Leprechaun trap

Finally trapped one of those tricky little Leprechauns. Make your own St Patrick's day trapped Leprechaun vignette. This was so quick and easy. I used a large pickle jar, a Lefton Leprechaun, some dollar store moss rocks, floral grass, a few gold coins and a shiny gold ribbon.

                                              Most of the items used I found at Dollar tree.

I just love vintage Lefton figurines. This is one of a set of three leprechauns. He looks like he is waving his hands as to be saying, help I am trapped. I hope you got a little inspiration to make your own trapped leprechaun. While you are here click on the giveaway and enter to win 4 Fiestaware shamrock dinner plates.

Welcome back for another day of St Patricks Day decorating. Today I decorated the coffee table, tiny powder room and the coffee bar.

I wanted to keep the coffee table simple. I found the book at GW for $1.00 last week.

The basket is Longaberger and filled with chocolate gold coins.

I found this planter at a local shop last year, I thought it looked like a Leprechaun boot. I added some Dollar Store silk flowers.

This is my coffee bar, it is inside the butlers pantry. I found the mugs at Hobby Lobby on sale. I added a shamrock towel and Longaberger basket. Can you tell I love my K cup coffee?

This is my tiny powder room all decked out for St Patty's Day.

I found the two wooden shamrocks at Gordmans and could not pass them up. Another Lefton Leprechaun and pot of gold on the shelf.

I love the little sign, sounds like something my ten year old would say. Thats all I have for today. Pop in tomorrow to see the last of the St Patty's decorations, my tablescapes. The dining room table will be set and the breakfast table as well. I will also have an extra special little table all set for my grand daughter Kali.

                                                  Blessings,

I am so happy you stopped by today to see more St Patrick's Day decorations. I love to use thrifted and crafted items in my decor don't you? Did you notice the gold bricks on the mantel in yesterdays Mantel Monday? All you need is a solid brick and a can of shiny gold paint. The horseshoes I found at a Flea Market a while back. I had know idea what I would do with them at the time. While painting the bricks it hit me, I can spray those old rusty horseshoes and use them in my St Patrick's decorating. I also spray painted a bunch of small pebbles to look like gold nuggets and put them in little cast iron cauldrons that I used in my Halloween decorating. Instant pot of gold.  Here is my entry table with one of the gold horseshoes.

The planter is Lefton, I found it at a thrift store quite some time ago. The basket is Longaberger scored on ebay for $15.00 I also pull out the moon and stars green glass that I have collected over the years. I filled it with chocolate coins and left over chocolate lips from Valentines day (kiss me i'm Irish) The scarf is actually a Longaberger napkin in the classic green pattern. The horseshoes I paid $1.00 each.

I found this vintage Irish blessing on ebay last year and I just love it. The pipe is another ebay find and it is hand carved in Ireland, it has shamrocks on each side and a harp on the end.

Thank you for stopping by and come back tomorrow for more St Patrick decorations.

Mantel Monday

I just love St Patricks Day. My grandfather was Irish, he passed away when I was 8 but his memory is very clear. He was a short fellow and the little bit of hair he had shined in the sun like a copper penny. My grandmother had said the same thing about my hair when I was a little girl playing in the sunshine. So today I started decorating for St Patricks Day. I hope to finish tomorrow, I can't wait to share my beloved St Patricks Day with you. For now I want to introduce you to my tricky little leprechaun, he reminds me of my Popal with his crooked little smile and his sleepy eye.

                 

Please stop back tomorrow for the first Mantel Monday.
