st. pat's heads up!

16 years ago

Had to run out yesterday for some things & stopped at Joann Fabrics to see if they had anything I could buy for a St. Pat's table, since I really don't have much at all.

Their St. Pat's things were only 30% off, so there was a Hobby Lobby just down the street & I decided to check them out.

They had more of everything & theirs was 50% off. They have statues of boys & girls & bears, plates, candles, mugs etc.

I bought one boy & one girl statue & a small decorative plate to put on the table in a plate holder.

Really don't want to overdo since I have NO room for anything else, but at least I will have a few things.

Thanks, Lori. We don't have Hobby Lobby in NY.
Joanns will reduce their stuff more in a week or so. Still time!

Thanks for the heads up here too, but alas, no Hobby Lobby in Calif. Sure wish they would open one nearby--I love that store!

I'll have to make a trip to Joanne's next week maybe--I have some things from last year, and I just found a really cute square scarf with shamrocks on it that might work in the middle of the table. Not sure what I'll come up with--could I get away with just showing last year's pics again?????? LOL

Don't want to use paper plates for your St. Pat Party?

Nope. If they did have them, they're all gone now. Well, it was fun going there again. I know that I'll start visiting there regularly now that I know the fastest route to the place. They had a very poor section of St. Patrick things too. Said they wouldn't be getting any more in. It isn't even March yet, and they won't be getting in any more St. Patrick's stuff! Nuts to that. I also looked in the Mardi Gras section. Nothing on sale there. Did get four plaster-like crowns that were 50% off. Three were bright pink and one black. I plan to spray them gold and use them on next year's Mardi Gras table.

I did do a little for St. Pat's

Glad you enjoyed my little bit of St. Pat's decorations. I really do love St. Patrick's day, especially all the limericks! My large apothocary jar came from my one and only visit to Nell Hills in Atchison, Kansas several years back. I've enjoyed having it there although it's sometimes a challenge to figure out what to put in it. I had forgotten that I put some little blocks that spell out IRISH and some green flowers in a pitcher that matches the little pot the daisies are in on the mantel. I just sort of added in a few "green" things here and there with the normal decor. My heart really wasn't in it this year with so much other "not so good" stuff going on right now--but it's a good distraction for me and helps cheer me up a bit. I know Karen and some of the rest of you can relate to that this year too. So what's next? Some Spring decor or right on to Easter? Nana, what is Colcannon? I like green jello too--but not DH, he doesn't really like much of anything "green" when it comes to foods. LOL Kath and Candy, I can totally relate to not remembering things from a year ago! Heck, sometimes I can't remember why I opened the refrigerator door! LOL Jeanne, are you all well again? Sure hope so. I keep watching to see if my hollyhocks are coming up. Would be thrilled if they do, but if not, I have plenty of seeds left to try in another location. No, I didn't do the lettering on the little plate, I've had it for a few years now. Nana, those daisies are real, had to get them for my little pot because they had green centers--perfect right? Jane, thanks for the sweet comments. Is your Dad doing okay now? Hope he's back home and doing fine. I need you to come decorate for me, you have such a knack for putting just the right things in the right places. Emaly and Marylee, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing my little leprechaun and goodies. Next year, I'll try to pull the rest of my stuff out and do more. Now I need to go check out all the posts on Kathleens blog. Luvs

St. Pat's Leprechaun Table
Q
Comments (13)
I found another leprechaun at the TS today. He matches the one to the right of the picture in the CP. This one has a squeeze box (little accordian) instead of the pot of shamrocks. I also found a package of shamrock confetti in my sewing room that I forgot I had so I will be scattering that on the white tablecloth. I wonder what else I have that I've forgotten? I would like to find some more of those little B & B plates, they are such a pretty green. Frou, thanks, you still have plenty of time to do a table. Punk, can you believe I had 12 of the octagon placemats and found 4 more that matched at a TS? That should hold me for the holidays unless, I really have a mob show up, LOL. Nana, I have not found a lot of leprechauns, but when I saw the one today that matched the one I already had, I had to buy him!! Glad you enjoyed the table. TTFN, Candy

Are you ready for St. Pat's day?

Hi Luvs, It sounds like you are going to have a nice time with your GD, I don't blame you a bit for sending her a card, she will love the stickers too I am sure. It is still exciting to me to get a real card in the mail its like receiving a "minigift". "Card emails" are just not quite the same. In fact a few days ago I went out and purchased a bunch of pretty and fun stationary to be able to write short letters every now and then, talking on the phone is great, but I think it will be fun for my family to receive a really pretty matching envelope and note paper in the mail with a short note from me. Sorry, I got off the subject a bit. (blush) Well, I'm not having company this weekend, in fact I have been invited to my neighbors house for her SO's birthday, so I shall definately eat and drink well tomorrow LOL. I'll be doing a table soon, I am finishing up with putting together my pink table from the new plates from Target, gosh I don't know what it is with me and pink lately.... If all goes well with the rest of my ideas I will try to have a couple of Easter table settings for April, there are just a few things I still need to pull together for that. (I have to hit a few stores in the "further" towns to finish off my looks, I've been to 3 Targets so far....) I also tried to talk my DD into taking me to Home Goods this weekend, but I did not have much luck there, she is not as nuts over Home Goods as I am-perhaps she was switched at birth??????

They closed my Joanne's well over a year ago,I was surprised to read that some are still in business.They replaced it with a Michael's but I'd love to see a Hobby Lobby come to our area.

Gosh, I hadn't heard about any Joanne's stores closing, sure don't want to lose any more places where we can get fabric and craft supplies! We better all head off to Michael's or Joanne's and buy more stuff so they will stay in business! LOL

Oh dear-- I like Joann's. Here's hoping that it won't be all of them.

The Joanns in the nearest town to me, about 10 miles is a pig sty! It's small & messy, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if they closed. There are large store spaces available near it, wonder why they don't move into one of those, but like you all say, maybe they are going to close it.

I usually go to one that is farther north, in fact it's a new one & much larger & neater & cleaner! None have closed in my area that I know of.

uh-oh...Luvs is up to no good.....last years WON'T WORK....you can't fool us!! :^)
Looking forward to seeing your scarf!!
A trick that I use for cheapy place settings, are fingertip towels for placemats. Most of the $$ stores have them for every holiday, and they do make a cute, easily washed placemat!!!
My Joann's better NOT close!!! It is the only fabric shop that we have!!! Yikes!!! I may have to up my stash....hmmmm don't think the pocketbook would like that plan!

Ahh, Jaybird, you must have been the only person who read that! I was expecting Kathleen or Karen to give me a bad time about that comment! LOL Nope, I couldn't do that, at least not without giving a full disclosure--I'll try to change it up a bit and take some new pics this year--I promise! ;o) Luvs

st. pat's heads up!
