St. Patrick's Day Table for One

When you think of St. Patrick's Day, traditionally, you think of shamrocks, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Irish Soda Bread, Beer, and mustard. We Tablescapers think of Irish linen, Waterford crystal, and Beleek - to name a few things. Pat came up with a tablescape to capture both ways of thinking:

Over view of the table

The place setting

Flatware is "King James" by Oneida

Pat used this unusual shamrock-shaped green plate as a salad plate

The dinner plate is "Racine" by Hutschenreuther

The vintage Irish Linen napkin really was ironed (although it doesn't look like it....)

Not quite ecru - and not white - the placemat sits on a dark green tablecloth

Heavy and gorgeous - glassware is "Omega" Marquis by Waterford

Waterford Salt/Pepper shakers are a gift from Pat's husband for Mother's Day a few years ago

Even mustard looks rich in a crystal bowl.......ready for the corned beef and cabbage. In my case, ready for the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.....

Pat received this beautiful Waterford vase as an engagement gift from her future Mother-in-law nearly 45 years ago

The candle holders are inexpensive crystal by Shannon
