The Luck of the Irish




We're not Irish, but I've set a festive table  

in honor of St. Patrick's Day next Sunday.




I pulled out some shamrock linens.




Set our places with a stack of green and white.

Alternated Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage Leaf 

 with Wedgwood Nantucket Basket




Added my favorite vintage flatware.

~ Silver and French Ivory ~




Topped each stack with  

these cute ceramic cup cakes.




I found them at 

 TJ Max a few years ago.




They are the work 

 of Heather Goldminc.




I scattered in a few sparkly 

shamrocks in among my bowl of hearts.




Picked up one of those lucky shamrock plants 

at the grocery today and planted it in 

a vintage ironstone sugar bowl.




This is the mark on the sugar bowl.  

I bought it in the fields at 

Round Top Antique Week several years ago.

Can anyone help me date this piece?

 Update:
Diane @ Confessions of the Obsessed and
Marigene @ In the Middle of Nowhere
did a little research and found that the sugar bowl is dated
January 14, 1853.
Thanks, friends!





The Shamrock Plant is actually an Oxalyis.  

I'll keep this one as a house plant.

I treat the pink Oxalyis that 

grows wild in my garden as a weed.

It's a nuisance!




Cuisine Kathleen's 
5th Annual St. Patrick's Day Blog Crawl 
~ March 13th ~




I'm ready with some shamrock 

shortbread and a cup of Irish tea

while I sit on the sofa and visit 

all the lovely posts that celebrate the green.





You can see a glimpse of 

Tricia's @ The Dull and the Dutiful

above on my computer screen.

Just look at all that pretty green glass.




No, we are not Irish here, 

but luck has come our way.




We found a "Pot of Gold" last March 

when this sweetheart came to live with us.




I made a tray of 

 shamrock cookies just for you!

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way ~
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and everyday.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    Sarah, I love all of your Irish pieces. Those ceramic cupcakes are adorable. I am a crazy-obsessed research person and I looked up your mark on the Wedgwood sugar bowl. According to the English registry mark on the bowl, I believe it was made on January 14, 1853. Hope this helps! You can find the information in either of the Kovel's books on marks. Happy St. Pat's!!

    Good Morning!!
    What a gorgeous table! The white Oxalyis is so pretty! But I have a confession....I love my PINK!! I try to cultivate it because it has been such a huge part of my life...in every house I've ever lived, I taken some of the pinks with me and transplanted them. Therefore, I still have plants from the original way back from when my sons were little boys!
    Thank you so much for sharing your lovely greens with us for my party this week!!!

    Love your shamrock plant and shamrock shortbread. I haven't seen any shamrock shortbread in my area. Your cabbage plates are great. Wish I had some.

    I like my purple oxylis plant in my garden. It adds a pop of color and I enjoy it popping up in another location as a surprise. I guess when it gets aggressive I may feel differently but so far it is a slow grower.

Your precious pot of gold has the sweetest little face---she must bring you so much joy. Don't you just love the Nantucket Basket? I think it is the best set of white dishes ever. We use ours for everyday dishes and I never tire of them. Your sugar bowl was an amazing find! And it looks wonderful with the shamrocks. I don't plant any in my yard because to me they look beautiful as house plants but like weeds in the garden! Enjoy your weekend! Linda

    I wish I had some of the pink Oxalis. I love it and would keep it as a house plant. We don't get it up here...at least not that I have ever seen. What a sweet little dog you have. I borrow my mother's chocolate lab Sally when I am feeling the need for being with a dog..I keep her for a few days and then I bring her back. She loves it here with us but my mum would miss her terrible if we kept her too long.

    Hi Sarah~

    Just getting back from a week in AZ.

    What a pretty table you set!
    Love those green plates.

    I don't recognize the marking on your ironstone sugar bowl unfortunately.
    Maybe describe it on Google...sometimes you can find it through "images".

    Give your baby Sadie a smooch from me!
