Leprechaun Shenanigans on a St. Patrick's Day Tablescape

It’s time for a couple of St. Patrick’s Day tablescapes. I create at least one every year. I spent some time recently photographing and inventorying all my St. Patrick’s Day tablescaping items and putting them in folders on my computer and I feel really good about that! I finally have a record of everything that I have in one place. I bought this green tweed tablecloth on Amazon several years ago.

I found these polymer leprechaun dinner plates on Etsy a few weeks ago. I love cute leprechauns and these guys were exactly what I wanted for this tablescape. All the graphics on the plate are wonderful. I didn’t use a salad plate so the entire dinner plate could show.

These chargers were made by Mikasa and the pattern was called Color Spectrum, this one in Hunter Green. I have several different colors of this charger and I really love the size, design, and shape. They have all been discontinued but I bought them all on Ebay a few at a time over the years as I saw them.

Every time I use this flatware set I get questions about it. It is labeled Helmick/O.M.C. and the pattern is called Celtic Crusader. It is 18/10 stainless and it is really heavy and great quality. I have learned to buy 18/10 stainless because with cheaper quality flatware sometimes the fork tines have not been filed and they are really sharp. When I can, I always test flatware by touching the fork tines to see what they feel like before I buy the set. I love the way this flatware looks and it is perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day tablescape. I can’t remember where I bought it several years ago but you can find it online. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I found these lucky green napkins at HomeGoods last year. The label says cupcakes and cashmere. I found these metal enamel leprechaun napkin rings on Amazon last year. They have a cute design, I like happy faces. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.

A few years ago I wanted a leprechaun place card holder so I looked on Etsy for leprechauns to see if there was anything there that I could use. I found this wood leprechaun and I loved the design. I can’t remember where the place cards came from. To read about the What, Where and When of place card holders, please click here.

The goblet on the left was made by Cristal D’Arques-Durand between 2001 and 2008 and the color was called Antique Emerald. They have a pressed glass diamond and fan pattern. This goblet has been discontinued but you can find them online on the secondary market at various sites. I can’t remember where I bought mine. I have this goblet in red as well and I use it often. The green glass goblet on the right came from The Vermont Country Store online. These goblets are made in the United States by Mosser and the pattern is called Georgia. They are really heavy glass and they are very good quality. I have bought a few at a time over the years and I have them in green, red, and blue now. 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 was just about to leave HomeGoods a few weeks ago and I saw this cute leprechaun and I grabbed him. I set him on a small green cake stand that I found at HomeGoods a few years ago. The small metal green shamrocks on the stand are actually bells, I can’t remember where I found them a few years ago.

I like to add small items on each side of the centerpiece on my tablescapes to add a bit more interest to the table setting and fill the empty spaces. I bought the two taller resin leprechauns a few years ago somewhere but I don’t remember where. I like their cute faces and all the detail, gold buckles and all! The smaller one is actually part of a set of Santas that I have that I bought many years ago. He is called Four Leaf Crinkle Claus by Possible Dreams but I keep him with my St. Patrick’s Day decorations. On the other side of the table is Shamrock Crinkle Claus.

Four Leaf Crinkle Claus by Possible Dreams, he was probably made in 1999.

Shamrock Crinkle Claus by Possible Dreams, he was probably made in 1998.
