A Golden St. Patrick's Day Tablescape

This St. Patrick’s Day tablescape is a substitute for one that I was planning to do but had to postpone because one of the key elements for it hasn’t arrived yet. I finally gave up and gathered a different theme. I really need to start planning earlier! I came up with the idea for this tablescape just a few days ago. I bought the Martha Stewart tablecloth at HomeGoods a few years ago and this is the first time that I have used it on a tablescape. I really like the gold band on the tablecloth, it is a good match for the gold elements on this tablescape. You can see my 10 other St. Patrick’s Day tablescapes that I have done together with 300+ other themed tablescapes of mine on my blog here: https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapes

I bought these Obrarte Shamrock ceramic salad plates on Ebay, a few at a time as I saw them over the years. I think that they are a good match for this tablecloth.

This is my favorite green dinner plate. It was made by Fiesta and the color was called Shamrock. That color has been discontinued now. I use this plate often during the year on tablescapes. I love the bright green color. I probably bought them at Macy’s online, I have had them for a long time.

I found these resin type bright green chargers at Michaels a few years ago I think.

The gold plated flatware on this tablescape was a gift from Hubby a few years ago. I had bought a cheap set of gold flatware several years ago. It was poor quality and the gold started flaking off. You get what you pay for! We found this set on major sale at Macys. It is made by Wallace and it is called Mikasa Duchess Gold. It is heavy and I love the elegant design on the handles. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying a flatware set here.

I think these green cotton napkins probably came from Pier 1 or HomeGoods several years ago. I found the plastic gold coins on Amazon a few days ago. I just attached them temporarily with masking tape to a white ceramic napkin ring that I have had for a long time. To read about the What, Where, and How of napkin rings please click here.

I bought these small plastic black kettles probably at Oriental Traders or Amazon online several years ago. I was going to use them on a Witch themed Halloween tablescape but I never did. I remembered that I had them and pulled them out. I found the tiny gold coins on Amazon a few days ago and Hubby packed the kettle for me with paper so that we could just spread them across the surface. I should have bought more!

The gold Poly/Carb goblet on the left was made by Le Cadeaux and the pattern is called Fleur. We found them at a gift shop on one of our trips up the California coast a couple years ago but they were really expensive so we only bought a few of them. I had been looking for that color for a long time and after we got home, I found them much cheaper online so I bought a few more. The green plastic goblet on the right came from Pier 1 several years ago. If you read my blog, you have seen this goblet before a few times. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

I bought this large ceramic black kettle at Crate and Barrel online several years ago to use at Halloween. I put a towel in it so that I wouldn’t need to fill it with as many gold coins. I found the gold coins on Amazon a few days ago.

I searched for leprechaun with kettle on Amazon a few days ago and these small figures popped out. They were just what I needed for this tablescape!
