A pot of gold overflows with ivy on a table with your choice of a brisk cup of Irish Breakfast tea or a pot of Irish coffee

And served with a frosty pie filled with minty chocolate mousse and ice cream.
 
 
Hidden among the shamrocks, a whimsical, little Leprechaun has been up to some mischief.
 
 
This wee hooligan is caught poking his finger into his favorite pie.
 
 
 Glittering babbles are a sure sign you have one of these fairy creatures in your midst.
 
 
So, for this one day in March, don your green fedora and join in his shenanigans.
 
 
Grab your shillelagh as you partake of his company.
 
 
and look closely…
 
 
 did you see it?
 
 
 
somewhere in these tablescape photos is a four-leaf clover (given to us for our 10th wedding anniversary by neighbors Peggy & John in 1985)

Search really, really carefully and, when you find it leave a comment telling me where it is hiding.
(an impish fellow enabled comment moderation until March 18th)

    This was so much fun especially since I am Irish and proud of it. I found the clover in the eighth picture from the top sitting on the beautiful Irish hankie that has the beautiful crochet edging in green and white. The hankie (or is it a napkin) is sitting next to the white tea server. Happy St. Pats day to you.

    This may be the cutest table I have ever seen. Sew cute and very Irish.
    The four leaf clover is in the 8th picture on the table scarf by the ivy. I have to admit – I was a little excited to find it! I have never found a four leaf clover in my life.

    Such a cute idea – and a wonderful tribute to your Mother.

    Thanks for sharing a little of your Irish charm.
