing! |
 |
| The hand decorated English vessels. As you can see, I am in love with the darn teapot! Hope you liked it too. Thank you so much my friends for stopping by and always making my day. I also appreciate the wonderful ladies that host some great parties!

ReplyDeleteThat is just a gorgeous piece, Fabby. I love anything with sailing ships on it. I have a little blue and white teapot that belonged to my mother with a ship on it.
ReplyDeleteThe madelines look like the perfect accompaniment to your drink! You have SUCH beautiful pieces, Fabby and you USE them which is even more special.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana

You set a beautiful tea table. And your new tea pot is lovely. How sweet to use it with the girls. My mom does nice tea parties for me, my daughter, daughter in law and granddaughters every once in a while and we all love them. I have some pretty tea pots and cups and am thinking I need to have one for my granddaughters myself.
ReplyDeleteDearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteYou are quite a lady! Why do you keep going to that European store and together with your Mother... She's no better than you are for leaving things there. But you did adopt a mighty pretty teapot. One indeed wonders what the scene depicts.
But WHY don't you tell us where your lovely tea chest came from? You just skipped over it; so much is that teapot occupying your very thoughts!
Hugs to you and enjoy a happy weekend.
Mariette
Your teapot is stunning, such a fabulous find. You also created such a lovely teascape with your teacups and cookies. Perfect. Hugs, marty
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful teapot! And it looks so very gorgeous with the two gold teacups and that fabulous marble topped table! Love it! You put together the most elegant tables I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs, Cindy
So beautiful. I don't care if they are on American shores it is so beautiful. So funny!
ReplyDeleteI know it was so fun to have the Ggirls and teach them about tea parties.
The madeleines look so good. I was going to ask for the recipe but I can check out Martha.
have a great weekend, Ginger
Oh Fabby, I can see why you fell in love and had to buy the tea pot; it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're going to have a fun week with your beautiful granddaughters.

ReplyDeleteSo adorable. Prima donna, babe?
ReplyDeleteHappy to visit you again after some weeks, adventuring.
Hope you and DH is in the best of everything.
Happy Sunday.

Oh, Fabby! That teapot is so unique! I see why you fell in love with it. I was just wondering, if the face could be the North Wind blowing the ships across the sea? Anyway, I know the grand-girls will enjoy those delicious cooking - I have thought about buying a pan like that for years, but I have never done it. Have fun entertaining your special guests!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely teapot and it goes so well with the cups! Rather amazing but they are all so elegant and elegant things seem to go together. Very, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Dear Fabby! Oh, you did a good thing going into that store and buying this gorgeous teapot! I agree with you - the shores of America! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought those tea cups went with your teapot - they look beautiful with it. Oh, the cookies look delish and the plate you have them on is so pretty. Enjoy your time with your little grands. I could be jealous, but I won't! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your teapot appears to be quite a find. Enjoy your time with grandchildren. We will all be here!
ReplyDeleteFabby, it's no wonder you're in love with it. I am too. What a beauty she is! The tea cups are so pretty too, and I'd love to have a madeline (or 2 or 3). They look delicious. laurie
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tea setting, Fabby. I'd love to be sharing in this sweet tea party. The Madelines look delicious. They are a favorite for me. Have fun with your girls.

Best greetings, Johanna
Please have a great time with those grandaughters! Lovely tea setting here!

WOW!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow if you ask me that is a perfect tea. Honestly it is perfect in every way. I love it.
Especially those bird cups - you know I love birdies!
That English teapot is SO unique, too!
Well done, Fabby.
Hugs.
Oh you are planning such a fine treat for your grands! It looks so lovely. I wish I was there too, with your gorgeous new tea pot! And drinking your best tea in your sweet birdie cups! And tasting your delicious looking desserts! Tell your grands I am jealous! lol!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terri
Fabby,
ReplyDeleteI think that teapot is fabulous! Or should I say Fabby-u-lous. Ha! Ha!
Have a great rest of your week.
Pat
That is an amazing teapot. I've never seen one with a golden mask at the base of the spout. Is there a sea battle on one side? Either way, it's a lovely partner to the tea cups and those madelines look nummy!
ReplyDeleteWell, of course the lovely teapot had to come home with you. It needed a loving home. Your tea table is lovely, and I relish the thought of your granddaughters learning the art of gracious entertaining at your knee. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Fabby! Have so much fun with those cuties! I have been in and out for the last two months and finally have some time home but have the wedding and also a missionary to get ready to send out so we are crazy right now!
ReplyDeleteSimply be-u-ti-ful! Such a special pot to use at Granny's house. And let's don't forget the cookies. Yum!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFabby, this is really gorgeous. It looks as if it is perfectly at home in your home. In other words, it belongs with you! The cups are so pretty. I know the grands will have a wonderful time because you will spoil them rotten. Won't you??? Do you have a good recipe for Madeleine's? I received a couple of pans for Christmas and haven't made them yet!! Gorgeous Fabby, have fun. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteBeautiful teapot and the cookies look so good!
ReplyDeleteI do love your new teapot Fabby! What’s not to love. A great color and pattern, love the soldiers and the lionhead! The girls are just the right age to enjoy a big girl tea party. Enjoy.......

That pot is so very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe cups go so well with the pot. I am sure the girls will have a fabulous time. Those madeleines will be a hit I'm sure !!
ReplyDeleteHI Fabby...wonderful posts as always.Was out of blogging for few days...love your gorgeous tea pot.Beautiful share...Love..sujatha...:):):)
You were smart to follow your heart with the teapot, Fabby. It is gorgeous and I love the detail. I wonder if there is some research you can do to find out if those are American shores. :-) The teacups complement it so well -- amazing match. Well you will be busy in a delightful way with the g'girls--have a great time and savor the moments; they grow up so quickly. I enjoyed your previous post with your every day ware and the view out your kitchen window.
ReplyDeleteEsa tetera es fantástica! Nunca vi una parecida, y con esa cara de león dorada, tan original!
ReplyDeleteMuy lindas las tazas y tentadoras esas masitas.
Besos!
