Ireland is a land that boasts 40 shades of green, so I set a table with green, green and more green!

An ironstone pitcher is filled with green and white flowers for a centerpiece. . .
mums, alstroemeria and tulips.

An embroidered cutwork shamrock table runner sits atop a subtle green herringbone patterned cloth,
providing a foundation for our table.


Green seeded goblets offer the illusion of watery bubbles,
fitting for Ireland, as an island surrounded by water.

Grace Teaware Shamrock Fine Porcelain Dessert / Salad Plates have a pierced design,
layered on Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage Leaf Plates.

Help yourself to a sweet shamrock, a Grace’s Irish Oatmeal Biscuit,
served in a cabbage leaf bowl.


For each petal on the shamrock.
This brings a wish your way – Good health, good luck, and happiness.
For today and every day.
– Irish Blessing

Mary, green is my favorite color so this post really speaks to me!! The cabbage leaf plates are so pretty and perfect with the grace teaware salad plates. I ordered one of the table runners last year and have really enjoyed using it. I appreciate so much your suggestions, tips and recipes. I’m going to spend an enjoyable morning looking back at your table inspirations!!
Many thanks!
Love all the tables and the runners! I guess I missed the contest…oh well, next time…congratulations to the winners! Happy St. Patty’s day to y’all!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
These tablescapes help to brighten our March days. Bring on the sunshine.
Beautiful Irish themed tables. The runner is gorgeous and the plates are all so delicate looking. The floral bouquet is so full and gorgeous. Have a great day! Clara❤️
Your table is beautiful, Mary! I love the runner and of course, the cabbage ware. I wish I had purchased more when Tuesday Morning was still in business. The price has gone way up since it is now in high demand. This is the perfect table for St. Patrick’s Day and I love every detail! 💚🤍💚
Absolutely beautiful, Mary. Your centerpiece and flower arrangement is just stunning! I love St. Patrick’s Day tables, I love the color green, I love everything about this.
Everything is always so lovely. I so enjoy your creativity. Thank you!!
Your St. Patrick’s Day tables are all so beautiful, Mary. How exciting for the winners of your giveaway. They will be able to set a pretty table, too 💚☘️💚
A lovely table to celebrate St. Patrick’s day. Love all the green table and the florals are gorgeous in your white pitcher. One cannot have enough shamrocks. You rocked it as usual. Congrats to the winner.
Beautiful table Mary and I love all your shades of green. The plate stack is so pretty and the flowers are gorgeous! Love the seeded goblets too. Wishing you a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day!
Mary ~ i wish i could wiggle my nose like Bewitched and have my table look like yours this year. I came down with Covid in January and still am not feeling well. My mind wants to decorate but my body not so much. ☘️ I think I need a trip to the Keys to bake it out of me! Thanks as always for your beautiful inspirations. Hugs, Dorinda
What a lovely Irish table you set for us. Thank you!
The cabbage leaf plates with the Grace salad plates are the perfect stack.
I have the one table runner. I need to get it out. Thanks for reminding me!
Always an inspiration you are!
Thanks so much, my friend! ☘️🍀
I feel like St Patrick’s Day gets short-changed in March as a celebration. Thank you for keeping it elevated. Such a pretty tablescape and floral arrangement, Mary. Those articulated plates are gorgeous!
Oh Mary, What a fun table. Your florals are breath-taking and everything is so whimsical, fresh and fun. I LOVE the color of those gorgeous goblets. You didn’t have a link to them and you should b/c they can still be purchased on line that I saw. And thank you soooooooooooooooo much for the St. Pat’s win. I am thrilled beyond words.
Likewise, I missed the giveaway. All of your tables are lovely and make even an old dyed in the wool stick in the mud to want outdoor dining, Thank you so much! My inquiry is about the charming Honey Pot; where in the world did you find that?
Thank you Linda, I found the Belleek Honey Pot at a favorite antique mall a few years ago. You can occasionally find them on Etsy or eBay. 🐝☘️
Wonderful inspiration from the “kitchen to the table,” Mary. You are so clever. I thought I’d visited this post, but looks like I didn’t comment or it didn’t go through. I’ve pinned for future reference. Thank you! I’m lucky to have you in my life!!!
