St. Patrick's Day Wreath

It only took 5 minutes to add a little
L-U-C-K-Y banner 

to the wreath on my front door. I'm using
this basic wreath for March. It's an old
 grapevine wreath with a garland of white silk
 roses attached. Now it has a new look for
St. Patrick's Day.

I wanted small letters so I just copied the

 page and printed out all the letters. 

I tied on a string and hung the letters using 

clothespins. I can use this bunting idea for 

a few more wreath changes for Spring.

 Just copy the image to a blank email

 (or Word document) and print out

 all the letters on one page.

I found this easy St. Patrick's printable

 at Sugar Tot Designs.

You can download her's or do what I did. 

Cheers!

O'May Days Sandwich

Here's a St. Patricks's Day sandwich

we are having for lunch at the O'May's

A grilled cheese sandwich made with
homemade Irish soda bread,

(click HERE for the recipe)

white cheddar cheese and freshly
made pesto...for that little touch of green!

 Here's Lucy O'May ready for her lunch.

I found these two green bowls on my last
thrift store visit and thought the'd be
perfect little food and water bowls
for Lucy's March doggie-tablescape. 

Cheers! and
Happy St.Patrick's Day!

(O'May)

A Little LUCK

Another horseshoe project!

A little LUCK sign.

 I used two horseshoes about the same size.

Before and after cleaning.

 The left one has been cleaned and

 rubbed with mineral oil.

 I get 2 letters with these: a U and a C.

 Found this piece of wood in the garage and

 rubbed it down with mineral oil.

 It gives it just enough of a finish and

 conditions the wood.

 I chose a font to go with the horseshoes.

 Lucida Handwriting in size 375.

 I printed the letters using the outline setting.

I used carbon paper to traced the outline. 

 I filled it in with a black Sharpie.

We attached another horseshoe to 

the back for hanging. Not a lot of work or

skill required and no cost...lucky me!

Cheers!

March Review

Last month I went green.....
decoratively speaking.

Starting with March mug shots at the 

coffee station 

and an Irish blessing printable.  

 A change of dishes and paper in the
March kitchen cabinet.

More green on the sofa table vignette.

 Kitchen counter and a
Happy St. Patrick's Day sign.

I shared a few of my Rules For Life.

I shared my idea of a perfect dinner.

 The cornice shelf in the breakfast area.

 Spring blue and yellow in the dining room.

 I put oyster shells in the apothecary jar

 on the ever-changing counter tray.

Easter arrived early this year so I did an

 end of the month dish change in the cabinet.

Lastly the sofa table was given it's

Spring look with lots of tea pots.

Tray Vignette for March

I always make a few holiday changes to the
tray on the corner of my breakfast counter.

 I filled the apothecary with oyster shells. 

First we ate the oysters, then we brought
them home and scrubbed them clean. 

My kind of recycling!

 I added a Longaberger St. Patrick's Day

 garter around the neck of the jar.

A Lucky Lottery Bear, green candles and 

green candy dish filled with chocolate 

covered mint kisses are added.

A Longaberger Lucky Charm Basket

A green M monogrammed hankie.

All ready to cook the corned beef and 

cabbage dinner this Saturday 

for my family. We'll have 13.....

(click HERE for my mustard-parsley sauce)

Lucky 13!

March Green Kitchen

The counter under the dish cabinet 

gets it's sign for the month of March.

The small canister is filled with dog cookies.

A large green wine bottle is filled with 

a small string of little white lights. 

Larry drilled a hole near the bottom 

and I threaded the lights inside. 

It makes a nice night light.

I've filled two green wine bottles with vinegar

and oil then added pour spouts. 

They are gathered in the white wood caddy. 

Extra olive oils are in the light

 green jug and the white bottle. 

Green peas, green tea and garlic in Ball jars.

 Green bunny tea pot and tea cup on matching platter.

 I used two Portmeirion plates on the 

Longaberger wrought iron pie holder.

I filled a Portmeirion soap dispenser with

green dish soap and filled an old blue Ball jar 

with dishwasher packets. A sprig of 

rosemary is in a small jelly jar. All sit

on a small oval platter next to the sink.

Green and white kitchen towels and

thrifted crocheted pot holders hang

on towel bar at the end of the island.

 A green and tan plaid rag rug

 was only $3 at BBB.

Dog model: Lucky...

how appropriate!  

Cheers!
