Looking for Martha Stewart's Holiday decorations in the Internet, I came around a beautiful table scape for Christmas with an aqua-turquoise china and instantly I remembered my mother's vintage Candle Light Limoges dishes in aqua and immediately got inspired to make a table scape for Christmas, all my own, in this not classical color.
Martha had hers beautifully done with a gorgeous centerpiece with white flowers, whereas I decided to use my hubby's, French Art Nuveou porcelain center piece with the monogram of his grandparents, which is just like our last name's initials and when his mother died, almost three years ago she left it to him.
I am calling this table scape French as everything in the table is "almost" French, like the beautiful stems that were my mil's, my mother's pretty French Limoges dishes and the gorgeous porcelain centerpiece, which I arranged it in a modern fashion for the holidays.
I used my vintage, Carrara top table that's in the our foyer; the one hubby bought in the European Antiques Shop last April and the manager told my hubby that it was Italian...so great, we were so happy, who cares from where, we just fell in love with the gorgeous table.
The other day I was in the antique shop to see what's cooking, and I ran into the owner who had come from Europe recently and asked me how I liked the gorgeous Antique FRENCH table for my foyer and WOW... it turned out French and not Italian...hehehe..

| Here is the gorgeous French Art Nuveau antique porcelain center piece that belonged to my Fil's parents'. I chose for my arrangement some C'mas tree balls in aqua and silver along with the blue-silvery grapes on the sides and those thin blue-silver twigs. |

I met the owner who lives in Holland and that's from where he sends all the antiques to Ecuador, he buys them all over Europe and he says: Sra. Fabiola, I heard you got months ago that beautiful FRENCH TABLE with the Carrara marble top!! You can imagine me!...I was so surprised, happily too, but I've been calling it all along... my Italian table, because the manager told us it was Italian, lol! Well, this is the story. Here is my French table scape on my "French vintage table" all set for Christmas. I hope you like it.
Your lovely, generous and kind visits are so appreciated, they always make my day and put a smile on my face no matter how bad I may be feeling that day, so really, I cannot thank you enough my dearest wonderful friends. I love you all very much.
FABBY
