St Patrick's Day Refreshments

 St Patrick's Day Blog Crawl at Cuisine Kathleen
Tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll Through Life
ABC Wednesday - "I" is for Irish
Silver Sunday at Gypsy Fish Journal
Wow Us Wednesday at Savvy Southern Style
White Wednesday at Faded Charm

I know you must all be parched from travelling all over Blogland visiting everyone participating in Kathleen's Blog Crawl, so I thought I 'd offer up some liquid refreshments and a chance to take a bit of a break.  Please feel free to help yourself and stop back again later in the day for another recharge!


The table covering was crocheted by my maternal grandmother
and is actually a bedspread.


We have Champagne Punch served in a vintage Homer Laughlin punch bowl.


Coffee or tea ... if you have never tasted coffee with a shot of Crème de menthe .... do try it!


Vintage pewter tea service.


Vintage Haviland


From a set of vintage silver forks, this one has a gondola on it.




Cabbage plates, perfect for St Patrick's Day, from Home Goods


Vintage Home Laughlin covered muffin plate.



Cut glasses were my mother-in-law's


Punch Bowl back stamp
Reverse side of bowl



Vintage Homer Laughlin Ivory Fiesta Mugs for Irish Coffee



Perhaps a bit of Guiness would hit the spot for you?



Vintage Belleek creamer and sugar





I'm so pleased you could drop by during your travels around the St Patrick's Day celebrations!

    Gorgeous buffet, Candy! That punchbowl is just so special. The range of dish shapes and patterns on the tabletop are just super, and thet texture of the bed/table cover really makes them pop!

    Your bedspread is amazing. It must have taken your grandmother a very long time to crochet that--I think it was pieced. Please do not let any of us visitors spill on it! The punch bowl is also fabulous. And I did not know that the covered dish was a muffin dish. I always think of butter when I see the covers--don't know why. Beautiful table--I'll be back for refreshments later-irish coffee or a Guinness! Linda

    What a beautiful, lovely table you have set! So many details. One of my favorite things is the crochet bed covering used as a tablecloth.

    Thanks for sharing,

    A beautiful table and a lot of stunning things, but if I could not have anything, I only would love your vintage punch bowl! It's totally GORGEOUS!!! Your Belleck sugar and creamer would be nice too! OK, the whole thing like the plates, your grandmother's bed spread as tbcloth is perfect and a treasure, I loved the idea!
    You're welcome too, to visit me, I could offer you lunch for for St. Pat's.
    Happy St. Patty's Day.

    Candy, I'm feeling the luck o'the Irish with your wonderful table. That punch bowl is magnificent! I have never seen anything like it. And you just better be careful... if I could I would reach into the screen and "borrow" that covered muffin dish. I think that is the prettiest dish I have seen in a long time.
    I'll take the delicious Irish Coffee and a big dollop of that whipped cream!
    Thanks for the refreshments!

    I'm still partyin' so I'm a wee bit late to partake of your refreshments, Candy! What a beautiful scene you've set out for everyone...gorgeous use of that handmade bedspread. I hope no one spilled anything on it.

    I ♥♥♥ that little Belleek sugar & creamer set & the covered muffin dish is especially darling.
    The best piece HAS to be that punch bowl, though. What a treasure!!! You always have the nicest things to show & share. I learn so much from your blog.

    fondly,
    Rett
