I don't always mention Victoria magazine, but the Ireland-themed March/April issue arrived this week, and I think it is just yummy! I am so ready for spring, and those gorgeous Easter eggs reminded me that I need to get busy stitching my annual felted Easter egg. I also like those lily of the valley tea wares on the cover since that is the flower for my birth month, May.
And oh, those Belleek teacups! I would love to have some shamrock teacups like these. Maybe one day, I'll spot some at a good price.
These green wares caught my eye, too, because I've been pondering whether to decorate for St. Patrick's Day this year. I'd like to, but with Easter coming early, April 5, I'm not sure how to do both.
But if I do decide to give a nod to St. Paddy's Day, I have some new green pieces myself. Last weekend, a girlfriend and I went junkin' on Valentine's Day and had a great time in Monroe, Georgia. We shopped some of the most wonderful antique malls I've visited in years, and I was thrilled to find some $4 green trays for St. Patrick's Day decorating, whether I do it this year or next. I liked this one with the couple…
And this chippy one with tole-painted roses. Do you decorate for St. Patrick's Day?
I don’t really decorate my house for St. Patrick’s Day, but I often do set my table with green as the primary color. I have one Belleek cup, and saucer that is the focal point of that table setting for me. I hope you will find some of those, too.
