WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING


Celebrate St. Patrick's Day 


My Irish sweetheart, his eyes are always smiling!




We were on vacation last week, lots of green everywhere.





We were meeting my sister and brother in law at the beach.


  Since we all celebrate our Irish heritage I wanted to add a few things to decorate my kitchen island when we returned home. 
After a six hour drive coming home on Friday I wanted to celebrate with a St. Patrick's Eve dinner on Saturday which meant I needed to pick up a few things green from the supermarket, no time for baking.

A Kalanchoe plant, lots of green with white blooms beginning to open. My little cherub gives a nod to St. Patrick's Day. A perfect look for the kitchen island.





A cake plate and dome hold little green cakes





A white linen handkerchief was a souvenir from Ireland












Fairies 
under the 
cloche



And, Mushrooms with 
sparkles



Reading Fairy





Dinner









And, a wicker tray to serve Irish coffee in a pretty MacKenzie-Childs Parchment Check cup and saucer




Heavy whipping cream whipped into a delicious topping with sprinkles. 








And back home in Atlanta, my sister added a few flowers to a Belleek Shamrock Vase



And Lulu celebrated my sister coming home!







May an Irish Angel always watch over you.


Thank you for stopping by. I hope you will leave a comment so I will know you stopped by. I read and appreciate your comments.
Now I am going to catch-up with you and see what you've been up to. Look for a vacation post from me soon.

  7. Oh what a sweet post Emily! Of course you had to celebrate in a big way! The Irish coffee in the MKC cup left me swooning! Your fairies under the cloche are adorable! I swear St. Pat's day is getting more and more popular every year, there was a huge celebration in Birmingham all weekend and Sat they had blocks of Southside closed off for all kinds of events. I am impressed after a week away you came home and decorated and cooked! ☘️

  15. Hi! I didn't ever see your first comment, and I'm grateful that you tried again. The teacup with the whipping cream and green sparkles really caught my eye...my Irish eye, that is. Yes, I'm Irish, too. My daddy's name was Brandon Griffith, and his mother's family left their home on The Isle of Brandon to come to America. They arrived through Ellis Island and eventually landed in Texas. My maternal ancestors eventually traveled West and participated in the Oklahoma Land Run. I'm Potato Famine Irish on both sides, and so proud of these brave determined men and women who came before me. The many mountains and valleys that they overcame in their lives to pave the way for my generation to fare so well, makes me grateful and proud of my forefathers and mothers. Thanks for inviting us for a peek. CherryKay
