I started with this black plaid wool with a thin stripe of Green, yellow and red.
I layered an off white Irish placemat , a black plate and a off white lacey salad plate.
I Gathered a Green napkin with an off white ribbon, a fresh shamrock..from this plant my friend Audrey gave me last St. Patrick’s Day….
And some Gypsophilia (Baby’s Breath)
A candle Globe from Galway Glass..
Individual Glass butter domes from WSonoma outlet.
Glasses with black stems from PfaltzGraff..
My centerpiece is a Gigantic Belleek mug filled with Greenery and fresh white mums .
Our 7 Grain bread will go in another Gift with an Irish Greeting…
For dinner we will Graze on Chicken Kerry Gold.. Garnished with Green parsley…
G is for GRATEFUL..what I am to you for visiting!
Hope you are Gearing up for the Grand and Glorious St. Patrick’s Day Party here on the 16th~ ♣♣♣Everyone is invited!

What a nice "Kathleen" post~
ReplyDeleteI love that poem..I gave it to a client in a card once..
I could wear that placemat:)
Wow..you kept the shamrock alive the whole yr! Good for you!
So where's the Chicken recipe:) ? Did I miss something?
Oh so pretty and I love the menu. I wish I was coming to dinner. So lovely and so yummy. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWonderful post - I love the tablesetting and the chicken does look GOOD! Please share the recipe sometime.
ReplyDeleteI'm GREEN with envy at all your beautiful tablesettings :)
O my goodness that look scrumptious! You do great table settings! I love the touch of baby breaths so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat cut chicken breast looks delicious, with the melted cheese oozing out...that picture should be in a food magazine.
ReplyDeleteLove the tablecloth, very pretty plaid , especially with the Irish knit placemats.
Is that shamrocks on the Belleek or just little flowers?
GGGRRREAT!!! Pulled everything together perfectly... chicken really looks good..is it stuffed with the cheese and then breaded?
ReplyDeleteLove the darker colors...
Hi Kathleen. Oh, your table is so pretty and you're making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia ;)
You are amazing, as always!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table Kathleen! I hope to be back form my blog break by St. Patty's day, hopefully I can join your party:>)
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't think I've ever seen a real shamrock. I love those white lace plates, too. Lovely "Irish" table. Your food looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteD
As I told you yesterday (during our shop-a-thon), this tablescape has to be one of my most favorites. It feels so authentically Irish with the depth of the wool cloth and the exquisite white wool place mats.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous.
And by the way, happy birthday.

Another beautiful tablescape, Kathleen. You have the gift for combining just the right things in just the right way. The plaid wool is a wonderful backdrop for everything you've put together.
ReplyDeleteLove the looks of that chicken!
Hooray! You are the first one on the list to have chosen the word "green" for this week's G-word! I have also chosen the word and colour green, but for jewellery-making, "green beads".
ReplyDeleteLovely post. The food is mouth-watering! Yummy. Beautiful photos!
Happy Saint Pat's Day!
Anna
Your table looks beautiful! I love the deep green plaid tablecloth! And the placemats that look like irish sweaters!

ReplyDeletegreat tablescape TFS :D
ReplyDeleteyour opening picture took my breath away - FABULOUS...I covet those white small plates - GORGEOUS..
ReplyDeleteYour table is absolutely wonderful and I'm glad to you did do St Patrick's Day first :-)
thanks for stopping by and reminding me about the gummy bears..I had heard that before but forgot - ohh getting old - not good..
I'm afraid I don't set a table for St. Patty's Day - I wonder why?? I'll have to give that a try!!!
thanks for yours!!!
Hi Kathleen, You must actually be Irish (I'm only Irish on March 17)! Love your tablescape and also your tabletop from your prior post. The lacey salad plates are so pretty, really like the napkins and the napkin rings with gypsophilia. You know how to set a pretty table...appears you know how to cook too! The chicken looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteYou invited me to your St Paddy's Day Crawl and I thank you for doing that and also for stopping by my place...as a matter of fact I do have some more Irish to show...I will be posting an Irish themed post for Tea Time Tuesday at Sandi's http://sandimyyellowdoor.blogspot.com and at Wanda's Tuesday Tea for Two at http://theplumedpen.blogspot.com. I was planning to post those on the 9th, and then a St. Paddy's tablescape for Tablescape Thursday on the 18th...I think I could join in your party too and I'd be honored to do so...I also have some more photos from my trip to Ireland...and I DO know how to make corned beef and cabbage with the best of 'em...you've set my brain in motion, thinking Irish. By the way, I have 2 blogs so I could decide to post on either one. http://foodasart-beth.blogspot.com and http://beyondthegardengate-beth.blogspot.com.
Thanks again,
Blessings - Beth
Such a lovely table. The plaid and crystal really show off the Ireland factor without being cutesy--just my kind of table. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I love this entry, not only for the tablescape, which I admire, since I do not excel in the fine art of table setting. It takes patience, and finesse, two traits I lack.
ReplyDeleteBut I also like the wonderfully-spring-y colors chosen. The same colors I chose for my kitchen, many years ago, and still love to this day.
I'll be checking out the 'Saint Patrick's Party Day Parade.'
Try saying all of that after an ale or two.
love it!! I love all the glass with all the masculine fabric and dishes. Gotta love the delicate clovers.
ReplyDeleteI love your G post! Great looking table! Can I come to dinner?
ReplyDeleteLovely table and the food looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteThe chicken looks so good and the table beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!
i adore your post! I collect Belleek and have the sweetest cups, saucers, vases, teapots and it is so delicate. I guess it's the double whammy because not only do I love green, I'm Irish!
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks fantastic!! Just found your St. Pat's Party, will attend! Your chicken is awesome. Just love everything green on your table!~
ReplyDeleteSherry
Hi, sorry I've been away for awhile. I've been super busy and have not had time to come visit.
ReplyDeleteI love this tablescape. I'm wanting to come steal your plaid tablecloth. LOL
Love the real shamrocks too.
I'm off to see what else I've been missing.
Hugs,
Joanne
