♣♣Shamrock Supper♣♣ Napkin Give Away

I have to do St. Patrick's!  There are so few Tablescape Thursdays till the big day!  And I have collected a lot of Irish themed things over the years.

Picture 1955

My centerpiece is a live Shamrock I was given by my dear friend, Audrey ,two years ago.  These plants  are funny.  Just when you think it is on its last legs and you are thinking about pitching it, it springs to life.

Picture 1939

I stuck some live baby breath in to make it a little fuller, and put it in a shamrock basket.

Picture 1948

My friend The Tablescaper gave me an early birthday gift Sat.  These adorable shamrock plates. Perfect for this table.

Picture 1951

I used a white Gibson plate, a shamrock napkin, and a small shamrock bowl.

Picture 1945

Quilted shamrock mats over green stripes.

Green bee glasses and white flatware.

Dinner tonight is Potted Pork Chops, Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Broccoli.

I used Pioneer Woman's Recipe for the Pork chops.

Good, but my mom's were better!  :)

You can find the recipe here.

I promised a little celebratory give away each post up to the 3rd Annual St. Patrick's Day Blog Crawl here on March 15th.

Tonight .........6 of these pretty yellow and white new  napkins from Pottery Barn.

If you win and want more, I believe they are still available.

All followers are eligible, just say you want in on the napkins.  That's it!

DRAWING IS NOW CLOSED.
Be sure I have a way to contact you! Some of you have no reply as your email, so please be sure I can follow you back to your blog!

  22. I'm visiting from Susan's party--couldn't resist clicking on your photo. We're half Irish, so St. Patrick's Day is a beloved holiday around here. And green is my favorite color! So I love your tablescape. What fun! (By the way, your dinner looks awfully good, too!)

  26. Are you Irish, Kathleen? Hubby is! I love your Irish table, so pretty. My favorite is the green bee stems. I want some of them but I cannot find any affordable ones. The clover plates are very nice too....Christine

    ReplyDelete
  27. Kathleen, how do you do it? Just when I think you must be all out of new ways to display The Green, you create another St. Patrick's table. Your new shamrock dessert/salad plates are great. I really like the shamrock bowls. Are those new too???

    Hope your plant lives forever!

    ReplyDelete

  31. Hi KM !
    I came over to see your new tatoo...I kept looking and looking thinking it was real. I
    thought "now this lady is such a rebel" LOL.
    I think you should wear that sleeve all the time..
    I see you are getting ready for your Irish Crawl. If I remember it well.. I need to purchase a couple of bottles of Irish Whiskey
    and get really really plastered and then blog.
    Am I right ? Can you imagine how fun that could be ? Not....
    Tablescapper girl is so sweet and you guys are
    such neat friends - I wanna come hang out with
    you guys sometime :o)
    Hugs,

  33. Hi Kathleen! I am your newest follower, although I thought I already did follow you! You certainly inspired my St.Pattys tablescape this year. I took my inspiration from your last years setting with the coins. ;) I'll be posting it on the 17th. I love your setting for this years table too. Very cute! I would love a chance to win in your giveaway as well! Thanks!

  34. I've been so busy these past few weeks. I'm a girl scout leader and we have been doing cookie sales after cookie sales and it's about all I have time for. But we are coming to an end (thank goodness).

    When I saw you did one of your St. Patrick Day tablescapes I had to stop by to check it out. You do the best St. Patties tables :)

    Once again you didn't let me down either. Great job.

    Oh and YES I would love to be entered in your giveaway :)

  37. You have the best collection of shamrock goodies -- I am supremely jealous. Our stores here have had NOTHING this year. If I have my DR cleared out I will have to join your party with what I have. That's a big if...

  39. Got a little Irish in you Kathleen? Try showing it a little more would you. Lol.
    I can't wait to see what else you have. Your St. Patrick's Day decorations are starting to rival my Christmas Santa collection.

    ReplyDelete
  40. You have me in a St Paddy's mood now! Just wonderful! Those bee glasses are the BEST! Love them!!! Those yellow napkins would be a wonderful prize. I dont have one yellow item in my tablescape treasures. What cute little bowls!

    ReplyDelete
  41. St. Patrick is my homeboy!!! As a product of the Catholic school system from 1st grade through college, I TOTALLY find the humor in that! You've been able to keep that Shamrock plant alive for two whole years???!!??! I commend you! Besides my son, I can't think of anything I've been able to keep alive that long! :-) I'm not Irish, but I will try to put together a table for your party. I'm not sure if I can pull it off. I'll try. Now I'm nervous...! Have a wonderful week!

  42. What a beautiful table. Love the shamrock bowls. Love the yellow summer napkins also.

  43. Being Irish, St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays. I host a dinner every year and am gearing up for this year. I love your table. Such a great collection of fun stuff.

    I'm a new follower and want in on those great napkins! :-)

  46. Love your table Kathleen. I need to gather up my St Pat's tablesetting things.

  47. Love what you did. I have been scheming and gathering for St Patty's day also. I just love that holiday. The napkins are so cute! I am counting down the days to the blog crawl!

  48. You're definitely ready for the big day! Can't wait to see what other treats you have for us as the day gets closer.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I forgot to say I want in on the napkins. You asked about the cushions and pillows in the breakfast nook. No, I did not make them, but I did make the curtains which match. The fabric and the pillows came from Hancock a few years ago. I got the whole bolt of fabric for $5,00 a yard -- my kind of deal. Sadly they don't seem to have anything like this at all anymore.

  50. Love the table, very pretty! So nice of the Tablescaper, lovely plates! Looking forward to party with you and your homie :)

  51. Kathleen, You had me at the Shamrock centerpiece..love that, but then you threw in the food...and I started to salivate! Save me a place at that table...it is just delightful!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Kathleen, your St. Patrick's Day tablescape is just delightful! I have a shamrock plant I've had for years -- thought I'd lost it a couple of years ago, then after a few months, it popped up again. Mine's not pretty enough for a centerpiece, though! What fun to enjoy your delicious meal at this table!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hi Kathleen.

    I would love to win the napkins.

    Your tablescape is fantastic! I love St. Patrick's Day. I looked all over the place for shamrock plates, but I couldn't find any in our area.

    See you on the 15th. La

Mine right now is sad looking!! Thanks for sharing and I am a follower and Kathleen, I would love to have the napkins!! Happy TS!! Andrea

I can't believe your shamrock has lived that long. It must be because of all of that luck you have. As always, dinner looks sooo good. Of course I want in on the chance to win those pretty napkins. laurie

  79. Hello! You must have a storage room full of things to work with as you seem to have every occasion covered. I wish you were close enough to borrow fun. Again, there is a sense of fun at your table, and I imagine all are just that.

  81. Kathleen-I want the napkins--and I wouldn't mind having those great bee glasses either :) I'm just Green with envy!!! :) I would rather be Mrs. Rainbow than Memaw :). I suggested Weezer from Steel Magnolias and they nixed it :) Gotta check out what potted pork chops are! Have a good weekend!

  85. I think I missed this post first go round! Love the Irish homeboy. My mom used to do something like those porkchops but with the onion gravy mix. I don't cook enough porkchops...your birthday mate will eat them but they aren't his faves. Happy to have you join in. I know you have plenty of good recipes already in your head! Which new mags did you get?
