St Patricks day 2011

St Patricks day is one of those days where all the Irish folk head off and really enjoy themselves. I have long admired how they can go out (to the local Irish pub of course), meet up with old and new friends and make the evening one of pure delight. Along with Guiness and any kind of dark stout beer and a good helping of Irish stew and more than a touch of the most hearty sing song that you could possibly imagine. 

 Heres my little contribution to the evenings entertainment. A table set in green, green and yet more green. I used my white with silver trim for this tablescape. I wanted the green to be the star of the table.

I must confess that curently I don't own any crockery with even the slightest hint of a little shamrock Or Lephracorn. So I have made do with throwing together as much of the green stuff (and I don't mean dollars) to create my St Patricks day tablescape.

 I just wanted to show you the bottles that I have been collecting and how they come in so many different shapes and styles.

 My asparagus votives originally came in three (always a good number in design) but, unfortunately I broke one.

 Cute little votives with tiny shades.

  

So here it is, St Patricks day dinner!!

May all your pots at the end of the rainbow be filled with gold!

I laid the table one way during the day, but, come the evening you can see that I changed it slightly by adding the little palm twists to each place setting and I changed the napkins slightly by tucking them under the plates.
