Hello sweet friends!
As many of you who follow me know, my mother comes every Wednesday and spends the day with Alejandro and me; that means she eats lunch and dinner at home; with a little 'happy twist' this week we had our lovely daughter Alexandra as a guest as well. She came to visit us from the capital, Quito, where she resides. She came last Monday for a week and we also celebrated her been featured in an international magazine as a skilled and talented children's photographer, (Alex is a professional photographer and takes potos of everything, including children).
My daughter and mother inspired me to make this elegant, (photos of Alex at the end of this post) but simple table setting with mother's Polish china she gifted me a few months ago from her NY stash, as mother also has many dishes so she can spare some to her 'only daughter,' lol..
When mom gave me this gorgeous set of dishes for eight some months ago, she said that she was gonna 'keep the teacups' for 'her tea parties,' (sniff,sniff) but now she had a change of heart by giving me the teacups, sugar bowl and creamer, as the teapot she said daddy broke long ago... which was a WISE decision on her part, been that she is a very 'intelligent' lady that I adore!!!
