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

Getting Ready for St. Patrick's Day!

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!

St. Patrick's Day Decor

Today, I will take you on a little tour of some of my St. Patrick's Day decorations for the Blog Crawl at Cusine Kathleen ! Be sure to visit her blog for lots of St. Patty's Day Posts!

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!
