A Little Bit of Blarney

I took the Valentines Day decorations down today.

There wasn't a lot , so it didn't take long.

Nothing like Christmas.

Thank God !

Anyhoo...

I did a little Easter, a little Spring and a little St. Patty's Day.

Today , I'm sharing the St. Patty's Day.

I really love St. Patricks Day.

Maybe cause I love all things Irish.

( Nope , no Irish in my blood , just love it )

I always make my family corn beef and cabbage on St. Patricks Day.

Well, except one year ,

I decided to mix it up a little and made Shepard's Pie.

Not a hit.

They wondered where the corn beef and cabbage was.

I haven't messed with the menu since.

Although if I could find a really good ( and easy) recipe for Irish Stew, I might.

If anyone has one , please send it my way.

Ok, Ok ....

St. Patrick's Day decorations ~

My sideboard in the entry all decked out in celebration of St Patrick.

But I had to include my pears...

When I spotted this footed green bowl at the thrift store ,

 I knew it would be perfect for my little pears.

I like milk glass.

And I like vases.

I have quite a few milk glass vases.

I found the boxwood ( faux) at HobLob,

I knew I'd find somewhere to use them :)

My photo isn't the best ,

but the little dessert glass has vines of shamrocks around it.

I think it was $1 at the junk store .

She has lots and lots of free printables.

Hop over and check them out !

My thrift store dove.

( Have you noticed I've got a thing for birds ? )
