⌘ SHAMROCK PLACEMATS ⌘
Shamrocks are the eternal symbol of St. Patrick’s Day. Steeped in tradition dating back to the 14th century, when the shamrock made it’s first mention in the English language. Rumored to have been used by Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick, to represent the Holy Trinity. The term shamrock refers to a young sprig of clover that makes its first appearance in the early spring months and belongs to the species Trifolium dubium. Add a personal touch to your holiday decor this year by crafting your own shamrock-inspired placemats and mini-clover sprigs that St. Patrick himself would approve!

⌘ IRISH TABLESCAPE ⌘
St. Patty’s Day decor does not have to include those all-to-expected shiny green shamrocks, over-size beer mugs, and artificial, red leprechaun beards. The luck of the Irish, to me, are rolling green hills, dense woodland abounding with magical creatures, and countryside cottages straight from a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
⌘ DECORATING WITH GREEN ⌘
Green is the eternal color of the Irish and also for their patron saint, St. Patrick. But green is not only for wearing on St. Patty’s Day to safeguard against a stout pinch. In the words of Pedro Calderon de la Barca, “Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises”. Adorn your home with greens of every shade imaginable in the spirit of the holiday.

St. Patty’s Day would not be complete without a pot of gold. No mining required in creating these gold nuggets that are sure to fool your guests. For the larger pieces, spray charcoal from a grill with a couple of coats of gold spray paint. Gravel from your yard or driveway is well-suited size wise to add some dimension to your pot.
⌘ SHEPERD’S PIE ⌘
Certain occasions always call for specific dishes. A shepherd’s pie is no exception and is a staple on St. Patty’s Day or when I clean out the fridge. Either way, it’s delicious. Shepherd’s pie or cottage pie is a meat pie that usually consists of a beef or lamb filling that’s topped with a crust of mashed potatoes.
