Darby O'Gill and Hunting Leprechauns

Today I'm joining Kathleen at Cuisine Kathleen for the St. Patrick's Day Crawl. Join her over there for all the fun!

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I try to watch it at least once a year around St. Paddy's Day. I don't know how many times I've seen it. This movie has romance. One of Sean Connery's first movies (He's looking good. :)

I have always loved this song from the movie. It's such a happy song. (Who knew Sean could sing) Listening to this song will really put you in the "Irish" mood.

The movie has ghosts....................


But mostly, it's about Darby, whose goal in life is to catch a leprechaun....... After watching the movie so many times, I think I've become an expert on the wee people.

They are very musical...........

They like to drink....................

They can change shapes..............

And, most important, if you catch one, you get three wishes. (There was something else I'm supposed to remember, but I can't seem to think what it is right now.......hmmmm! )

So, be vewy, vewy quiet, cause I'm hunting me a leprechaun. hehehehe

I'll just follow this trail of shamrocks.

Aha! A leprechaun hat. There must be one close by.....

Here's his house. Hope he's home.

I caught you, old boy!! Now

I want my three wishes. #1 I want your pot of gold.

"Granted! It's yours ," he says. "But I won't tell you where it is" Then my #2 wish is for you to tell me where it is!. "It's at the end of the rainbow, of course", he says. Then my #3 wish is for you to take me there."

"Granted" he says.

And look! Here it is!!!!! "Oh I wish I could share this with all my bloggy friends."

POOF! What happened? The gold disappeared! Now I remember what the movie says about the wishes....."Three wishes I'll grant you, big or small, but if you wish the fourth wish, you lose them all."

Yes, those leprechauns are pretty sneaky fellows. hehehehe

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Thanks for stopping by.

Barbie Tablescape

I have a special guest who wanted to join the party over at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch. Over there, you will see lots of cute tablescapes to enjoy.
It's Barbie! Oh, she's such a fashionista! Look how color coordinated she is. And what's in that adorable bag I wonder.

Oh, look! She sees us. Everybody wave. :)


Looks like she's setting up a table for a picnic. What fun!

Love the red tablecloth, and what cute napkins!

She certainly does know how to set a table.

She even picked some fresh flowers for the centerpiece. She must be expecting Ken.

Is that her adorable camper over there?

While she is waiting, Barbie decides to get some sun.

Hmm! Ken is late. Barbie is getting hot, and she doesn't look very happy.

Maybe she's thinking of how hard she worked over that hot stove frying chicken this morning .

hehehehehe

Oh! There's Ken now. Have fun, you two.!

Hmm. Barbie's tablescape colors might have inspired me to create one. I have some red, blue and yellow. And I do have those new red and blue placemats...................

and those new, red glasses.....................

I could use my white, mini soup tureen.........................

My red charges, and red and white plates from the Dollar Tree........

Hmmm. Maybe I'll have to work on that for next week. :)

Thanks for stopping by this week. I figured if Susan and Kim could play with their doll houses, I could play with my Barbie, too. :)

Vintage Tablecloth Tablescape

I'm joining the fabulous Susan for Tablescape Thursday. Between Naps on the Porch is where you will find wonderful ideas for your table decorating.

Today, I'm doing a vintage inspired tablescape. It has springy colors, too.

Here's my inspiration. This pretty vintage tablecloth. I think I bought this tablecloth from Cindy's My Romantic Home Etsy shop.

The pink is a brighter pink, so I thought this bouquet of flowers would work well with it. I'm using a hodge podge for the rest of the centerpiece.



I finally got the Gollum dishes, and I just love them, too. I got them for $19.95, which is an unbelievable price to me. I felt I needed some more pink, but these dish towels were all I could find in this color. I wish I could have used something else.

I got these glasses recently at Target. I don't think they show up very well, so I put white napkins in them. They come in other colors, too.

Other side of the table.

Thank you for taking time to visit me today.

Vintage Red Juice Glasses

Look what I got! These cute little, red, vintage juice glasses by Fire King. I'm so excited!


Aren't they cute? I saw these before Christmas on Ebay, but felt like I didn't need to spend the extra money on them, so I let them get away. So when I found another set, I jumped on them.

Do you have this wonderful book yet? I would buy the book just for the cover alone.

This book is so wonderfully filled with great decorating ideas and beautiful pictures. And look what glasses area featured in it.

When I saw this picture, I knew I just had to have these glasses.




So, here they are in MY cabinet. :)



I just love them. I'm joining Sue (a little late) for Rednesday. Click HERE to visit her beautiful blog.

Thanks for visiting me today. I just love all you sweet girls in Bloggyville. :)

Decorating for Spring

Today, I'm joining Marty over at A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday. Visit her for more beautiful decorating.

I have been decorating for Spring in my entry and dining room. I've had these pieces for several years. I love the pink tulips. They looked so real when I first got them, that my husband tried to water them.

Here's my little, green hutch. I love the little butterfly birdbath I got recently at Michaels for 40% off. That pitcher is very old. It's actually part of a tea set that belong to my mom when she was a girl.

One day, she and a friend were playing with it, and the friend dropped it, and most of the pieces were broken. The teapot is all I have left of it. :(

The birdbath close up.

And finally, here's the table in my entry. Happy Spring decorating to all of you, and thanks for stopping by.

Visit Marty for more great tabletops.

Bordallo Pinheiro Rabbits

Look what I just got in the mail today! The rabbit teapot.

The creamer!

And the sugar from Bordallo Pinheiro.

I got them from Ebay, and I can't wait to use them for my Easter/Spring decorating. I had seen some of you girls use them in your homes, and I just fell in love with them. Now I have some of my own. :)

I'm linking this post to Cindy's Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

Thanks for visiting me today, I love it when you drop by. :)
