I know it is too early for this! I had no intentions of posting this table yet, but this week's entry is half done.
I had to run to the doc, and by the time I got back, the light was gone!
So, I had this one I had never posted.
I know you are so used to seeing my round kitchen table, but it has a leaf, so it is also oval. Lots of room for the platter of corned beef and cabbage and bowl of potatoes and carrots and basket of fresh Irish Soda Bread! :)
I used a white cotton cable knit throw as the cloth. Green quilted shamrocks for the mats.
Plates from HG last year, and tureens for my Irish Flag Soup are from WSonoma Outlet.
Green Bee glasses from CTS. The moss basket is also from CTS and I put a vase with fresh daffodils inside. I put a small Irish flag underneath with an Irish Lass and Lad.
The ceramic shamrock rings I have had a long time.
Have an Irish Coffee before you go, and please mark Mar. 15th on your bloggy calendar so you don't forget the blog crawl here and a give away! I would love it if you grabbed the button from my sidebar for your blog!
For Foodie and Flashback Friday ...Popovers

Next week it will be non Irish, but then after that, all bets are off! :)
Thanks for visiting!
I am joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday and Gollum for Foodie Friday and Suzy at Kitchen Bouquets for Flashback Friday..
"Top O The Evening to you Kathleen"!!! Beautiful table and LOVE the cable trow as a tablecloth. SO IRISH! The Irish Coffee Looks YUMMY and What did I miss??? Are you having a party??? I have so many things running on my blog I "MISS TOO MUCH"!!! I need to figure out how to narrow the people I want to watch ALL THE TIME onto an easier method of watching(did that make sense?)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Week to you,
I Hope that was a routine Doc visit?
Hugs to you My Other Connolly,
Donna
Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to see all that green!!
A very cute St. Patty's day table. Love your shamrock plates, they are so pretty. My dad would have loved this table. He was Irish and took it very seriously. People were always giving him something Irish on St. Patricks day,
it was also my Grandfathers birthday.
My post is pics from last winter, so figure I should use them before everyone is sick of red. I have to admit I am getting a bit weary of it myself, and wish I had enough green to change to that for the next month before we go into spring, but probably not.
Now what is a blog crawl?? I saw that somewhere else too, and have No idea what that is!'
Could you explain please........ Thanks!!
Have a great day hon,
blessings, Nellie
Beautiful Kathleen! The plates, glassware, soup bowls all go together wonderfully and I love how you made the moss basket hold the fresh daffodils. Gorgeous! I look forward to joining your party.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your table all ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style! It is just perfect and your dishes, stemware and accessories are just "perfect". It would be impossible for me to pick my favorite item on your table as I love it all (and wish it were mine, too).
ReplyDeleteLove the table, you are so good having a backup plan! Looking forward to joining the party.
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely getting ME in the green spirit.
ReplyDeleteI love those napkins rings the best of all, but the plates and all the "Irish Green" linen are pretty perfect too. Your party ought to be fun.
Beautiful, Kathleen! I am in the green mood, can't wait to party with you! I've already stocked up on my Lucky Charms :)
ReplyDeleteYou sure are pushing the season (but I'm glad you went to the doc)! Love that throw as a tablescloth!
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
Hi, Kathleen! You are REALLY ready for St. Patrick's day!!! Great idea to use the cable knit!!! I was in a great little store here in Lee's Summit a couple of weekds ago called Doherty & Sullivan's Irish Goods. They participated in the annual Chocolate Crawl, so I stopped in while bopping from store to store. There were so many cool things in the store, and we ended up staying much longer than anticipated as the shop owner regaled us with tales and customs. I have had many Irish (wedding) clients in the past and have learned some wonderful customs from them, too. I've never had a St. Patrick's Day party, though. I may have to do that so that I can join in your Blog Crawl on the 15th. Sounds like a lot of fun! Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by my blog earlier this evening. Always a pleasure to hear from you! And for the record, American Bandstand was the best!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, dear..remember how I told you last year that I just couldn't do an Irish table as I had nothing to do one with. You said, "now, I know you can do it, bj, so just get busy." And, so I made a trip to the Dollar Tree and Walmart and finally came up with a SORT of Irish table. You are such an inspiration, girlfriend and I love ya.
