"Céad mile failte"
A hundred thousand welcomes!
It's time for Kathleen's
Annual St. Patrick's Day
Blog Crawl
May good luck be with you
wherever you go and your blessings
outnumber the shamrocks that grow.
I was the lucky one to receive the traveling Irish topper!
If you don't know the history of this vintage cloth full of
shamrocks and Celtic knots, Marigene @ In the Middle of Nowhere
shamrocks and Celtic knots, Marigene @ In the Middle of Nowhere
first sent it to Kathleen @ Cuisine Kathleen with the stipulation
that it be passed on to another blogger for the following year.
Kathleen passed it along to Rett@ The Gazebo House ,
who then sent it on to Mary @ Home is Where The Boat Is.
Only the leprechauns know
where it goes next year!
To continue my good luck I bought a shamrock
plant to fill a favorite vintage ironstone sugar bowl.
I had a bit of good luck when I found this piece while
shopping the fields at the Round Top Antique Shows.
It was missing its lid, but I didn't mind.
Just look at the details on this beauty!
I fixed a special
tray to help us celebrate.
Used a favorite Lucky Four Leaf Clover napkin
with vintage mother of pearl and silver flatware and . . .
Shamrock linens to join the
traveling vintage Irish topper.
A stack of green!
My friend Yvonne @ Stone Gable
says, "Stack, stack, stack!"
A stack of beautiful plates makes
for an interesting placesetting.

How about a mug of Irish coffee
made with Bushmills' Irish Whiskey?

I topped it with sweet whipped cream
and green sugar crystals.

What have we here?
I think the leprechauns
have made us a special treat.
A cake of rich, dark chocolate
with a cherry on top!
Our Sadie girl wants to tell you
about our new Courtly Check tote.
We call her Miss CC. We will join
Pattie @ Pandora's Box along with a group of others
who have their own Courtly Check tote.
You can read about The Traveling Totes here.
Unlike the Traveling Irish Topper, Miss CC won't be traveling
to other blogs, but you can follow along as
Sadie and I take Miss CC on adventures.
Long live the Irish,
Long live our cheer,
Long live our friendship year after year.
It's all about the shamrocks,
so put on some green and join in the fun.
