St Patrick's Day Honeypot

Spring is almost here and that means getting on the green and setting fresh new tables.  I've already been planning my Easter tablescapes but since we are still in March and Kathleen is having her 7th Annual Blog Crawl I thought I better get busy setting a table in green. 



It's always fun participating and Kathleen won't let us get by with re-reruns, so we should all see some
 great new tables.


I have been collecting pieces for several years and since I don't have a budget for Belleck china I try to add pieces that remind of the Belleck pieces I have admired.


This honeypot is my newest find, I actually passed it by when I first saw it but went back to the antique mall  since it matches the salt and pepper set I already have.  It is in perfect condition and is just so sweet. 



The teapot is a very special to me since one of my best friends surprised me with it several years ago. I just love the luster finish and the size is perfect.  


The shamrock pieces are all marked 'occupied Japan'
and are considerably more reasonably priced than Belleck.  


My dishes are a collection of Pier One, Bordalla pinheiro luncheon plates and bowls also collected over several years.
I layered them on top of twig chargers and added a little cabbage in each bowl.  
   

I enjoy decorating for the seasons and so glad that Kathleen inspires us to share our St. Patrick's Day 
tables and vignettes by hosting the Crawl each year. 


Hope everyone has fun tonight at the Crawl and I hope to visit all the blogs participating.  Can't wait to see what everyone shares!
