FABBY: Our Everyday China


Hello sweet friends!

     Our everyday china is a mix of orange and white dinner plates I had for over two years, which I bought for 'fall' and to match my vintage Chinese dishes, which has small dinner plates and lots of orange flowers. 

 Than to my surprise I found salad dishes just recently, in four colors and with flowers. The other day I was in my favorite home store and saw 'soup plates,' as they weren't soup bowls, which I didn't want. The soup plates also came in the four colors as the salad plates, with very thinned stripes in the brim of the plates... and paired with the orange dinner plates, I created my everyday dishes which we're enjoying lately; as for the past five years we've been using a lovely Spanish country style dishes and I was bored with them already...you know how it is, lol!

Hope you like them too!


I thought my pretty blue and white cotton tablecloth would look perfect as a back drop for my everyday mixed and matched dishes. This high pic shows all the colors at it's best!

I liked for this setting my soft blue and white cotton long and round tablecloth.

More than two years ago I bought the orange and white plates, which also came in four colors, just like the soup plates and the salad plates; except I wanted them to match my vintage orange Chinese dishes, so I have eight of them and everything else too. The antique china has small dinner plates, almost like salad ones, that's why I invested in the orange dinner plates, which were not expensive and niether were the new plates.

Pewter chargers, orange dinner plate, yellow soup plate and yellow salad plate.

Here the orange with the pale green soup plate and pale green salad plate.

Orange with the blues, the yellows and the oranges. In the back of the centerpiece is the pale green set.

The blues and blue butterfly napkin ring, which I have in different colors to match each color of the plates.

The flowers are in a kitchen container for spoons and other utensils. This container in blue with doves was made back at our Ceramic Co.

The 'kitchen utensil container' is hand decorated by us in our former factory. This was one of the patterns I designed for a complete set of dishes too.


The thin stripes in the soup plate.

We've been using these dishes for everyday just for the past two weeks and we love them! I enjoy change, as I get bored otherwise...specially with things I see or use on a daily basis.


Thank you wonderful ladies for visiting me, as you always make my day!

Thank you lovely and gracious hostesses for having me at your great parties.


LOVE,
FABBY

  30. What a bright and cheerful table! I just recently bought some orange plates - I had never had any previously. Yours are so much more awesome, though. I love the striped pieces so much! Also, you were so smart in the way that you mixed all of the colors together, including the tablecloth. Wow (seems like I write that often, about your tables - lol!)!

  31. So colorful Fabby, and I agree, it's boring to use the same plates over and over, it's so much more fun to change it up! I almost missed those gorgeous pewter chargers, now those I could use everyday and never grow tired of them!

  35. Fabby, What a wonderfully colorful table. I love the stripes mixed with your orange. I am beginning to recognize things from your ceramics factory. You are so talented and I know you had so much fun designing and then seeing the finished product.
    Have any of your designs made it to Ebay. What mark would we look for on the back. As I was typing this, I thought, once someone had these lovely ceramics they probably wouldn't part with them.
    I am always playing catch up so I am on to the last post. Love to you and Alejandro.

  38. Hi Fabby! A colorful and lively setting this time :) I love how each color combination is complementing with each other. Very inviting and festive

    But I'm actually more interested with the transparent spoon and fork/ Is that made of glass? :)

  39. I like the orange/blue combination, Fabby! (I do it myself around here - just don't have all the layers of wonderfulness that YOU do....)

    Have a wonderful week ♥
