For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and everyday!
I found this little guy at Goodwill about a month ago and fell
instantly in love. (Please don't tell my husband!) For $2.92, he
was just perfect for St. Patrick's Day.
He has red hair and I love that his mouth looks like a heart!
I've had this vintage postcard for years and thought that it
was a pretty addition to the vignette.
The coffee service is Napoleon Ivy by Wedgwood that was
seen in a previous post. I've had this since my first marriage and
never tire of the pattern!
The embroidered tablecloth that you can barely see was my mom's,
but she was English.
The silver teaspoon belonged to my grandmother who was Norwegian.
I love these spoons but I never use them so it was nice
to be able to add one to the mix.
So, this vignette features cherished pieces from three generations.
And not one of us is Irish!
On that note...

I have two demitasse cups in that same pattern -- and I love it and wish I had more!
Love the green ivy ... thanks for sharing.
Love your vignette. He's quite the charmer that you found. And the price was right to boot. Your tea set is quite lovely. Sláinte

How come I can never find a "man" at Goodwill....lol...I loved your vignette.
I'm still chuckling over Donnie's comment. He was quite a find. Love the whole table and all of the great accessories.
A wonderful continental collection of beautiful family treasures to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Your Irish laddie looks so proud to be in the midst of all your beautiful things. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
Love that Napoleon Ivy! I'm determined not to OD on the green stuff so you are the first St Paddy's I've visited so it's still cute! Ha! I read your wild craigslist adventure. Crazy, but THOSE DOORS!!!!! Thanks for visiting me twice today. You say such nice things.
Your wee Irish lad is a great addition to your tea table! What a beautiful tea set.
Happy SPD!
What a great find. I can't believe somebody got rid of that right before St. Patrick's day. Great vignette!
Your Goodwill find is a perfect little lad. Love your tea set! I'm not Irish either but I am loving all the green! Happy St. Patty's Day to you!
Blessings My Friend,
cute find!
Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog...I think my husband hired a painter because he knew his life would be miserable if I had to do it! Love this post...very beautiful. I'm following you now and will visit again soon. ~Ann
I would have fallen in love too..your secret is safe with me, I won't tell you hubby! :) lol

Looks great! Like how you used a painting in the back, it gives a very Irish feel to your setting. Looking forward to your next tablescape. Diane
What a wonderful and festive table! Great Goodwill find, too!
Such beautiful china and they mix so well together. I love it that your pieces are from your "non-Irish" family. That vintage postcard is charming and your Irishman is a handsome guy!
I really like your "new Irish love" with his fiery red hair ad porcelain (literally!) skin. He's quite a handsome young fellow! He looks right at home in your pretty setting! I hope you and Mr. Magpie are having a great St. Patrick's Day. Don't party too hard! :-)
Love your statue! Great find..and what a bargain! How nice that you've tied three generations together! Lovely vignette!
beautiful pics~
Your new Irish lad looks wonderful on this table! I love all your treasures. Those ivy covered dishes are so pretty. Love all of this!!!!
I love everything Irish...AND green! This was such a wonderful treat for me stopping by here to say hi and see your display. Loved it all. I had all my Irish stuff up yesterday [well, since March 1st, but I'm taking it down this morning. If you'd like to see what I have it's the post below the link I'm leaving for you]

Your Napoleon Ivy china is so perfect with a timeless look and I love the little peeks at your mother's tablecloth. What a treasure!
Beautiful vignette and that little green man from GW is definitely a find. Beautiful post. Have a great weekend.
This is absolutely the cutest post! Love the little guy and the picture behind. I simply adore cottages. Have a great week and blessings to you, Lynn
What a beautiful tablescape, the ivy china is so similar to a set my mom had, and your little Irish gentleman is really a sweet find! So glad you linked up for VIF!
hugs,

This is beautiful! I love, love your little Irish man. He is adorable! If I saw him at the thrift store I would have snagged him too! Thanks for linking up!
