Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{STIR UP ANGELIC TEA FOR TWO}

May I invite you for a TEA FOR TWO? Just thought you would like that... For the occasion I made some special handmade chocolates in the shape of an angel and a rose. Stirring up an angelic tea party!
Also I would like to show you this very special high end solid silver spoon by Giovanni Raspini, Italy. A very unique solid silver spoon with two angels, I want to share with you today. It would become a lovely heirloom piece for your family, if this spoon, with twin angels, is given in honor of a new born baby or any occasion involving LOVE. Like I said before, Giovanni Raspini makes High End Silver Gift items that are equal to the Tiffany & Co quality and style. I feel fortunate for being able to bring their unique boutique style items to the American, Canadian and world-wide public. See my Zen Cart powered Mariette's Back to Basics Boutique link, below this post.
From France I have this heavenly angelic tea doily. A vintage treasure done in filet lace needle embroidery on handmade netting.
Sold out...
The silver twin angels do have company... Filet lace doily with angels and roses and a beautiful French cross stitch embroidery on pure unbleached linen in tone-on-tone and framed by my most favorite home town Gallery +IROK galerie lijsten kunstuitleen FOTO ALBUM , in Horst aan de Maas, The Netherlands. They do a museum quality job and I will get back on that in a later blog, with more of their exceptional work. We're loyal customers for about three decades; even from the USA!
French Country
The Giovanni Raspini silver spoon is showcased together with my first wedding china from Germany, Mirabell White by Seltmann Weiden
Of course, even Replacements Ltd. does have some of its discontinued pieces!
The paper doilies are from Europe as you cannot find the 4" (10 cm) size pieces here... Everything is bigger in the USA.
Well, I must admit that we do live the Going GREEN way as those smaller pieces of China fit more items inside our dishwasher... great for the environment.
More angels on the solid silver napkin holder. 
You can also use it on a desk, for holding cards and letters! 
My passions are angels and roses and this is a nice way of showing that.
Sorry Sold out...
I TOLD you I love angels and roses and I even do EAT them alive... 
Are these hand made chocolates not divine? It is so much fun making them and even more fun to eat, as I use the 70% and higher special dark chocolate for making those. That is supposed to be good for your health as well! Will write more about that later... So much to do still! Subjects will be endless. But bit by bit you get to know what I'm doing...
French Country
Of course, I did search for the book with the beautiful TOI & MOI Angel embroidery. It is in French, but languages are no barrier for me, so I found it on the German Amazon and ordered it from there. 
As said before, this is the Museum Quality Gallery of Irok that does all our framing for three decades already. You can visit Ingrid's Irok Gallery blog below, she  also has a translator.
I like to make a mention here as to the fact that Irok also provides art work for the Hospice facility near our former home town. In that facility on July 22nd of 2010, Mrs. Dora Van den Bekerom passed away. She used to be the secretary of my husband Pieter, at the world's first and only Practical Training College about Mushroom Growing; the one he founded.
Therefore I like to name this blog in honor of her. She was a dear colleague to both of us, very loyal and she not once forgot a birthday. Since she went to heaven to re-unite with her husband who passed away of cancer in 1967 and is now living amongst angels; this will be quite appropriate for ending this blog...
Republished today.

Are you stirring up things with angels at your home?
Would love to know about it.

  1. Dear Mariette,
    your blog is really like heaven! What a cute silver Angel spoon and napkin holder. I can imagine how nice that looks also at the christmas table. All the Angel decoration is so heavenly pretty. The embrodery is so dainty made. And chocolate is always nice, more when it has such nice shapes.

  4. Hi Mariette, the whole line is really beautiful! I was delighted as you have presented, lace with angels of God, that line with those little angels are a very fine detail and a table would give a special touch, the chocolates in those forms of angels and roses, all well orchestrated! Rose Marie greetings

  12. Your tea setting is so lovely. I have a book of angel cross-stitchings -- love the look of linen with the light thread. Interesting information about the tea diet. When I lost weight 7 years ago, I gave up coffee, only had green tea, totally changed my eating and, of course, worked out all the time. I need to get back to some of those habits. It was nice to see your home in Indonesia. We hope to have a place of our own in Sri Lanka one day. Wishing you a wonderful day. Tammy

    I would like very much to have tea with you and see those wonderful things.
    The chocolate makes it even more elegant.
    My favorite is probably the napkin holder.
    Have a nice weekend.

  17. Lovely cup of tea, even though it is just a virtual one.The handmade crochet with " toi" and " moi" angels compliments is just very sweetly.Not sure I would eat a chocolate angel- I'd probably keep it , but certainly a chocolate rose would be yummy.And I am sure we are all surrounded by angels, be it chocolate, chroched'ed or real ones!!
