A Shamrock Tea Table




Hello to you all and greetings to March!

Not sure where all my time went,
 but it is time to share my shamrock tea china!









Shamrocks, shamrocks, everywhere!



















Please grab yourself a tea cup and join me!











If you enjoy a sweeter taste, be sure to grab a
lump or two of shamrock sugar cubes!



















I have been collecting shamrock things for years.











I even have china shamrock spoons. : - )










They're perfect to use with these little cordials;
the just-right-size for pistachio moussse!










Here is my very first shamrock china ever;
 a wonderfully sweet gift from my eldest daughter.

She knew how I'd love a shamrock teacup!










I have found quite a few different ones over the years!


















Here's a few things put together that make a happy little 
St. Patrick's Day Irish vignette!











Wishing you all the luck of the Irish!

(And of course, if you are Irish, you are lucky enough!)









I am having my REAL tea on Sunday but didn't want to miss the
St. Patrick's Day crawl with all this shamrock china to share.

I have shamrock stuff all over the house and even outside.





As always, thank you for your visit!




~Michele

  5. Glad to see you back and glad to see your beautiful shamrock china! Last year, I found the most wonderful shamrock teapot from a terrific eBay seller (you may have heard of her?), and to my amazement, she included in my package a gorgeous shamrock teacup! I'll be creating a vignette with it all in the next few days -- can't wait!

  7. A wee bit of Irish in you Michele? :-) What a fabulous collection, did you make the sugar cubes? I haven't decorated them since my baking classes but they're impressive on a tea table.
    I hope I find a pretty shamrock or two when I go to Ireland in June.
    Hugs,

  18. Michelle, this is just the cutest, freshest table! I love your collection.

    I read the other day that St Patrick was having a difficult time explaining the Trinity to one group in Ireland when The Lord prompted him to pick up a shamrock and explain it that way. I loved reading that just as I love your shamrocks... And those spoons are too, too cute!

  24. You have such beautiful shamrock accessories, Michele. I love all your tea service. I have that same beanie bear. Isn't he sweet? Although I have several mugs, I don't have any teacups with shamrocks. I'll have to look for one. xo

  25. Wow Michele, you have a very impressive collection of shamrock items. The teapot is my favorite. I don't have any shamrock china but you have inspired me to begin my own little collection.
