St Patrick's Day Table

Since I am having a teen birthday party on Friday the 15th and going to see Jersey Boys on the 16th,

I'm not hosting a St Pat's dinner this year.

So, I dragged out the table I did for last year.

I didn't realize that my dining room was still red then.

That's why all the pics are so tightly cropped....it kept looking like a Christmas table to me!

Soon after this photo shoot is when I decided 

it was time to neutralize the dining room.

You can see that here and here

Happy St Patrick's Day to all!

I am Welsh (mostly) and Scottish which are still part of the British Isles 
(last time I looked) 
but less Irish...

And the kids are part Lebanese which makes them tan really well but not Irish.

However my husband is of Irish background on his mother's side. 

So, last year I DID do a dinner and thought I'd show you what the centerpiece looked like!

Some galvanized buckets with a rusty edge and rosemary from the garden

My very favorite angel

Dug up some moss and gathered some rocks

Scrunched up a green tablecloth and started arranging

If you spray some rocks with water and then lay the moss over that, it holds nicely.
In fact, last year this arrangement lasted over a week. I just kept misting the moss!

I added some grapevines because they are just so wild and pretty

And a couple Irish Blessing pics I printed out

Gee...I think I could save this for Christmas. 

Pictures like this REALLY make me want to paint those red walls.

Oh well.......I guess it will have to do for St Patrick's Day
