Once again it's Tablescape Thursday sponsored by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH!
Thanks Susan for hosting Tablescape Thursday every week!
Although neither my husband nor myself are Irish, we love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. For this year's table I chose the colors of the Irish flag - orange, white and green.
I used my Gibson "Gollum" dishes and green stemware that I got when I was married (can't remember the name or maker!). I used two napkins - one in orange and one in green. The napkin rings are part of the Gibson set and then I tucked mini flags in the napkin ring.
For my centerpiece, I used an ornament tree with Dept 56 glass ornaments in the shape of shamrocks and leprechauns. I placed this on a brass tray and scattered gold and green coins and green acrylic jewels.
I put green pillar candles on golden candleholders and used wreaths from Michael's in green with a dash of orange.
I used a few shamrock themed serving dishes on the table.
This is my favorite - from TJ Maxx a few years ago.
On my mantle, I used my silver wine cooler with the golden bead stems (remember Mardi Gras?) and draped them with green St. Patrick's Day beads and tucked in two Irish flags.
I haven't decided on the menu this year - maybe Shepherd's Pie??? At least the table is already set!!!!
A funny story - I noticed this morning that it was so easy to photograph the table. It hit me as I was uploading these pictures that all the chairs have been pushed from the table because we had a reception for a local civic group. Oh well, all the better to see the table, right????
What a pretty clover tray! Love your tablescape, it is so festive!...Christine
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if I shouldn't push the chairs aside for the photos anyway. Love your Irish ornament tree - cute! Everybody's Irish for St. Patrick's day!
ReplyDeleteHi Jewel,
ReplyDeletewow, I love that centerpiece! This is such a fun table too!

A very happy table. Festive!
ReplyDeleteI like your centerpiece with all the ornaments. Your table looks so festive! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so festive and cute. Love your ornament centerpiece. I love St Patricks Day too. I agree with the comment above. Everyone is Irish on St Patricks Day :)
ReplyDeleteJewel, this is so pretty. I love that Irish tree centerpiece! I have that same green stemware that were our "every day" wedding selection too. You would think as many notes as I had to write using that pattern name, I would remember it. Your champagne bucket looks so great with the St. Patrick's touches. laurie

ReplyDeleteLovely table for an Irish family dinner.
ReplyDeleteGreat St. Patrick's table!
ReplyDeleteHey, I love your table! I can finally help out one of y'all...YEA...the name of your stemware is Olde Williamsburg Green because I chose that as my wedding pattern, too! Thanks, again, for sharing your pretty table with us.
ReplyDeleteThis is a clever and unique take on the St. Pat's theme!

Nicely done! I like the fact that you've incorporated orange into your setting. It really adds nice pops of color throughout. You're a good sport to tell us you forgot to move the chairs back to the table after the reception! I'm sure that does make picture-taking a LOT easier. I've moved a chair out of the way to get a better view/angle before, thinking I'd probably forget to put it back or not line it up with the other chairs!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend!
Bye for now,
Bill
I love your centerpiece and the little flags in your napkins. Really nice tablescape, I enjoyed my visit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit -- I think our glasses are the same. I got mine from GW (a really good deal) but I don't know the pattern name.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the shamrock tree..and that dish from TJ Maxx is wonderful, Jewel!
Hi Jewel...love your St. Patrick's Day tablescape! That Gibson china is the most versatile isn't it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and your green glassware is beautiful! Fun centerpiece...love Dept. 56! :-)
Glad your daffodils are popping up...don't you love this time of year! The Redbuds are blooming all around Atlanta, too...spring is really, finally here! :-)
Sweet greetings to you Jewel! Loved your St. Patrick's Day tablescape, and I agree with you about the TJ Maxx find - just beautiful. We must think alike because I used my parent's 25th anniversary wine cooler as a vase for one of my dinner parties a few weeks ago, it looked pretty with pink tulips and baby's breath. There's a picture of it on my blog if you get a chance to visit. Ciao, Bella!
ReplyDeleteLove the St. Patrick's tablescape and sideboard setting! The centerpiece is awesome and I love the Irish nutcracker. I have the SAME green goblets and love them!
ReplyDeletewow, I love that centerpiece!
