St. Patrick's Day Tea

A St. Patrick's Tea turned out to be a welcome treat in the long, cold month of March.   I think of St. Patrick's Day celebrations as being held in a bar with boiled dinners and green beer.  My challenge was to turn the celebration into a Victorian Tea.

Food and Dishes are my Centerpiece

The tablecloth was a piece of green fabric.  The table runner was borrowed from a living room stand and turned out to be the perfect accent for an otherwise bland table.  The napkins were folded in the shape of shamrocks held by white napkin rings.  Cups were from my collections of Lily of the Valley Tea cups.
