St. Patrick's Day 2017

You don't have to be Irish to love St. Patrick's Day!

I have a gold tablecloth with green felt placemats, white plates, gold napkins with emerald green napkin rings.

My centerpiece is an ornament tree full of glass shamrocks and leprechauns.

An assortment of Irish nutcrackers is displayed on my mantle.

May you have the luck of the Irish! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I will be sharing with Between Naps on the Porch.

Happy St. Patrick's Day with Kathleen!

Today and the rest of the week, we are celebrating St. Patrick's Day a bit early with a Blog Party at Cusine Kathleen! I will also be posting at Tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life and Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch. Here is my St. Patrick's Day table!

As you can see, I started with a gold tablecloth and gold chargers and added gold rimmed stemware. I then placed green felt place mats on the golden chargers and couldn't bear to put plates on top! To this I added an orange napkin with a gold napkin ring and placed a wee Irish flag in each.

For my centerpiece, I used my gold ornament tree and hung it with glass ornament with an Irish flavor!

The mantle has an Irish theme -

as well as the tea cart!

And the St. Patrick's Day theme isn't just in the Dining Room! Here is a shot of my Billiards Room:

And in the foyer, there are some Derby hats and shamrock china.

In the sunroom, we can have some refreshments!

So in preparation for St. Patrick's Day, do you have a new something GREEN to wear? (Shameless Plug Alert!) How about a hat or fascinator from The Chapeau Chateau?

My daughter and I have been busy making Spring hats and fascinators! We are adding them to our Etsy site a few at a time, but have lots of sneak peeks on our Facebook Page! Please consider "LIKING" us on Facebook!!! We are also available for custom orders! Hope everyone has a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!!!!

Luck of the Irish Tablescape

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????
