Tabletop Tuesday

I am joining Marty at A Stroll thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday..

Just a few of my Irish things..

table 3335

 

This is a Peggy Karr plate.  Do you know about her?  I didn’t either until a few years ago.  My friend, Cynthia, has a huge collection of them..amazing collection, and got us all interested.. If you look closely you can find the four leaf clover…see it??

table 865

Check out all the amazing designs.  I have one rectangle plate, and one that Cynthia sent me…

I wish she would do a guest post here and show you her collection!

table 3271I made some Popovers for you…Some Northern hospitality…:)

table 3270I made them in a molten lava pan…I got the recipe here, Carol’s , There’s Always Thyme to Cook… via Ina I believe..

table 3325

With some butter and jam?  Blueberry from Trader Joe’s..

table 3330Have a cup of tea, too…Always time to have tea with a friend..:)

Yesterday was my birthday and I bought myself some cooking/table related gifts…I always know just what to get me!

I’ll show them to you soon!

Thanks for coming…and I renewed my membership with Mr. Linky today, so he better be ready for the party on the 16th.. Hope you are coming!

  33. Your tabletops look so beautiful. Please take a minute to pop over to my place too. I would love to have you at Terra Del Sole (Land of the Sun).

    Your Irish items looks so delightful.

  34. Kathleen, what wonderful looking popovers ... They definitely "popped". :)

    You know I love your PK platter and the hydrangea definitely enhances it.

    I hope you have a wonderful turnout for your St. Patrick's Day Blog Crawl. (And yes, I read your comment about guest blogging.)

  35. The popovers look scrumptious! I made some once -- they turned out well. I think I might have used a muffin pan? You are right -- they are not common in the South.

    It's time to try them again!

  40. Happy birthday sweet lady!

    The tablescape that you have posted this week is so utterly charming and pretty with all those cheerful greens and Irish motifs!

    This is my second time ever joining this delightful meme. Precious Marty's, 'Tablescape Tuesday' is such a pleasurable treat and a joy to partake in!~ I so enjoy meeting as many of you, my fellow participants, as I'm able to visit!

    You are most warmly invited and welcome my dear lady, to visit my little tea party 'in my little corner of the blogging world' as well my dear!..,

    This week's theme is a little bit 'dream-like', with partly an Alice In Wonderland 'feeling';(although it's not about that lovely story per se)~It is just that my post for this week is rather whimsical in nature; a ladies Spring afternoon tea, set in my dressing room closet,(next to my dressing table)..,It's been alot of fun!

    Cheers and hugs from Wanda Lee @ The Plumed Pen

  41. You have so many beautiful Irish things! Love the baby shoe!

    Yes, I know about the Peggy Karr glass, a neighbor introduced it to me a few years ago, she collects it. They sell it at a shop at St. Augustine!

    Those popovers look delicious!

    Happy Belated Birthday!

    Delicious and perfect-looking popovers!

  43. So sorry I missed your birthday, dear one. I am so far behind on my visits...so sorry. I've had so many things going on...painting a room, doing lots of basketball cheering, grandmotherly things right and left....whew...I'm gettin' too old for all this!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I've never, in my entire looong life, made popovers...I just have to give them a try. These are so luscious and beautiful.
