FABBY: 300 Yr. Old Hacienda Tour 3

 The dining room with antique Viennese chairs.

 The table is all set for lunch with the dishes that were made at our former ceramic co., as some of you might recognized them by now. For my new friends, my husband owned a ceramic co. up to four years ago and I used to design the patterns of the dishes inspired by the indigenous women's apparels and the men's shirts as they  are embroidered in beautiful vivid colors.  The embroidery varies from the different regions of Ecuador....  I had 14 designs on sale. They were hand made by potters -wheel, like in the movie Ghost, lol... and each piece hand decorated, as well.

 A beautiful vintage buffet with red roses arranged on a tin antique pitcher.

The beautiful painting of a valley of another section of here called Paute, was painted by a famous artist uncle they had.  I will post about him one day in the future.  The pretty tray is English vintage too.

 A very old hutch with some of my Sil's English transfer ware pink things.

This lovely crystal and gold pitcher is an antique from the 20's, it's also a family heirloom.

 The gorgeous pink hydrangeas are from the gardens, I thought it'll look pretty next to the pink heirloom transfer ware.

A small cart with the salad and hot sauce.

 They already had this built in original shelves, but my SIL  framed it with an antique carved wood frame,  here she likes display part of the dishes that we made and designed back at our former Ceramic Co.

Hubs shot a pic of me passing by the dishes.

This design came out of the indigenous women's blouses.  Those two little bowls with a chili on it are for the hot sauce.


Before the table was set for dinner, there was this beautiful embroidered tablecloth in brown.



A romantic window taken from the outside and you can see the pink rose arrangement in the blue vase.

An antique table with a pretty arrangement with a couple of great looking ceramic roosters...in the back closed porch.

 In the enchanted garden a beautiful gazebo sorrounded by vegetation with an iron table and chairs, just wonderful to have afternoon tea there. 

   Hi again!  I promised I will show some of the interiors of my Bil and Sil's the 300 yr. old hacienda, as if I ever show you everything there is to see here, in such a big house, there will be too many pictures and it will be very boring, lol. 
Thank you for coming to the last tour of my Bil and Sil's beautiful 300 year old, restored hacienda.  You've been wonderful and so generous going to the tour with me, as I just love this enchanted and unique place... this prompted me to want to share it with you all, my terrific blog friends, as I knew you would enjoy it.

Lots of hugs,
FABBY

I appreciate you wonderful hostesses for having me once more to show off this magnificent hacienda at your terrific and fun parties.  Thank you ladies.

Fabby: 300 YEAR OLD HACIENDA

  This estate was built 300 years ago, it was from my MIL's side of the family, as it was very abandoned and there are frescoes, paintings on the walls that were also restored by professional curators that work on antique art work paintings and the owners, my Sil and Bil went through the difficult  task of having it restored.  There are also many beautiful things that I guess the family did to the hacienda while they lived there for many years. The buildings adjacent to the old hacienda were barns that later became living quarters as the family grew.  Now most of the original heirs are dead and their children and great-grands live in the capital, or other city's. 

 Here is the entry to the gorgeous 300 year old home.

 Everything you see here has not been touched since, not the center patio, or the open porch floors.

 I just love the open porches of the house.





 The paths are all with this river stones as they were originally.

Thank you for coming to visit my friends.  See you next time.

I will be linking to the following parties and I want to thank all the lovely and sweet hostesses for having me.

Have a wonderful week my friends.  Lots of hugs.

I will be joining Alyson for her great meme FAVORITES ON THE FIRST on May 1, 2013 at,  http://thepolohouse.blogspot.com

 Part of one of the green houses where the roses grow at ALTAFLOR,  my Bil's rose farm.

ALTAFLOR is my Bil's Rose Farm, where we went this past weekend for a family reunion.  Here are some of his fabulous and gorgeous roses in most colors for you to see that Ecuadorian roses are the most beautiful in the world, because of so many factors and the most important is the high altitude climate in the Andes.
These are bunches of 25, long stem roses in each of the ones you're going to see and the way they export all over Europe, USA and Russia.   And here you have them...enjoy looking at all these stunning ladies!
