St. Patrick's Day Table

With our last name, it's no surprise that March 17th is a special day.  Mr. B is half Irish. I have been told I have a wee bit of Irish in my blood too.  But then I have also been told I have a wee bit of just about every heritage coursing through my veins too, so I may or, I may not be able to claim an Irish background. 

I started with a green and white check I got on clearance online from Boscovs. I then used a crocheted runner to break up the green a bit.

I decided to go for a green, gold and white theme so I started with a gold charger, followed by a thrift store plate with green ivy, our every day Gibson salad plate. On one of my many thrift shopping trips, the luck of the Irish was with me as, I found napkins that also have ivy on them!

 

Another thrift find is a small gold rimmed Irish coffee glass. If you look closely you will see a little shamrock in the stem.

Wanting to get a bit more of the green, I made lime jello and used the coffee glasses as dessert glasses.

I also used a set of ivy salt & peppers on the table.

My vintage gold plated flatware makes another appearance.

Irish crystal stemware and, because he is half Irish, pint glasses for a nice cold Irish Red home brewed just for today by Mr. B, emblazed with his own custom label.

I put the centerpiece together using a cake plate, a shamrock wreath, a sweet little leprechaun, some gold coins, and a small plaque.Irish crystal candlesticks complete the table.

 

I know I am a bit early to the party but with so many to attend I wanted to be sure I was ready! I am notorious for being unfashionably early. First to arrive, last to leave is my motto! Sláinte friends!
