A Touch of Green

With St. Patrick's day only a week away, I thought I would bring you a table with a wee Bit-O-Green.

OK, maybe a little more than a Wee bit.  It's a LOT of Green.
This Green on Green on Green table setting starts out on a Green and White Ralph Lauren tablecloth 
with bright green plates sitting atop Faux wood chargers.  The Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage plates 
would welcome any
 hungry Leprechaun to join the dinner party. 
 Signs of Spring are showing not only in the weather but in more Bordallo Pinheiro plates with sweet butterflies dancing on top. 
 Looks like the Leprechaun has taken of his Bow Tie and used it as a napkin.  A lucky clover is attached to the light spring green napkin ring.  
 In keeping with the fun lightheartedness of this table I've got a few surprises for a Centerpiece and Candle holders.  
A BP salad bowl is filled with all kinds of "Greens".  Large kale, curly kale, asparagus, green beans, parsley, and an orange pepper for a POP of color.  
How precious are these tiny Boston Lettuce candle holders?  A votive cup was used and I wrapped a few lettuce leaves around, stuck the rest of the tiny lettuce inside after taking out the middle and placing a candle inside.  I've folded the leaves over to hide the wire.
Rocks are scattered on the table to give texture and give a more relaxed feeling in the Formal Dining Room.
I'm always on the hunt at Estate Sales for more BP.  It's so easy to mix and match.
Speaking of Estate Sales, I think my Silver has polished up quite nicely.  I think the monogram is a "W"  Click here to see what it looked like Before
This is probably not what I'll be toasting 'Ole St. Patty with but hey, it is Green!

I'm Linking this up with:

Welcome Spring!

 I've had ENOUGH winter!
  And we have only had about 2 inches of snow this year. 
 Can you tell that I am a transplanted Californian? 
I finally bit the Bullet and painted Chalkboard Paint onto a Silver Platter that I found at an Estate Sale
 for$10.00.  
It is now my absolute Favorite!!!
I have created a semi-tablescape although  I mostly want to show you my recent finds. 
 Is that cheating? 
 I found this cute little Bunny Candle at Tuesday Morning last week.  I like how natural looking he is on top of the moss nest from Nell Hill's. 
Huge Score!
  I went to two Estate Sales last week and picked up a set of these Hummingbird dishes by American Atelier for $25.oo.  I'll be using them in a full tablescape soon!  
And, I scored 12 Bordallo Pinheiro plates at another Estate Sale for $39.00. 
 I always kind of get the creeps when I go to an Estate Sale.  But my dear friend Kristy always assured me 
that "they just downsized and went to Florida!". 
 At least they are assured that their things have found a loving new "home".  
Does it count that I "found" these Milk Glass pieces while cleaning out my Pantry?  See Here
They belonged to Mr. Beaux's Grandmother.  
This sweet teacup was a Mother's Day gift from Miss Beaux.  She picked it out at Anthropologie. 
 She knows what I like!
See how the leaves repeat on the saucer
 and the Cabbage plate...
I have no idea how old these plates are but they sure are pretty resting atop my Butler's Pantry white dishes. 
 Black checked napkins are from ?? 
The flowers I bought last week are still hanging around. 
 I LOVE Costco flowers!
 They are the freshest and the best price!

Until Next Time...
