FABBY: March Rosary Prayers

Hello sweet friends !

Rosary prayers was here again, last Wednesday of every month. 

I so love this gathering with good friends, and I especially like the fact it's in my house and so I love preparing the flowers and candle for the image of the 'Virgin Mary' in the living room where we do our prayers.

We pray for all the sick and needy.  As always, you are welcome for us to pray for you and your family, no matter what the reason and no matter your religion; God always listens to our pleads.

Wishing you many blessings this Easter Season.

This is a lovely "Polish Wawel" china my mom gave me several years ago, it's from 'way back' from my childhood in Astoria, NY. So it was for eight place settings originally, but now there's only six places left, but it's ok, as I have set it in the round breakfast table.

Anyhow, the teacups, saucers, cake plates, sugar bowl and creamer are in perfect condition for eight places.

Here is my March Rosary tea table setting with them. 

As I have mention it before; our tea time is 'very humble' as the idea isn't  'social,' therefore just tea or coffee, warm bread, cheese and usually homemade marmalade, is served.

I do love to create a pretty setting nonetheless.

What you see in the white bowl is "Dulce de Leche" which is yummy inside any bread, but specially in the center of warm 'Croissants.'

I love the shape of the teacups, the dainty pattern in light blue and silver edges.

As chargers I used some bigger Transferware plates in blue and white.

The centerpiece flowers were arranged on a Chinese pot, flanked by two small 'French country kids' busts I fell for them, some years ago at an antique shop and two candle holders made back at our Ceramic Co.

In the back of the place setting is the bread basket with a "hand embroidered" cover in blue flowers, which also keeps the bread warm from the oven.

Don't you love the shapes of the lovely "Polish Wawel" china? I guess the teapot broke someday way back, I have to ask my mom about it.

Thank you for your sweet comments dear friend, you always make my day !

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

LOVE,
FABBY

FABBY: Tulips and Birds for an Easter Table

Hello sweet friends !

I hope all is well with you and I hope your Spring is in full bloom at your neck of the woods !

I created this "Spring and Easter" table to share with you all, besides it takes my mind away from all my many "duties" taking care of my ill mother, who some of you know had a stroke a month and a half ago.

Tablescaping is very entertaining for me, even if I will not have my dear mama at my Easter table this year.

Easter is such a pretty season and it has a happy and cheerful tone, specially for the friends that have the 'Four Seasons' and are leaving a cold Winter behind.

With that said, here is my setting.

I used for my Easter 2019 table setting my bird plates on top of green dinner plates and my new Spring tablecloth I found at a pretty home store.
I loved all the flowers and birds on the print of this lovely table topper.

The green napkin rings were made back at our former Ceramic Co. and they have a butterfly on top of each too.

                                            Here you can see some birds scattered around the tablecloth, along with ferns and flowers, which is the main reason I spotted it and thus, bought it !

I love this cheerful and happy tablecloth, I'm so glad I bought it without thinking twice, lol..

Faux tulips for the centerpiece.

I wish you a wonderful Easter-Spring season 2019.

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

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

LOVE,
FABBY

Spring Buffets 2019

Hello sweet friends !

How wonderful is it that "Spring has Sprung" in many parts of the world where there are four seasons.

" I decorated all my buffets for Spring, but not my entire home as hubby doesn't care for the seasonal moving around, and I also have not that much patience, so I will never be on a tour of anything except for Christmas, when I really go with the entire home. "

Here, where I live, it's sort of Spring and Fall all year round.

In the southern hemisphere where Ecuador stands; while you are having Summer fun, we're enjoying a cold Fall. Then again if we go to the beach by sea level, at the coast of Ecuador, it's Summer, if we go up the very high mountains in the 'Northern Andes' is Winter and they're also full with snow up there.

A small country with four seasons in the same day, lol..

Where we live is in the Andean southern region, so it is Spring full of flowers and a little rain, etc. the usual lovely Spring weather.

Here are my buffets in the formal dining room and breakfast table next to it done up in honor of this lovely season.

We keep our breakfast dining area next to the formal dining side, so we can use it with more guests at family reunions were we are more, at least 20. The kitchen is separated, but we do have a breakfast nook with a wooden farm table where we spend all week just the two of us.

With that said.

This buffet is decorated mainly with my mom's 'Limoges' dishes in pale aqua, plus the antique 'French' fruit bowl from Alejandro's father side of the family heirloom.

It is amazing how the aqua color in the fruit dish is exactly as the china, I guess cause they are both French !

This is all I decorate seasonal, except for Christmas that I go all the way around the house. So I guess I will never be on a Spring or anything tour, as I do not have all the patience, plus hubby hates all the bunnies all over the house, or cutesy things, hihihiii... it's his house too, so I respect him too.

Love this china, as I do have some memories of it when I was young.

This buffet is an antique as well, from Belgium and because of it it's long and very deep, so there is lots of storage room.

This Italian style buffet and dining table with chairs to match was my 40th. birthday gift from hubby... 'mini' years ago, lol..

On one side of it I arranged my 'Lady Carlyle' three tier, 'English Oetzman, London' plate and finally this darling French marmalade container... all in pink for Spring.

At the other end of the buffet is my three tier "Old Country Roses" and platter I brought from Madrid two years ago.
The cute gold sugar bowl is Russian, that was a gift from a customer to my husband when he had the Ceramic Co.

This is a small 'Egyptian' side table I got on a Mother's Day several years ago already.

Spring is here too.

This simple but cute buffet is also an antique and a heirloom from hubby's grandparents, passed on to us from his mom. 
As I mentioned before, antique pieces are sooo deep, as modern ones aren't. Therefore, it also has a lot of room space.

Our Breakfast French table and chairs. We use it quite often for lots of guests cause it is right next to the formal dining room and here I could sit six people, plus ten in the formal dining table.

Thank you for your kind comments dear friends and for praying for my mother, I am so grateful... you always make my day!

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

LOVE,
FABBY
