Formal St. Patrick's Day Table

Congratulations and a hardy "thank you" to Cuisine Kathleen (Here) for hosting her 8th Annual St. Patrick's Day Blog Crawl/Party. Pat wanted to set an extra formal table to celebrate. (As most people know, Kathleen and Alma at "The Tablescaper" were our inspirations for starting this blog. I was looking for ways to store all the dishware "junk" that we own and I came across Alma's blog - my world opened up, you might say....that brought us to Kathleen's weekly blog party. What a great adventure it has been!)


Anyway, here's the table that Pat came up with for this week:

Formal (and yes, slightly glitzy) is the theme for this week

Flatware is one of our favorites (and one that we have had for a very long time) - "Gold Iconic" by Wallace

The cut-crystal biscuit jar is a close match to the glassware
