Set Your Table With Flair--A Simple Saint Pat's

Hello, friends!  Thank you for stopping by to visit me today!  I can't believe that another year has gone by and that once again it's time to don our green and take a sweet little mental jaunt to the Emerald Isle.  I also will be hopping along with one of the sweetest hosts, Cuisine Kathleen, for her Annual Saint Patrick's Day Blog Crawl.

I am reflecting a bit today, as my husband's paternal grandmother was full-blood Irish.  She was a lady with a wicked sense of humor, my eldest daughter's namesake, and the glue that kept the family together.  Prone to joking and inspiring bouts of laughter, even in her later years...she was definitely a character and very endearing.

Each year when the weather becomes warm, all of my little ones' hair turns to beautiful shades of auburn, burnished copper, and strawberry blonde...I am reminded of those wonderful genes, and I can only smile.


This year for Saint Patrick's Day, I am keeping things low-key and simple.  A sweet and uncomplicated table set with a little bit of kitsch for fun seems so fitting for the overall sentiment of this joyous holiday, also reminiscent of my hubby's dearly departed grandmother.  I hope you enjoy the post!


I began the setting with a linen of white with shamrocks, shamrocks, and more shamrocks!!

A rustic little teapot planter became the centerpiece

filled with green, green,

and more green!

Crocheted tea towels adorned with patterned green napkins (shamrocks) and tied with a bit of fabric (more shamrocks!) were placed over simple white plates and celedon saucers.

At each setting, a gold coin with either a four-leaf clover

or sweet words were placed 

along with very simple flatware.

Stout mugs and tumblers of green 

join a jolly little pot

perfect for serving sips of Irish Mocha Crèmes.  To read the recipe for my simple Irish Mocha Crèmes, you may visit the post on my blog Parsimonious Pabulum here.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
