St Paddy's Table

10 years ago

I had planned on going out to dig out my leprechaun and gas
pump for this years table but it's been way to cold. Sounds
like winter is not giving up this year. I picked up this brand
new ivy throw at a ys for $2. Thought it would go with my
ivy dishes. This is what I ended up with.

Candles lit for Jeanne. I remembered to add my Irish coffee
stems but they don't show up w/o coffee.darn

TJ has her very own little violet cup and saucer and a
'Pot of Gold.'

Here's a few close ups of the buffet that sits behind the
table. And the decorated bird cage for Karen.

Chandy got some garland a few glass ornaments. Blessing
plate in the center. Wayne Kleski leprechauns joined again
this year. Still love them ($1 ea at DD's neighbors ys a few
years ago)

Hope you enjoy seeing some early St Pat's decor.

Pretty table scape with the Bordallo Plates, layered napkins and festive
accessories.. Your hutch..once again looks amazing.
TS Ivy throw looks great and was a nice idea for a tablecloth..also the Price!!!.
TJ looks cute ...love her little 'pot of Gold' and her sweet little Violet Cup
and saucer. Those little vignettes in the Bell Jars are adorable.
It has been so cold to be out for any length of time....I think everyone who's
experiencing it, can't wait for Spring !
Thanks for sharing your lovely St Paddy's table...Punk...you Rock!

No wonder TJ looks so happy....I would be too with that pretty table setting and all the surrounding decorations.
I like her purple boa too.

Sweet you lit the candles for Jeanne. And showed me the birdcage. Its got such a cute shape, like an old fashioned street lamp?

I'm hoping you'll be inspiration for me to get my St Paddy stuff out this time. Maybe this weekend. :)
hugs, Karen

Does anyone decorate for St. Patrick's Day ?

Hi Sandi, Sometimes, I feel a little discouraged that I can't just buy what I want when I want it--but then again, it is so great to find a bargain price when things go on sale, isn't it? Besides there's always the thrill of the hunt! Ha ha My concern now is that I am not buying too many things that I can only use once a year. I think I will try to keep the seasonal things to under $5.00 each for the most part. I think I have pretty much done that with everything except that large cabbage leaf plate-it was $9.99--but I rationalized that I needed a bigger one so I could put a dinner plate in front if I wanted to. Really would have loved to have four of them to use on the table--maybe I'll find them on sale for less sometime. Oh, I just fibbed. The new bunnies I bought yesterday were more than $5.00 too. I will probably use them year round though--I love bunnies and display some in my house already. I ran over to Walmart real quick today. Looked at the green clear glass plates to see if they might work for St. Pat's in case I decide to decorate the table. Actually saw some other plates that were a darker green that I liked better. Didn't see any colored glasses tho. I also looked to see what they had in white plates. Good prices, but I still want to look a bit more before I decide on those. They had two patterns that you could buy individual items instead of having to buy the whole set. If I can find an inexpensive set I like, I might be able to get some ivory ones too. So far, I still like the red plates you found at Target the best--can't believe I need plates in so many colors now! LOL Just have to take it one thing at a time and not get frustrated. It is lots more fun to buy patterned holiday plates than plain ones, isn't it? ;o) $5.00 each for those chargers doesn't sound too bad to me right now--the goldish ones at Walmart were more than that, and their woven ones weren't as inexpensive as I had expected either. Hope that little shop still has them and you can get them for just a couple bucks each. ;o) Good luck. Luvs

My St Paddy's Decor

Thanks Everyone. The stuff on my stacked plates came from Michaels. The larger shamrocks in the mug are plant picks and so are the 4 leprechauns!! I just pulled the wire off them and they stand up fine. They have them with several different faces so not all 4 are same. Yep, the iron bunny needs a green bow. He's permanently out there and I didn't even think about decorating him. I have thought about painting him up a bit tho, just cause the rusty iron hard to see and not all that attractive. right now swamped with dog show stuff thru next weekend so not doing much other than the St Pats. And had a real bad week with pain so lucky I even got the stacked plates done. They are just too much fun tho. I've got to come up with something after Easter, as I cannot go till July 4th, this is too addictive. LOL. Karen

