St. Patrick's Day Tablescape
Irish Stew, Corned Beef and Cabbage, or Fish and Chips. Whatever is on the St. Patty's Day menu, it deserves a fun, festive, and green tablescape.
Each place-setting starts with a gold charger, a two-tone green plate, and a pot of gold coins. I have gotten so much use out of the fun pots I bought at auction last year for $5. They will be ideal for Irish Stew, which is what Jordan has requested for St. Patty's Day dinner.
For the centerpiece, I added silk flowers to a Shamrock wooden basket I bought at Jo Ann. The vintage sign came from Hobby Lobby for just a few dollars and I added a green taper candle to the vignette.
Remember when I showed you this vendor's booth at the Scott's Antique Market? I promised I'd show you what I bought.
This Irish linen table-topper is what I purchased at this booth. Isn't it pretty?
I will be sharing my St. Patrick's Day tablescape with my friends at Tablescape Thursday and Home Sweet Home. Stop over and see some fabulous tablescapes.

La,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely find at Scott's. I don't think you had mentioned it before, so it was nice to see such a pretty treat. I used to set a St. Patrick's Day table when I was first married because my husband was Irish and a Patrick. That was a long time ago ~ your post brings back lovely memories. I think I'll take that pot of gold. Too bad it's not real :)

Very irish and cute.
ReplyDeleteHello La,
ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful St. Patrick's table and I love the little shamrocks on your blog and on the tablecloth. In Germany the shamrock (actually the one with 4 leaves) is a for sign for luck, so I think, a bit luck should happen to you with all these shamrocks.

Well hello there!! Isn't it fun to set a table with a theme? Yours is great--just adorable, and I do love your new table-topper! I will probably have corn beef and cabbage, one of my favorites, even though we're not Irish! lol Have a great week-end! Thanks for visiting with me.

ReplyDeleteahhh, La...this looks so fun and cute. I am lovin every thing. Great table...and I am wanting some Irish stew. :)))
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed by all of your tablescapes. You said you bought some stuff at auction, you are so brave, I have never been to an auction. They kind of scare me, but one day I hope to give it a try!
