Decor To Adore

...and other bits of bliss

Decorating

Friday O’ Freebie

On the top of my places to visit wish list is Ireland. There are so many wonderful things that I would love to see there. Friday O’ Freebie.

Friday O' Freebie

I don’t do much in the way of decorating for St. Patrick’s Day given that some years Easter takes precedence. But this year I gathered up a few green bits and bobs and placed them on a tray.

Friday O' Freebie

Starting on Monday I will begin a two-week salute to all things Irish.

In the meantime let’s celebrate my one year blogging anniversary with a wee bit o green. The giveaway includes festive fairy dust, tea, chocolate, vintage green bits and bobs, Irish Creme cocoa, bath salts, earrings, and such.

    I, too, love all things Irish and Ireland is my dream destination, too. I’ve been to your blog before (last summer, I think) but came back again via Terri at Lakewood Manor. Have a great day!

  2. Terri and Bob says

    I am so in!I love Ireland, too. It is on my wish list as well. The only thing keeping me away is having the money it takes to travel, because the desire and the time are here!

    Top O The Mornin To Ya… I have been to Eire many a time. You MUST go. And Ill give you some places to Must see if you do. If you are getting in the irish mood you must watch The Quiet Man, with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara- it is filmed near one of the mist luxurious places to stay Ashford Castle., where they will play the Quiet man for you anytime and where you can go on the Jaunting Cart that the stars road on in the movie.For a newer Irish movie,Once is fantastic- as is the music.

    This is a lovely giveaway…but I am really commenting because I realized that I have neglected to thank you for the lovely prize you sent my way from the valentine’s giveaway. I’m very grateful! (and I apologize that I didn’t tell you sooner.) THANKS!

  18. Linda says

    I don’t know that I have the luck of the Irish, as I’m actually Polish and the Irish comes from my husband. 😉 But I love to decorate for St. Patrick’s Day and all the little minor holidays. My Easter decorations will be up promptly, the day after St. Patrick’s Day. I always enjoy your blog and the beautiful photos.

  21. Kathy's Red Door Welcome says

    Oooh, I’m a follower, I get to post two comments, yeh! I love everything in your giveaway. I just bought some little boxes that match your sweet little card that is leaning on the glass cloche. I love the picture you posted. Ireland looks so green and beautiful.

  22. Kathy's Red Door Welcome says

    Here I am again for the second time. My daughter spent her junior year of college in Ireland in the county of Cork. She absolutely loved it. I am mostly German on my mother’s side, but French and Irish on my father’s.
