King O'Dell Saint Patrick's Day Tablescape


A happy Saint Patrick's Day to All!   And a great big thank you to Kathleen at Cuisine Kathleen's for hosting her 7th annual Saint Patrick's Day Blog Crawl.  All year I have collected little things here and there to put together a post for this occasion and today I get to see how my thrifty finds all come together.  The centerpiece is made from a basket I found this morning at the Volunteers of America Thrift store,  a wee Irish lass and her lovely harp also from the VOA, shamrock plants from Marc's (my favorite closeout store, and yellow   primrose from The Home Depot (4 plants for $3.00) plus a few odds and ends from the stash.

The tablecloth is actually a four yard piece of material from Goodwill in a lovely hunter green plaid pattern.  The dinnerware is the King O'Dell pattern made by Taylor Smith Taylor (a fine American made product), the flatware is Daffodil made by Rogers bought at auction from Goodwill, the Lillian Vernon shamrock placemats in the center of the table being used as a runner came from the Salvation Army Thrift Store,  the Lenox candle holders came from Goodwill, Candles from Marc's,  green stemware was thrifted but I don't remember where from,  the Lenox chargers were bought on Ebay (cheap) last year.  The green trimmed burlap napkins were bought last year when Pier One closed them out.  And my favorite - the cute little Jadiete bunny rabbit salt cellars were bought at the VOA this morning when I bought the baskets.

I couldn't resist adding the little sheep to the table.
 I fell in love with this lovely lady the first time I laid eyes on her.
 What's not to love about this St. Patrick O'Santa figure.

The shelves have been decked out with thrifty finds too.  Some are new (new to me that is) this year, some are from years gone by.





Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

    Candy, you always put something darling together. Love the plaid fabric, those darling jadeite bunnies frolicking about with the sheep, so fun! That's also a really pretty and festive vignette on your shelf! Super cute. Love the big leprechaun boot!

    Ohhhhhhhhhhh my - what happiness. I just love your choices - those jadeite bunnies are too too cute - what great places you have to shop. I like how you do up the shelves with decorations too - and the dinnerware is gorgeous - I'd never seen any like that before. And the silverware - what could be more perfect for this time of the year. Everything blends together so well and makes a delightful St. Patrick's Day table.

    Candy, You must have so much fun shopping and finding these little treasures, then pulling them all together for a special occasion! But do all those little mischief making leprechauns get into trouble at night? They are cute! Linda

Your plaid tablecloth, your extraordinary plates, your accent pieces (love the bunny s + p shaker and sheep!)It's all so very pretty. Bravo!!

    You are an amazing "thrift find" gatherer! And not only do you get some great deals, you know how to put them altogether! I really like all the items in the basket for your centerpiece - love the lass playing the harp! The dishes are perfect for the theme as are the tablecloth and napkins. So much to take in on your shelves as well! Terrific job! Visiting from Kathleen's of course.

    Wow you are so good at thrifting! I really like the dishes you found and the silverware is beautiful. The centerpiece is great- love the Shamrock plants and the lass with the harp. I've never seen shamrock placemats- they're cute. Your collection of figurines are great! Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

    Candy, you have so many wonderful treasures for celebrating St. Patrick's Day. When I saw the first photo, I fell in love with that red-headed Irish angel, but as I scrolled down, I found so many other things to love. Your bunny salts are so cute, and how great they'll be for Easter too. The china pattern is beautiful, and all of your little Irish figures make the table look like an Irish fairyland. Then - your shelves. What fun Irish décor. That boot, with the leprechauns crawling out and the little Irish cottage. I love the way you have them displayed with the boxes and the fence.

My very favorite thing is the Irish angel -- she's just beautiful! :) I also love the dinnerware, the pretty flatware, and those darling bunny salt and peppers. You have lots of lovely Irish treasures to use every March; it's fun to celebrate St. Pat's day, huh?

    As always, you've done a great job with your table Candy. Thanks for your visit to my pub table, and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!

    What a beautiful post! So many interesting things to look at! I will zoom in on the runner, it is so pretty, where did you find it. I just went back to look again. What does the little Irish gal music box play? Maybe I'll take you home again, Kathleen? My dad always sang that to me. :) Thanks so much for taking part in this special to me party, I truly appreciate everyone who celebrates with me!

    Candy, your tables are always so well thought out to the tiniest of detail. What a nice collection of leprechauns...they are adorable. I have never seen plates with jack-in-the-pulpits...so unique. You really do have great thrift stores in your area...you find some of the most amazing things. I always look forward to your beautiful tables.
    Have a great upcoming week...spring is here!

    What a stunning table! I've never seen that pattern of china before. I just love it!. Your centerpiece is really a showstopper. What a pretty lass with the harp surrounded by shamrocks and primroses! Great finds and such a perfect tablescape! I'm your newest follower.

    Hi Candy,

    Hope you had a lovely St. Patrick's Day! Your table, adorned with Irish motifs and mementos, where glorious green is the star of the show, is very pretty! My favourite thing is the centerpiece, with that beautiful lass and her harp. Is she an angel? All the little characters seem animated, and I can almost see the elves hopping about the entire table, up to magical mischief! Thanks for sharing this charming tablescape!

    Happy first day of Spring, my friend!

    I love the way you arranged your shamrock place mats. They show up so much better than hiding them under the plates. Great idea! Congrats on your table cloth fabric piece you found. You've collected many great deals to create a beautiful table. I'm super jealous of your Ebay chargers. You did so good! I could go on and on about all the great details of your table. I so enjoyed everything!

      Thank you for stopping by to visit and for leaving a comment. I don't think there was a makers mark on this sweet Irish lass. She is one of my favorite St Pats items.
