St. Patrick's Day tablesetting

17 years ago

Ya'll are such a bad influence...before coming here, I never would have thought to put little green men on my table. LOL!

Here's my first ever attempt at a St. Patrick's Day table. Wish I could have bought a couple more leprechauns, but that was all they had at Michaels.

I put a green damask tablecloth on and layered a white lace one over it. Unfortunately, you can't really see the green one in the photos. I used my Forest Green glass dinner plates, goblets and sherbets. The salads and B&B plates are "Clover" by Syracuse.

This plaque was a late addition to the table. After I had taken the other photos, I remembered I had this. So I plopped it down on the table too.

    DG, you have the lovliest dishes! The green glass dinner plates are wonderful and really set off the Clover salad and b&b plates. Tell us about the small covered green glass dishes. Are they individual butters? Love them!

    Thank you Lynn! You're right...they're individual covered butter dishes. They're a reproduction of Cameo depression glass. I found these for $2 a piece. I've been eyeing them in pink on ebay, but they're anywhere from about $7 on up there.

    That is absolutely beautiful! I love those dishes and all the green touches.
    I used that bucket fro a centerpiece too..bought it at Halloween to use in March! :)

    I love your covered butters. I bought 12 of the clear ones at WmSonoma outlet. I waited for them to go on sale at 50% off...so I got them for 2.50..next week they were back up to 5.00
    I looked on line for your green ones, but couldn't find them from a supplier, and ebay is too high plus the shipping..
    Great table!

    Kathleen, I had put a link in the other thread for the butter dishes. Let me find it again and I'll post it here too.

    Kathleen, here are the butter dishes. The price for them on ebay is ridiculous, isn't it! I would love to have a set of these in pink too, but I would need 6 of them and the cheapest price I saw started at $7 for each one.

    Lovely table DG, and those clover plates are so perfect for St. Pat's Day. Your green glass items just set them off to perfection. Cute centerpiece too, and I can't believe you even had the wide green ribbon for the chair bows. You always do such nice tables. Luvs

    dream..I just love this table. Those green dishes, goblets and sherbets are beautiful. Those B&B add a special touch to your tablesetting. I love your clover plates which are so delicate and pretty. The lace tablecloth is just perfect with everything as is all the special 'Green' touches you added >> Including the Bow on the Chair! Perfect table.

    Thanks, dream...I don't have enough GREEN :) to buy those!

    Dream, this table is just terrific! Everything is so themed and coordinated colour-wise. You have such pretty dishes/stemware. And your attention to detail is amazing....did you even put the green glass beads scattered on the table into shamrock/clover shapes? Now that is dedication to perfection! Great job!

    Perfection! I never tire of your beautiful tablesettings! Wherever did you find the "clover" dishes? Thank you for posting the link to the little butter plates. What a great price! I don't have the energy to get beyond the tablesettings in my head. LOL. My photo skills are seriously lacking! One of these days I'll get some photos taken and post. Until then I will live vicariously through your beautiful tables. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful tables.

    OMgosh, that's a wonderful table. Your table cloth is beautiful. Your salad plates and the green glassware, are just perfect. The bows on the chair backs, I could just go on and on. BEAUTIFUL!! - Gail

    What a pleasure it would be to sit down at your table! Everything is beautiful and the little touches you added keep the eye moving. I have never really been comfortable with gold flatware but they blend better than any silver ever would! And the use of tulle and the bows is awesome.

    Thanks for sharing!