Lynn, I do plan to use them with some flowered placemats DD gave me. I don't have time to plan for the occasion at this point in my life but will set some kind of a table. The set is by Waverly and called Sweet Violet. PM, I wish I had some of your spring nosegays. I will see what I have for artificial flowers and try to come up with something different. Wanda, I'm so glad your inspired and I'm sure we will all be excited to see your beautiful setting. Thanks for all your comments and I will start thinking about my next table.LOL Punk

Last Minute St. Paddy's Table

As always you all are so sweet and inspiring with your comments. Jeanne, I made those napkin rings the year I hosted a St. Paddy dinner, I love working with beads. Kathleen, the minute I saw your cake stand I thought it matched my dishes, they are depression "Green Bubble". Luvs, that little tray goes with another little drink shaker and glasses, but I borrowed it for this table with Irish Whiskey in mind. Punk, I hope you find some dishes this summer, I just need to do some tablescapes with all the dishes that I already have. Between tablescapes, crafts, garden junk, Spring, camping, golf, and oh yeah work, I need a few more hours in the day and I am already loving this time change. Syble

Your St. Paddy's table and buffet are so festive, Punk.
It's great to see Green after all the white stuff we have around here.
Using the Ivy throw was genius. It is perfect on your table.
The Wayne Kleski Leprechauns are so cute.They are a fun addition.
I always enjoy seeing TJ. She looks adorable and she really loves being part of the celebration.
I put up my St Patrick's tree and got the Leprechauns out, but I don't have any ideas for a table yet.
Thanks for sharing, Punk You really brightened my day!!

Jane, thanks for your teaching abilites, I've learned I can
use turkey plates on this table and pretend they are bunnies,
by covering them up!ha Another thanks for the comment on
my little vignettes in the Bell Jars.

Karen, my heart would be so Happy if this inspires you
to decorate for St Paddys! You have so many wonderful
things to share. Thanks for your comments on TJ's Purple
scarf and the decorated bird cage.

Nana, great to hear you've got your tree decorated and the
leprechauns are out! They are mischievous at times so hope
you catch them and they lead you to the treasue! Will be fun
to see them and what you come up with for your ts.

Thanks for all your effort keeping our Holiday forum a fun
place to come! I always look forward to seeing what your
up to. I agree we've had enough of this White stuff. Mother
Nature has us under storm watch again here.

Stay warm and safe df's and thanks for all the sweet comments.

That throw is perfect for your St. Patrick's Day table and TJ looks ready for St. Pat's or with a tweak, for Mardi Gras. She's obviously a girl who loves parties.

F2BH, thanks for the comments. Jeanne has taught us
to play w/dolls again! I love having her and she's always
ready for another party.haha

I always think I'm going to do a Mardi Gras ts but never
seem to do it. I have collected a few things through the
years so one of these years I may surprise all of us.

Catching up on your posts that I missed, punk!

Oh wow...that throw makes a wonderful t'cloth! Perfect! & of course, the candlelight looks grand to me for the centerpc! I love how you used a combo w/the napkins, too & they look so pretty the way you displayed them.

Stacked place settings ~~ always a hit! & looks like you added the 'luck of the Irish' on each one. TJ is just looking so cheery...love the purple wrap scarf! & her clover placemat ... that violet patterned cup is devine.

Love the close-up shots of the cloches & the bird cage... just cute as can be ...& more candles (no surprise)! That buffet w/your chandie decor (last photo shot) is great! Everything looks very Irish! ;-) ~~Jeanne S.

Nana, was great to see some posts from Candy
huh?

Jeanne, thank you sooo much for all the sweet
comments. You never miss any thing! I always
think of you when lighting things up. I have
more of the battery operated candles that I should
bring out.

Same thing w/my lighted pussy willows, stems and
flowers. Alot of my plugins are behing my cabs
but nothing an extension cord can't fix. Just get
lazy and call it good most of the time.haha

Thanks again and take care of yourself gf.
