Well no sooner than Mardi Gras is over it is time to think about St. Patrick's Day! I will be linking to Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
Here is my dining room all ready for the Wearing of the Green! Notice my new Oriental Rug - unrelated to St. Patrick's Day, but notice it anyway!!!
I started with my gold tablecloth (it is SO versatile!) and put a gold charger at each place. On top of that I put felt shamrocks from Michael's.
I added an orange napkin with a metallic napkin ring and a green goblet (from Target a few years ago). My flatware is Wordsworth Stainless by Oneida.
For my centerpiece I used my ornament tree filled with glass ornaments. At the base of the ornament tree, the leprechauns have left some of their gold, jewels and empty bottles of Irish Cheer!
On my large buffet I have some more felt shamrocks which will make nice "trivets."
On the mantle I have green pillar candles on golden candleholders with a green and orange decorative ring from Michael's and vases with Irish flags.
In the bay window I have my antique wicker tea cart with a few shamrock serving pieces and a linen tea towel that my younger daughter bought me in Ireland in January.
Can't wait to see how everyone else is getting ready for St. Patrick's Day!

Love the table ... the baubles are so pretty! Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering where everyone was getting the great shamrock chargers, and I'm glad you mentioned Michael's in your post. You are certainly ready for a fine St. Patrick's Day celebration! Looks great!
Jewel, the rug is gorgeous and perfect for your beautiful dining room. I don't remember ever seeing your beautiful tea cart. what a treasure that is! Love all of your Irish ornaments on the tree, and how cute those shamrock mats are. laurie
It's amazing what they can make out of felt these days...the green felt shamrocks are so effective and good looking. I like the pop of gold with all your green appointments. Thank you for sharing your lovely design. Cherry Kay
I don't know why I've never noticed that buffet before, but it is gorgeous. I'm also upset that I didn't see those felt shamrocks at my Michael's. LOVE the tea towel your daughter brought you from Ireland. I think I need to find some more St. Patrick's day decor after seeing all yours! ;o)
Great idea to use the tree as your centerpiece. Shamrocks are adorable with your design! Great job!
Jewel -- what a beautiful new run! I know you'll enjoy that for a long time -- perfect for your diningroom for every holiday. I really love your Irish linen on your pretty tea cart. I'll be having daughter and family over for the birthday on the 14th -- it's always St. Patrick's themed. love seeing your ideas.
Hi Jewel,
I love that tea towel from Ireland beautiful! What a fun table.
The 4 leaf clovers from Michaels are adorable. I was looking for Shamrocks like that to represent the Trinity.
Have a great weekend!
