St. Patrick's Day Table 2014

I am so ready to see some Spring green! So ready in fact that I went ahead and set the table for St. Patrick's Day!

I started with a green plaid tablecloth I've had for a few years.

Next came my favorite woven grass placemats from Goodwill.

I then layered our everyday Gibson dishes and bowl at each setting.

The flatware is from Cost Plus World Market.

Even though the dish set was inexpensive, I loved the wavy pattern on the edges.

And, no tablescaper is without a set of basic white dishes.

The same could be said for napkins.  You always need one set of sturdy white ones.

Then, you are able to add color with napkin rings, also from Goodwill.

I used my favorite Irish cut crystal water glasses and green goblets from the Dollar Tree.

Setting a pretty table need not be expensive.

For the centerpiece I picked up 3 green and white polka dotted pots with faux shamrocks from Michael's and placed a fun Leprechaun and a glittered shamrock pick in each one.

Isn't he so sweet and cheerful?

I'm hoping one will tell me where he has hidden his pot of gold!

I placed a candle in several dessert glasses for some more shine.

And set them between the pots.

Our lawn may still currently look like straw placemats,but my table is wearing the various greens of Spring!

St. Patrick's Day Table



Wow!  Where did February go??  The days are going way to fast as I get older. You too?
Soon, Spring will be here which is really okay with me! 
Old Man Winter can go hibernate any day now!

Before Spring arrives though, there is still St. Patrick's Day to celebrate!
Corned beef, cabbage, green beer and the wearin' o' the green.

Of course I cannot let an occasion pass without some decorating o' my table.

A green tablecloth for sure.

My favorite oversized Ikea plates as chargers topped with
a fun green and white polka dot salad plate from Hobby Lobby.
White lace napkins from Boscovs online clearance
done up in a gold beaded napkin ring.
I also used my vintage gold plated flatware.

For the centerpiece I found some unloved Valentine's Day roses
in the clearance section at the grocery store.
$4.99 for this big bouquet! 
I can't imagine what they were going for before February 14th!
And I'm here to tell you, they are still going strong today!

I really lucked out as they are pink but tinged with such a soft and pretty green.

I placed a shamrock candle ring under the vase.

A couple of silver and green votives add just a little brightness to the table.

Green Jello in some of Mr. B's stout glasses mimic green beer.
My Irish crystal stems are the finishing touch to the table.

Mr. B doesn't like corned beef and cabbage so, again this year,
I'll buy a corned beef while it's on sale and we'll have the,
not quite traditional, and not really Irish, Rueben sandwiches LOL! 
At least the dill pickle on the side will be green!
Sláinte my friends!
