St Patrick's Day Refreshments

ABC Wednesday - "I" is for Irish

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!

Glam-It-Up Fiesta Party

A little red carpet glam for the Oscars.

Fiesta is pretty much always seen as a casual dinnerware line, but that doesn't mean it can't Go-Glam with the big girls!  Take the lead from a few vintage pieces like this Demitasse Cup and Saucer with matching B&B and Salad Plate.  Or the Ovenserve Cake Lifter or even the Fiesta Sweets Comport with the swirly gold decal.





Glam Gold Chargers, Black and Ivory Post 86 Fiesta, Fitz & Floyd "Coquilles Combinées" salad plates, a sparkly copper/gold contemporary tablecloth, Kenilworth Carafe, add accessories and Fiesta can surely Go-Glam. The oil lamp is from one of my favorite hotels of all time, The Hotel 1829 in St. Thomas.







Thanks for stopping by!
