    What fun pieces on your table. You know I must not have much of the Irish in me because I have very little that would translate into a St. Patty's table. I do cook corn beef though!

    Everything is lovely. Your cookies look incredible. Cut out cookies are my favorite ever. I don't make them much anymore. Maybe I'll break out my shamrock and get to work! Great inspiration. Hope you have fun plans for the weekend.
