A Shamrock Afternoon Tea Luncheon

Here is a pretty tablescape all set up

 for a lovely

afternoon shamrock tea party.

I really do have a lot of shamrock china -

 have been collecting it for years.

The above pic was from my last year's shamrock tea. 

I love those shamrock sugar cubes and just HAD to share again

because they're all gone now. They're a deeper green than it

shows in the pic - it's pretty washed out. Sorry.

A colorful shamrock runner and scatters

 of green shamrocks complete this table top

in a festive and fun way.

A green Shamrock Beanie made it front and center

as a whimsical centerpiece.

He's sitting on a small shamrock teapot.

These cute shamrock cordial glasses

 are perfect to fill with green pistachio mousse

 with shaved dark chocolate on top!

How perfect to eat the mousse with a little china shamrock spoon.

The hand painted china shamrock ornament

 is the favor my guests get to take home.

Today the sugar bowl is just simply holding shamrock scatters.

All the green on my table doesn't match exactly -

 some is lighter, some is a more yellowy green,

 some is darker........

much like Eire itself -

 the land of ten thousand shades of green!

This Lefton bell matches the teapot in the background.

How nice it would be to just ring the bell for more tea, 

as if I were a Crawley.  Heh heh.

These sweet linen napkins have a clover pattern on th em

but unfortunately my photog skills didn't work and one

cannot see the pattern. Oops.

Lemon cream cake with buttercream frosting

 reminds me of the gold found in a pot of gold

 at the end of a leprechaun's rainbow

As always, thank you for your visit!
