The corned beef and cabbage is ready to go in the slow cooker, and with a little encouragement from tea friend Margie, I managed to pull together a few appropriate tea wares to celebrate St. Patrick's Day tomorrow!
This old thrifted plate struck me as "too green" when I bought it for $3 a while back, but it had roses on it, and the price was right. Now, I'm glad I got it!
And what says "cottage style" more than a cottage teapot?
My St. Patrick's Day teacup is this Lefton teacup, a gift from a fellow tea blogger many years ago.
Will you be celebrating St. Patrick's Day in your food or decor tomorrow?
Your shelves look darling. I’ll wear green tomorrow and use my cottage teapot, as well as my lovely pale green teacup with roses that I won from your blog contest!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely will celebrate in my own way, with the wearing of my green and some Irish food fare 🇮🇪 ☘ Judy in Australia 🇦🇺
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cottage style teapot with tea cups and plates. I like the St Patrick’s day “green”
ReplyDeleteI’ll be celebrating with corned beef and cabbage and some Twinings Irish Breakfast tea!
ReplyDeleteThat was me!
DeleteYour display is lovely. I'll celebrate by drinking lucky Irish tea (tastes a little like Baileys) out of my husband's great-grandmother's green teacup (the saucer is long gone). We'll have shepherds pie for dinner
ReplyDeleteCorned beef, potatoes, carrots, coleslaw, green Blarney Stone jello, and a piece of grasshopper pie was eaten by my family tonight. Tomorrow morning we’ll have Irish soda bread and tea for breakfast (a friend made it for us) and for dinner Reuben sandwiches. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!
ReplyDeleteYou've put together a very nice display for St. Patrick's Day! On the second shelf I recognize the sugar bowl and creamer in the Royal Tara Shamrock Trellis pattern, a favorite of mine. Tomorrow I'll definitely wear green and use some of my Irish china, drink some Barry's tea from Ireland, and make some colcannon (with cabbage and potatoes and onions). I'll also listen to Irish music (the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem) and work on my Irish language homework (for my Irish class on Wednesday night).
ReplyDeleteLove your St. Patrick’s Day tribute. It’s our birthday (my twin brother and mines) so it has always been a double celebration. Hugs, Elaine
ReplyDeleteI too will be cooking corned beef in the slow cooker tomorrow. Your decorations look lovely.
