ALL Rolled Into One~ Winner and One More!

This is the last post before the Third Annual St. Patrick's Day Blog Crawl here ON the 15th.  It won't be up till the 15th, so check in the afternoon Tuesday to link up. 

There will be a $60 dollar give away from CSN , a chance for all followers who leave a comment.  Hope you are joining in on the fun!

"To celebrate the blog party on the 15th, CSN will help you swing into Spring with some great outdoor playsets. You can check them out here! "
Beverly at How Sweet the Sound said to do PINK and green this week.  I just couldn't mix pink in with my Irish green, but this is pink and green...

table 3718

table 3719

And I did these shower favors in pink and green.  Tags were made from pretty pink folders I got at the dollar store. The favors are heart shaped stainless steel measuring spoons from Christmas Tree Shop.  I use mine all the time!

table 4303

table 4304

table 4307

table 4310

All packed up and ready to go in a green canvas tote from Pottery Barn I got for  .99.  They fold up, I took a whole bunch as they are very handy!

I am also joining Gollum for Foodie Friday , Erin at Ekat's Kitchen for Potluck Friday, Laurie at Bargain Hunting with Laurie for Favorite Things, and finally, The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays.

Picture 1909Since it is Lent there will be meatless Fridays here.

I don't like fish!  :(  I made filet of flounder , dipped in egg wash, and dredged in a mixture of toasted crushed pecans and panko.  Some fried shrimp and lemon butter on the side.  You can make a little lemon sauce for the fish, but we like our with fresh lemon and a drizzle of butter.

Potato Cake is rough mashed potato with scallion and goat cheese, put in  greased a muffin cup and baked with a topping of bacon. 

I want to share a little bargain with you!  Just remember you saw it here first, LOL!

Cute little plates, good for appetizers, desserts, chunky  with a little ledge.

Picture 1989

No big deal, right?  From the Dollar store...

BUT  LOOK!

Picture 1987 That's right!  Crate and Barrel.  So you never know what you will find

if you keep an open mind!  :)

When I told A., The Tablescaper, she was off in a flash to get her dozen!

And the winner of the pink and green Waverly towels is...

table 4176

Sarah from Hyacinths for the Soul!  Sarah, email your addy please.

Susan from Thoughts from over the Rainbow still hasn't sent her addy, come on Susan!  :)

Tonight's little give away for followers who leave a comment is...from William Sonoma, adorable Spring Pancake Molds.

Picture 1991

Picture 1990

It will make such a cute  blog post.  You can have those little animals marching across a plate of whipped cream puddles!  :)

Thanks for visiting and see you ON the 15th for the big day! Get ready for the soda bread! My recipe here.

    I guess you do never know what you'll find! Leave it to you, though :) I still can't believe you don't like any fish - not even one? There's a whole ocean out there!

    You find the very best bargains, Kathleen! I never come across anything good at the Dollar Store. I love your pink and green combo ..it's very spring like and pretty!

    Those pancake molds are adorable! I bought my daughter-in-law the Halloween and Christmas ones to use for my grandson's pancakes, so adding an Esster set would be fun!

    Your fish dish looks yummy...you don't like any fish? Do you eat vegetarian on Fridays in Lent? I could live on pizza Fridays :)

    I certainly don't need any more plates (ha ha), but the price is certainly right for the C & B plates at the dollar store. I'll take your portion of fish :-) The pancake molds are adorable so count me in!

    Crate and Barrel at the Dollar store? Seriously? I love your pink and green tablescape. I am especially mad about your plaid too, in the tablecloth and the bow! :)) I would love a chance to win your latest giveaway and will be back on the 15th! Congrats to Sarah! I know she is going to love those gorgeous towels! And for the record, I don't like fish either but ate Salmon for dinner tonight. :( LOL!

    Hi Kathleen!!

    Long time, no talk to!! I sure have missed following your postings. (limited net avail. in FL)

    Your pink & green tablescape is lovely & those little favors are adorable & soooo useful, too.
    I agree, you do find the bestest bargains. Color me green with envy over the PB tote, the CB plates and the beautiful Waverly gifts that Sarah won!!

    I fear I'm going to have to use last year's St. Patrick's post, as I am just now getting down my Valentines day items. The trip home drained me & I just don't have the energy to bring all my Irish up from the basement. I must be getting old. LOL

    Either way, I'll join in your party, though...wouldn't miss it for the world!!

    Hugs,
    Rett

    You didn't even know what a treasure you had unearthed at the dollar store. It's amazing what happens when you take that little price sticker off. You never know what's underneath it.

    What a fun post...love the pink and green. What wonderful little party favors and so cute! I'm still planning on playing along, but we just tore out the kitchen countertop, sink and removed everything from my cabinets here...I'm looking around my house thinking I'll set up a little table in the driveway or garage. What a mess!
