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!
Alright Kathe. That's it- I need to come to dinner! It's just that easy- your tables are always so so inviting, I am inviting myself right one over! And this table looks really really fun! My kiddos would love that green jello goodness! As always, you are one amazing lady who has such talent for table setting. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the green and white tablecloth, plus the touches of gold for this setting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice table! I have those same little irish coffee glasses! Happy St Pat's!
ReplyDeleteGreat green tablescape Kathe! And those green desserts in the glasses look fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to a Round Tuit!

Very sharp, Kathe. Very, very sharp.
ReplyDeleteI really like those Irish Coffee glasses. (I really like Irish coffee, too!) All your ivy things go so well together. The delicate crocheted runner give a touch of elegance to the checkered tablecloth.
I JUST got some gold flatware. I been wanting some for years. Every time Christmas rolled around, I wished for some - but alas! during December there were always other things that needed to be purchased first.
Do you use yours often? I notice you said yours was vintage. How great.
I love your table. I never thought about decorating for St Pat's Day before, but you can bet I will next year. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun table! Everything looks great! I'm now a follower!
ReplyDeleteI love the china! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou did a lovely job, Kathe (with an e...LOL) You reminded me that my Mom always made GREEN Jell-O for St. Patrick's Day & she would tint the whipped cream GREEN, too. *smile*
ReplyDeleteI like your centerpiece a lot & all your pretties look great.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Early,

Hi Kathe, no problem if you prepared your table so early as St Patricks Day is still on Saturday. But anyway, I love the way you set up your table, the dinner wares, the glass, every thing on it are all perfect. You really have a very good taste when it comes to tablescaping.

My favorite THREE things are the centerpiece, the tablecloth (want one!) and that centerpiece. It all went together so beautifully, and the green jello "is" the cool whip on top!