ReplyDeleteYou asked in your recent comment on my English loves if I had any thing from Ireland..I had forgotten that a good friend went to Ireland last year and brought me a tiny little ceramic shamrock. So glad I remembered it..I will use it in all it's glory...:)))
Your table, as always, looks amazing. :))
Love that throw!!! irish cables for an irish setting. The plates are soo cool. Man I so wish we had a HG here. Your table looks great.. We are having corned beef and cabbage right??
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute table and that Irish Creme...yum....I have your party date down. Should be fun.
ReplyDeleteKathleen,it is NOT too early for YOU to be posting St. Pat's day 'scapes! You've got so many Irish themed accessories, I know you need to fit them all in through the month! I LOVE these shamrock dishes! The daffodils in the centerpiece add a nice pop of colour and spring touch. I sure would like one of those Irish coffees while I'm blog hopping tonight! Grabbing your Blog Crawl button so I'll be joining in!
ReplyDeleteDD
You know I ♥ this table...it is green! Thanks for not doing a pink one!
ReplyDeleteGREEN... my favorite color!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen! Always fun and inspirational for me to visit your place. The Irish coffee looks divine! Thanks!
...Karen
Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use the throw as the table cloth! I was admiring it and thinking what an unusual and unique table cloth it was! I love it!
I love all the shamrock dishes too and I see my new favorite soup crocks with lids! ;-)
This table is definitely "wearing o' the green"!
Put those shamrock plates to me in your will...please!!! Love all your Irish pieces and look forward to the party. I just put up your link on my blog tonight!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen....love the new header..that tablecloth is so pretty...I'll assume it was one of your bargains from the WS outlet....and what a good idea using the cable knit throw as a table cover...
ReplyDeleteI'll join you for an Irish coffee! I can't wait for St. Patrick's Day. It is one of my favorite holidays and I always enjoy serving a nice dinner to celebrate. Your table is most inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the boost. Your lovely table got me in the St. Patrick's day mood. That Irish coffee is so YUMMY looking.The bee glasses and dinnerware are just wonderful, right up my dish lovin' alley!
ReplyDeleteI love your green table! The dishes are so pretty and everything just looks so happy. It just got me in the green mood! What a great backup table.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the crawl party is but if you could explain I would love to crawl for a change...lol
Blessings My Friend,
Are those little butter pats cut into shamrock shapes? You put Martha Stewart to shame. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThis is fun and the price was right.
Kathleen, how wonderful that you had this tablescape to pull out of your back pocket this week! You have gotten our creative juices flowing with this pretty St. Patrick's Day table. I love your green glasses and the darling napkin rings!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, you have such a good spirit and great energy. That Irish coffee looked delicious. Now I am in a mood for Irish soda bread! xo, Barbara F.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better since you said you had to run to the Doc. Love those shamrock plates. I don't think our store even had them last year???? I could go for a big piece of Irish soda bread right now with some melted butter:-) Reminds me to buy some caraway seeds. Ah to be walking in the green hills of Ireland and to hear my husband yell at the sheep to get out of the road:-)
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Hope the doctor visit went well, Kathleen! I so looking forward to see green!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the knitted throw, it captures Ireland so accurately! I was actually already planning my St. Pats Day table in my head. You've given me some inspiration. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMindy
Your St. Patrick's Day table is beautiful, Kathleen. I don't have anything that says St. Patrick on it but with so many dishes, I am sure I can find something green. Will they do? If, yes, I'll see you then at the party!...Christine
ReplyDeleteOh girl...I was at Homegoods today and let me tell you it took all my restraint not to buy all their shamrock items. I am definately looking for something I can use. I can't miss out on a party you know!!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, you made me laugh with this post...I don't think it is ever too early for a bright and happy St. Paddies themed table. The popovers look delish too!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, Looking forward to your party. This table is so festive. I really love your dinnerware. I am anxious to get a nice corned beef and make it - it's a once-a-year treat.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Beth
Top-o-the-night to ya! Fun table! Lovin' the knitted cloth and the popovers look amazing:@)
ReplyDeletePaddy's day is coming!!! This table is wonderful and I look forward to you making good on your threat of "all bets being off!"
ReplyDeleteHey! I don't remember those popovers being there when I visited earlier. ;-) They look wonderful. My husband has a popover pan. In the near 16 years we've been married he has yet to make popovers. I think now is the time. I've forwarded your blog to him and will be tapping my feet until I have one.
