One of my faithful blog followers going back to 2012 when I first started blogging is Joy, a resident of Georgia. I had the privilege of meeting her in person in 2018 when I coordinated the Southern Tea Time Getaway tour. She, along with blogging friend, Angela McRae, and Angela Renals, owner of Destination Tea [a comprehensive online tearoom directory] met us at Tea Leaves and Thyme tearoom in Woodstock, Georgia. We shared a wonderful Afternoon Tea together.

Joy e-mailed me photos of her St. Patrick's Day tablescape, which I'm sharing with you today. I love her idea of placing tree twigs in a bud vase and hanging shamrocks from them. I think I may have to borrow that idea, Joy. So cute!
Joy said her Belleek teacup and saucer were a Marketplace find, the Shelley mug was a gift, the ruffled bowl belonged to her grandmother, one of the Cottage Teapots belonged to her mother, and the Green Depression Glass pieces were thrift store finds.
Thank you for sharing your St. Patrick's Day tablescape with us, Joy! Isn't it fun setting a holiday themed table?
I have pink, light blue and cobalt blue Depression Glass collections, but I've never collected yellow or light green, with the exception of a sugar and creamer in the Tea Room pattern. I also have some vintage dark emerald green dishes and glasses that were recently shared on my blog.
Do you have a green Depression Glass collection?
My most recent St. Patrick's Day purchase [besides the nutcrackers] is a set of Christopher Radko spreaders. Have you ever shopped at Poshmark Marketplace? Last Sunday was the first time I've spent any time at their site. The spreaders below are new and in their original box, and I think they will make a cute addition to an Irish tablescape for spreading shamrock shaped Irish butter on scones. E-bay had a set of used ones which would have given me 8, but I didn't purchase them on Sunday, and today they're sold. You snooze, you lose! ;-)
