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.

St. Patrick's Day - Just Around the Corner!

I love St. Patrick's Day! My husband and I aren't even a little bit Irish, but then again, "Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day."

Here is my dining room table, decked out in the colors of the Irish Flag.

At each place, I have a gold charger covered with a felt shamrock placemat. I know that's backwards, but I like the way it looks!

For the centerpiece, I have Irish ornaments hanging on my ornament tree with shamrocks and golden coins scattered around the base.

This little fellow is on my dining room mantle, flanked by two green pillar candles.

Then, in the bay window, my tea cart has some Irish influence, as well!

The green doesn't stop in the Dining Room, though!

This vignette is in my Butler's Pantry.

My sunroom is a great spot for an Irish tea.

I love these nutcrackers!

Our Billiards Room is ready for St. Patrick's Day, too!

Here is the mantle in the Billiards Room.

I will be sharing this on Cuisine Kathleen's Blog Crawl and Between Naps on the Porch.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

A Classic March Battle

This year March Madness has taken over my decorating - no, not college basketball!! It's the battle of  the Leprechauns vs. Chicks and Bunnies! Easter comes so early this year, they must learn to coexist!

But since St. Patrick's Day comes first, let's celebrate that first!

My sunroom coffee table is spread with a linen tea towel, which was gift from my daughter when she went to Ireland a few years ago. On that I have various china with shamrocks collected through the years. And daffodils from my yard in a green glass vase from Historic Jamestown.

More St. Patrick's Day next week!

This week, I will be joining

Tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life

Let's Dish with Cuisine Kathleen

Tablescape Thurday at 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!!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Here in the foyer, a leprechaun has left his hat! Don't try it on or you'll get green sparkles in your hair!



One the antique dresser that we use as a hall tree, there are several seasonal items.



Here's the mantle in the billiards room.



And the buffet in the same room.



Here's how I had it last year - I think I liked it better!



And you have to be on the lookout for pots of gold around the house!







I love my nutcrackers.





Have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day everyone and special thanks to Kathleen!
