If you need a quick St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape this post is for you! Two weeks ago I got lucky and discovered chocolate leprechauns at See’s Candy. I quickly decided to create an entire tablescape around them.
St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape
I had gone into the store with the single mission of purchasing three large candy eggs to nest in some Easter baskets. Then I spied Saint Patrick and it was all over. So I had to create a tablescape.
I had posted a few St. Patrick’s Day ideas last week and really loved this candle.
I put my own spin on the idea by taking a glass votive holder and wrapping white Irish linen around it. Kelly green velvet ribbon was wrapped around the middle and secured with a pearl pin. Oh does it look pretty at night!
I also loved the white flowers in glass containers.
I was able to find green alstroemeria, white freesias, and roses.
The glass vase was wrapped in linen too.
More green velvet was secured with my mom’s lovely vintage broach.
Our everyday white Villeroy and Boch china and vintage silver-plate make for a simple setting.
Corned beef is on the menu. Pardon me, would you happen to mind if I eat it with a bit of spicy mustard? This wee tureen will hold it beautifully.
May you have the luck of the Irish!
Laura
Your St. Patrick's day table is just perfect! I love the broaches you have attached to the ribbon and linen, and the simple white china just really brings is all together! I truly love corned beef all year long, not just at St. Paddy's day. We have such a full weekend that I am still hoping to squeeze in just a wee bit of Irish festivities for the family. It just wouldn't be the same without it.
Have a lovely weekend!
PS. I do follow you on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter, but in the interest of time, I'm just leaving one extra comment. =)

That tablescape is beautiful! How fun. I have been trying to think of something to do for St Patty's and this may be just the right idea!

Oh Laura,
Everything you create is so very lovely. Puts me to shame, but I love LOVE these adorable little holidays and my house has been festively decorated for a month now for St. Patrick's Day and I too will be creating a special dinner, but I don't have any fun chocolate like that. This small rural area, isn't really filled with lots of specialty items – boo 🙁
Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend,
Linda
… and I also of course follow you on Facebook. I don't do the other things.
The luck of the Irish always be yours,
Linda
I am always inspired by your lovely ideas, love following your blog!
Your tablescape is so pretty. I love it and I love your mom's brooch on the ribbon, how special. Hugs, Marty
The table looks really pretty! Especially love the linen-wrapped candle…
Oh, I'd love to win the stuff!!!!! And you won't even have to pay for shipping……..LOL Just kidding, you don't need to enter me, I've gotten enough wonderful creations and gifties from you pretty lady.
May you have a blessed weekend and Happy St. Patrick Day.
Love ya'

Laura, the soft greens inspire me. It sets the tone for St. Patrick's Day, a day that traditionally brightens us up as we ready for spring.
I have never seen St. Patrick's Chocolate and would like to know where you found it.
Do you grow Lily of the Valley? I had forgotten how much I miss having those little treasures in my garden.
Thanks for a treat on this Friday in March…I would love to win this wonderful package.

Your daughter's bathroom will be very pretty. Love the color combination.
Love the sea horses! How nice to get away with your hubby! Catching up on your posts!
Warmly,

Oh, your tablescape is lovely! I am partial to the white flowers too. The other day, I somehow came home from the grocery store with white hyacinths, and shamrocks with white flowers. They know what they are doing when they put the flowers by the entrance. It's the first thing you see, you have to walk by (and smell) them, and you haven't filled up your cart yet and begun to feel anxious about your checkout total.
Love your candle ideas, and your Mum's brooch is really special.
I wanna win. Hope the luck o the Irish is with me.
Love your blog.
Laura, what a lovely tablescape! You really have some great ideas!
Loving your Paddy's day tablescape Laura! It's so lovely seeing so many bloggers around the world celebrating and decorating for St. Patrick's Day. Am going to post some traditional Irish recipes over the weekend, you might be interested. La Fheile Padraig Sona Duit!!
I love decorating for every holiday including St Patrick's Day! Love all of these ideas 🙂
Great inspiration for a day with special significance in our household – it's the day on which my parents met! Thinking of you. xxx
Thanks for the fun Irish giveaway.

I have never seen StPatty's chocolates. What a treat! Not usually what one associates with the day but who needs an excuse for chocolate? lol
Love your beautiful tablescape and the pretty suggestions. I will have to get something pretty set up for Sunday dinner.
Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
Laura, having enjoyed your informative post about the Book of Kells (which I got to see during my visit to Ireland about 9 years ago), it would be pure joy to win your excellent giveaway choices! Thank you for including me in your drawing.

This is an absolutely delightful tablescape. I like the simple elegant look of the soft greens and the white freesias. I can smell their sweet fragrance just looking at this post. Those little St. Patrick chocolates are darling and the tea towels are gorgeous. What a thoughtful gift. Thanks for including me. ~ Sarah
Great table. Love the St. Patty's day touches.

Everything looks lovely but especially your mum's brooch.

Would love to win your prize. So pretty! ecarian at yahoo dot com
I have set my table striving to get what. It is hard to put all things together when I don't have things in place.
However, I put together my composition, my style on St. Paddy's Day.
Come and visit me and tell me if my creation pass for the theme §:-)
Happy Sunday.

What a great St. Patrick's Day table setting!!
Hugs,

Happy St Patty's Day Laura!
May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
Please enter me into this wonderful give away,

Sweet giveaway…thanks for the chance to win!

Following on FB too! 🙂
Oh my what a beautiful broach! And it even looks amazing on a vase 🙂
Kelly
This is such a beautiful tablescape, Laura! I would never venture into a See's Candy store, even for a cute St Patrick or an Easter Bunny — it would be my downfall! The white flowers are so pretty, and the gorgeous broach is such a treasure. I do nothing special for St. Patrick's Day. My only “nod” to this day is that I have lots of green in my Spring and Easter decor; oh, I also have green eyes — does that count?

Oh you are such a lovely person! What a great giveaway and mostly what a beautiful tablescape. I have never seen St. Patty's candy like that! Happy St. Pats to you! Kit
That's a gorgeous table-scape!
I had no idea See's had St. Patrick's Day Candy!
We just went to visit old friends in La Jolla. Have fun!
Laura, your tablescape for St. Patrick's Day is just lovely! All the things you mentioned go together so perfectly, but the one thing you did not actually mention is the gorgeous white crocheted pineapple tablecloth! That is the first thing that caught my eye and it is just fabulous!
See's Candies is a very dangerous discovery, whether around the corner or online! Total yumminess!
Thanks for a chance at your very generous and Irish giveaway!

and I follow you on facebook…which I have figured out 😉

Well, Laura, you had me at See's Candies- my favorite! We don't have one locally, but mail order works well too, maybe too well. 😉
I really like the hand towels and the key necklace
The lace tablecloth you have on your table looks similar to one I have of my grandmothers
Thanks for a chance to win this lovely St Patrick's Day give a way
Janice
Your posts (and your comments on my blog) always leave a smile on my face. Isn't See's decadent? We send many boxes all year long to my in-laws in Florida. Your table scape is so lively and refreshing–love the broach and the other rhinestone jewelry on the table–nice touch!
God bless!

Thank you Laura for your sweet visit.
Your table is beautiful.
I am not Irish but have kissed the Blarney Stone and one day will return there,as it is one of my most favourite places. With a hubby that is Scottish with Irish ancestors (O'Donnell is our name), we are sure to go back one day. To be sure,To be sure. 🙂
Oh I wish I had time to Irish up my house! I am married to a man of Irish descent but my grandmother was a McCubbin!
