KISS ME I'M IRISH



Celebrating an Irish Heritage



Beginning in early March I enjoy bringing out the green, a nod to my Irish family from my mom's side. A few favorite things I brought home from my trip to Ireland find a place in a vignette I set on the table. Vintage cards, coasters and fine Irish linen are a few of my favorites.  I enjoy making and serving Irish treats before and on St. Patrick's Day. 




An Irish Angel keeps watch




Favorite coasters with Irish Blessings



Shamrocks and Lace




Mushroom with green glitter




Cherubs and Shamrocks




Strawberries with green fruit dip



Irish linen and green napkin rings


My favorite white platter and tea set, Wedgwood RL Claire



Coffee and Shamrock shortbread with green sprinkles




Favorite Vintage card



Irish Linen






Cards sent to me from a dear friend




My favorite Irish breakfast
Creamy Irish Kerrygold Butter, Soda bread and jam












May an Irish
Angel always
watch over you





 A Grand Trip ~ Ireland





A wee bit Irish, my grandson

Connor and I want to wish you a very Happy St. Patricks Day!
I hope you will leave a comment  so we will know you stopped in.

    Such a lovely post. I simply adore the card with the two Irish lassies on it and you served my very favorite butter. Isn't it the best?? However, the star of the post is that handsome Irish lad - happy St. Pat's to you and Connor!!

    Emily, He is just gorgeous and the pose is priceless!! I enjoyed seeing all of your Irish goodies, especially the beautiful Wedgwood china. Ireland was one of the best places I ever visited. The people are so friendly and the scenery is unbelievable. I can't wait to return, and I hope it's soon. Your collage of Irish sites is wonderful. Linda

    Conner is certainly a handsome Irish Lad! His eyes are as deep and blue as the sea. Your post is lovely and there are so many things to see. My first thought is that I love the Irish angel standing guard amongst the shamrocks. The images of the vintage cards are so pretty and so perfect for Saint Patrick's Day. The linens, and the tea set, and that wonderful looking soda bread (I do want to find a good soda bread recipe to bake for my Irish husband), and the marvelous Jam - Oh my, I just can't decide what I like best - it is all so lovely.

    I used to make Irish soda bread many years ago. I was dating a man of Irish descent and his mother gave me her recipe. Not sure what I did with it, but it was the best I've ever had.

    I Had that Wedgwood set, but gave it to a friend when we moved and combined two houses into one.

    Emily, I always regret not going to Ireland. We were in Scotland and decided to spend a few more days there rather than go with our plans to travel to Ireland. I've enjoyed seeing all your pretty Irish things and Conner is an absolute doll! Thank you for joining the Share Your Style party.
    Hugs,

    Oh Emily, I would love to sit and chat with you about eachnof our trips to Ireland, while enjoying some soda bread. I bought some Kerrygold butter to have on hand. Don't you just love the color of it??!! I'd love a cup,of tea from your gorgeous Wedgewood China, while the Irish Angel is watching over us. Your Connor is so handsome. My grandson Connor is 14 now! Happy St. Paddy's Day to you!

    LOVE all your Irish vignettes, and the Irish soda bread looks sooo good. Did you make yours? We have a lot of Irish heritage in our family, too. Wishing you and Conner, a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Conner is just precious..or is he too big now to like being called "precious"? Maybe he would like "cool" better. :) xo Babs

    Dear, dear Emily! GOOD MORNING! OK, that Irish butter is enough to make me stop and find something yummy upon which to slather a generous amount! Soda bread sounds just perfect! I so love those little shamrocks; the green is intense as an emerald, and what a lovely heritage you have. I am very fond of Irish music, culture (I love that they are a horse-loving culture) and the people. I have to admit, I love an Irish man's eyes....so distinct!

    Many happy wishes to you and thank you so much for visiting this morning. I miss you all, but posting once in a while is probably what I'll be doing as I get my book ready. HUGS! Anita