ReplyDeleteI just love St Pat's Day. I have already been planning on what is going to be on the menu. I have a set of dishes in mind. I don't know where I saw them or if I just dreamed them up. Love your table! The napkin rings are cute!
ReplyDeleteKathleen- your table is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love the green goblets!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog-

Oh Lassie, you are puttin' me into an Irish mood! I remember your lad and lassie from last year. They are so pretty. You should have the best luck of anyone, because you have so many wonderful shamrocks at your house. Your table looks beautiful, and that popover is making my mouth water. Did you really have to take such good photos of it? I wasn't hungry until I saw that. laurie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table! I love your shanmrock shaped butter pats...you think of everything!
ReplyDeleteI'll be a part of your St. Pat's party, Kathleen! I'd LOVE an Irish coffee right now ...it looks so good!
Irish coffee and a popover. Love it! I've got the party on the calendar and adding your button to the sidebar. I'll need to think this one through. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. ~ Sarah
Love your cable knit throw on your table! Your popovers look delish :-)
ReplyDeleteKathleen-Why am I not surprised that you just happened to have an "extra" St. Pats tablescape lying around?? :) Love the throw and the glasses. I will put your button on my sidebar!
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun! I don't usually decorate for St. pat's Day, but this year, the wheels in my brain are already turning. Thank you for sharing your wonderful design. I drool over your individual tureens! Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteyum! popovers! another great table, Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Green and white is so crisp and refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI have those little figurines!
I hope you are feeling better!
Katherine
I like that you just happen to have a table ready for those times when you aren't able to get one together....that's what I call being prepared. As always you make the ordinary something special.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU ~ THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU so much for the Snowman movie! It arrived safely and is now with me while I visit my father in central NY. My niece is with us and she will enjoy it very much too!
Your tablescape is so fun. Using an "Irish knit" throw is such a great idea for the tablecloth. How beautiful it looks.
I really enjoy all your ideas... so fun and fresh!
Thank you again, Kathleen ~ It's wonderful to have such sweet friends in blogland!
Have a lovely weekend! ~Maria
I love it and can't wait for the blog crawl. I put the button up on my blog.
ReplyDeleteWillow
Oh to have one of those popovers right now! It is almost time for the green and last week just thinking about it made me go buy a brisket and cabbage!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen! Your St.Patty's table is perfect! we are anticipating a delicious corned beef and cabbage dinner here soon, too! My youngest daughter is even going to make it to bring in to her office as most there have never had it!
ReplyDeleteThose popovers look yummie!
Have a beautiful week~
;-D Kathleen
Gotta love the wearin' of the green, Kathleen!!! I really like those green bee glasses. Are they a recent purchase at CTS? I haven't been out shopping for much of anything but groceries! Oh, and my Pioneer Woman cookbook. Maybe if I feel better tomorrow, I'll head out to see what green finery I can find. I have a few treasures to show for the par-tay! Get better! xo Sue
ReplyDeleteIt is so chilly that an Irish Coffee would be perfect right now! Love the green.
ReplyDeleteIrish Coffee would be sooooo good right about now. I wish I had some of those glasses. Will have to look for some. Popovers looks awesome. I have only had the yorkshire puddings with gravy..not popovers with jelly. Must put on the TO DO list. Thanks for joining me for FF. I missed seeing your link! Your a sweetheart to play along.
ReplyDeleteMY popovers don't even resemble your beauties..:((
ReplyDeleteAre you feeling any better? This has been a hard winter for you, hasn't it? You've been sick quite a lot. Hope you are much better soon.
xoxo
I have to tell you; your tablescapes are always amazing and this one is...You have a talent plus pretty nice dishes, crystal,linen and china. Love the look of that Irish Coffee.
ReplyDeleteRita
Kathleen, I'm just coming by to check on you. I'm so sorry you are not well. You are in my prayers. Get better soon! Hugs, laurie
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted this, though I'm sorry you're not feeling well and praying you feel GREAT SOON! :) Seeing this has definitely put me in the SPRING MODE and the hungry mode! It looks delish! Time for me to eat breakfast I think. :) Feel better, and thanks for the Info about the St Patricks Day Party - I'll have to have my grandchildren make more hats, just for it. :)
ReplyDeleteWait a minute! Back up there! You must tell me how you got those darling shamrock butters. Those are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhy March 15th? Is it to allow for full-scale turning of the stone on the 17th?!
