St Patrick's Day Tablescapes

Hello everyone,
I was looking back at some of my St. Patrick's Day posts from the past and thought you might get a few ideas for setting a festive St. Patrick's Day table. I found a St. Patrick's Day tea cup with a delicious quick bread.

I loved decorating this table. The Bradford pear was in full bloom and the March day was sunny and warm. My green depression glass tea cups glistened in the morning sunlight.

Shamrocks and weed plates help celebrate St. Patrick's Day and Spring.

Gold rimmed plates and Shamrock salad plates with Shamrock handmade napkin rings. The three vases are from the Dollar Tree and vintage juice glasses from the 70's. And a pot of tea for my luncheon.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Joyously,
Betty

Birds of a Feather Flock Together Tablescape

Hello everyone,

No truer words were said...Birds of a Feather Flock Together. Yes, We Do!

I photographed this tablescape yesterday morning and after lunch I was planting in the garden. I don't usually plant annuals, but this year because of the garden tour I'm planting of instant color. 

Now back to tablescaping. I won a gift certificate from French Bleu Vintage a few years ago and I picked this vintage bird cage. My little birds have another home outside in the patio, but they consented to come inside for couple of days. LOL

March is a busy month at My Cozy Corner. On Sunday we had a family dinner for Sweetheart. He is now 72 years old. Between birthdays and garden I'm one busy old lady. This jeweled napkin ring caught my eye at the thrift store about a month ago. I didn't by them at that time.  $2.00 silly me. Then I was thinking they would look nice with this table. I hopped in the car and ran over to the thrift store. I couldn't find them anywhere. Finally I asked and there they were just waiting for me to bring them home.

I love birds. When we first moved into our home the back yard was very different looking. HERE We had chickens and loved the fresh eggs each morning for breakfast while the children were growing up. Oh yes, our middle son will be 50 this Sunday. We're going out to dinner and celebrate our Patrick's birthday. He was born the day before St. Patrick's Day. What was I going to do. I had to name him Patrick. Besides I love the name. Well I sure did get off the topic of tablescaping.

Do you think the eggs are a little bit out of proportion with the size of the birds? LOL

I think they are so cute...♥

I.ve always been a a storyteller about everything. I try to stay as close to the truth as possible  These plates have a story too.

I don't know what plants they are, but they look like weeds to me. 

I found the four plates at a yard sale for $2.00. I knew they would be perfect for a spring table. I was going to use them later this spring outside under the pergola, but I just couldn't wait.

Grape vine wreath, green dollar tree plates, Martha Stewart salad plates and weed plates from yard sale. Sweet♥

The place mats were on clearance at TM. There is a set of place mats, four napkins  and a table runner for $9.00. I didn't use the napkins for this tablescape because they are huge. I had this smaller contrasting green napkin that works well with my semi-shear napkins. The white flatware is from Walmart. 

There you have it. My Birds~St. Patrick's Day and Spring Tablescape all

rolled into one. 

Have a great weekend and hopefully we will all have a sunny Sunday.

Joyously,

Betty

Tablescape # 62 ~ Saint Patrick's Day

    

Hello Everyone,

Today, we're going to enjoy some beautiful spring weather in Northern California.

I've set my new patio table under the pergola with a Saint Patrick Day's Tablescape.

The Flowering Pear Tree and the fabulous shade of green associated with the Ireland  was my inspiration.

 The Flowering Pear branches are in full bloom and have a soft, musky fragrance. When I walk out my back door I can smell the delicious scent filling the air. 

The Antique Green Depression Glass cups and saucers are Block Optic Design. I've wanted to buy some Depression glass dinnerware for years, but this is the first time I found the perfect reason to own some. I love Green too. Being a gardener and loving nature, green is a very calming color. 

I used my daughter's silverware for this tablescape. It's called 'Affection' and a simple shamrock ribbon around them is great for outside dining. Casual and easy. 

An extra cup to hold a few flower blossoms and a few clusters of blossoms around the table adds freshness to the tablescape. 

A tall glass for water or other drink.  

I made some lime Jello to serve with ice cream for dessert. 

The Butter Cookies are here today in the shape of a shamrock and covered with green sugar sprinkles. 

I have used silver chargers with basic white Cost Plus dinner plates. The white plates were my mother's everyday dishes. The salad plates are Martha Stewart everyday dishes and the dessert dish is more of the Cost Plus dinnerware. 

My large green vase is my favorite L.E. Smith Moon and Stars canister. 

It's time to have a little luck thrown around on the table. I found the coins at Michaels craft store. 

Everyone I know can use a little good luck now and then...  

Well, I guess I've given you enough Blarney for one post. I love that word. 

Blarney is the Irish gift of gab. It's also the ability to present things in a positive light, and to make positive statements. That's me, LOL 

Thank for visiting My Cozy Corner.

We have a some important Birthdays in March

Sweetheart #69

Last week we celebrated Sweetheart's birthday. He loves to cook Corned Beef and Cabbage, so we invited our friends over for dinner. They were also having birthdays.

Sweetheart March 10th = 69

The cupcakes are chocolate with cherry pie filling in the center and chocolate fudge frosting.  I found the birthday cupcake holders at the craft store on sale.

I picked my first bouquet of Daffodils from my garden and under the Artemisia I found two Hyacinths blooming.
