FABBY: Father's Day Buffet Setting


Hello sweet friends!

FIRST OF ALL, CAN I PLEASE ASK YOU KIND LADIES IN BLOG LAND TO PLEASE PRAY FOR 'LITTLE REA,' OUR DEAR BLOG FRIEND CHRISTINE'S GRANDDAUGHTER FROM Christine's home and Travel Adventures.
SHE IS GOING THROUGH CHEMO THERAPY BECAUSE SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.
SHE IS SUCH A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL, SHE'S ONE OF THE TWINS.

Thank you all.

       I decided to go for a buffet table for Father's Day 2014...opposed to a sit down dinner.
I used my 'Multiple Choice' mix and match black and white china to give it a masculine aura to the the buffet setting; among other elements accordingly.

Alejandro deserves it all, he has being a wonderful father to our two daughters, as he has given each girl their first home.... and he is also a great (awesome) granddaddy to our little girls.
 
Let me mention that he is a lovable and caring husband and I am so thankful on how generous he is with me and my love for collecting lots of things, specially dishes and decorating the house.  

I don't think he's 'hardly said NO' to something I wanted, or the changes I wanted to make in our houses, except for maybe a couple of times because he probably didn't totally like it himself, as fortunately we always agree on our projects or things we wish to purchase for the house, or pertaining to the family.

 Thank you my God for giving him to me, you've blessed us all!

May God bless your fathers, husbands, sons and Son'in'laws this Father's Day 2014 and always.

Ok, here goes my buffet setting in honour of my dearest 'Man of the House!'


Happy Father's Day 2014 everyone!


I bought a few years ago two different sets of, 'Multiple Choice' (brand) of dishes for four places... actually, for a Father's Day 2010.
I decided on buying two different patterns to do just this...mix them together and here is the result.

I bought this adorable 'shell rooster' on my recent coastal vacation.
I decided to use him as I believe it's also 'Rooster's Day' next Sunday too...hehehe..

A close up of my 'natural shell rooster.' I fell in love with him and had to have it!

I bought it on a town where the people are so crafty, talented and gifted with their hands in making such lovely things.

They didn't have any chickens left, so the great roos was just fine for me, lol.. 

I used this very different and masculine fern for a centerpiece instead of flowers.

I had some small faux-shells and I made napkin holders gluing them to an elastic. Only the White one is real.

Love the teacups!

I placed an oil hurricane lamp for a romantic mood.

Alejandro and our guests will be watching the 'Soccer World Cup' too.

Natural shells from our vacation.

Tea will be served from the pretty Chinese teapot.


I placed in the back of the fern the warm buffet servers.

 I am using the hot servers with the buffet food. I might have to add one more, according to the menu.
I will always miss you daddy. Thank you so much for your love, you were my best role model!

Here is the 'bigger picture' on how I'm serving the Father's Day 2014 buffet.

Guests will grab a dinner plate from the right side of the table and promenade towards the back to serve themselves dinner and continue around it for a glass of white or red wine to celeb.

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

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

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY 2014

LOVE,
FABBY
