Decorating for St Patrick's Day

All of the Valentine decor has been packed away and I brought out a few St Pat's decorations!

One of my favorite things to decorate each holiday and/or season is my bar cart:

It's always ready for a spontaneous happy hour or dessert!  These beautiful yellow, handblown glasses are from Anthropologie and the 2 sets of melamine dishes are from the Christmas Tree Shop.  The faux cupcake is from @Suzzieqsfauxtreats on Instagram.  

St Patrick's Day is the feast day of St. Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland, celebrated on the anniversary of his death date.   Originally celebrated with religious feasts and services, St. Patrick's Day became a secular celebration of Irish culture when it reached the United States alongside Irish immigrants.

This blessing was a gift from my niece and the Beleek dish was a gift my SIL brought back from her trip to Ireland:

St. Patrick's revelers thought wearing green made one invisible to leprechauns, fairy creatures who would pinch anyone they could see (anyone not wearing green). People began pinching those who didn't wear green as a reminder that leprechauns would sneak up and pinch green-abstainers.

This tray is on my sofa table and is another area I love to add seasonal decor.

This little green vase, a gift from MacKenzie-Childs, holds a vintage M-C floral and bead curtain tieback from many years ago!  Green shamrock fairy lights are tucked in and around the vignette:
