St. Patrick's Day is
one of my favorite holidays. It makes so few demands, and yet rewards us with
good food, the promise of spring, and an abundance of my favorite color, green!
I started setting tables in honor of the coming holiday late last week, pulling
out a set of salad plates depicting some of my favorite fresh summer vegetables
that will soon be planted in my meager garden.
Seeds give off such a feeling of
hope, don't you think?
The pitcher was once in my mother's collection, and has long served as a focal
point for my St. Patrick's Day tables. Generally I fill it with shamrocks, but
this year decided on a floral bouquet from Trader Joe's. Bad idea. By morning
half of the flowers had wilted, and by the following day they were dead. Never
again!
The black letter “P” is actually one half of a set of bookends that I
recently unearthed, and decided to use.
Green popcorn and chocolate kisses fill white lotus bowls. It wouldn't be St.
Pat's without green popcorn!

What a pretty SPD table...♥ the salad plates. Your little leprechaun is adorable. I have bought roses that lasted only long enough to get them home...very irritating. I now avoid them like the plague. I wish I could find a grocery store nearby that had ranunculus...they are so beautiful.
Happy Saint Pat's Day, Pattie!
Terrific spring St Patrick's table! Those salad plates are wonderful - the veggies on them look so decorative. How fun to have a bowl of green popcorn at each place setting - yum! Maddening about your bouquet but they look nice in the pics.
Great table Pattie! Love the drama of the stripes and the way you did the napkin! And those plates are fabulous!!

Love those vegetable plates! Too bad about the flowers- I would march back there and make them give me another bundle! I like the green popcorn and the striped placemats.
Oh no! So sorry that your flowers did not last. Your plates are wonderful though! When I think of Ireland I do think of fresh vegetables too so I think they are quite fitting. I am joining you today from the blog crawl as well. I hope you have a happy St. Patricks day tomorrow!
Wonderful leprechaun pitcher. Special it was your mother's.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Pattie, Your fiddling leprechaun pitcher is unique and adorable! So nice that you have it in your collection from your mother. It is so frustrating to come home with flowers that immediately wilt and I have had the same problem with roses. Sometimes I can revive them by slitting the stem and submerging for awhile. I do love the plates! I'll sit at the kale setting! Linda
Pattie,
I adore this St. Patrick's Day Tablescape, dear one!
My favorite has to be your stripe black & white placemats
used with the solid green and the salad plate depicting the carrots!
Your vegetable plates, on this tablescape, all complement your theme!
HaPpY St. PaTrIcK's DaY!

Pat
