Tablescapes, Leprechaun Village, a Sip & a Nosh
I thought I’d take you to Ireland today for a bit of a sip and a nosh in an Irish village. An Irish Leprechaun Village…
Leprechauns live here in little stone cottages with window boxes and cabbage trees. Their yards are moss and clover.
They are off looking for pots of gold right now so it’s safe to have a peek around…
There are green and gold coins scattered all over, those messy Leprechauns! Gold must be easy for them to find!
Giant cabbage trees grow helter skelter around the village.
You must be getting thirsty by now, on this bright sunny day…
How about some Baileys Irish Creme on the rocks,
on the COFFEE rocks, that is!
This is such a delightful treat, coffee, dessert and a cocktail all rolled into one!
Oh look, they have left us a giant 4 leaf clover!
This shamrock is filled with savory Cheddar and chives, very lucky for us indeed!
The leprechauns sure know how to live!
Have you ever noticed how shamrock leaves look sorta like hearts?
Well, I thought so too!
I had a stash of these cheesy hearts tucked away in the freezer that I made in February…
A few more chives for the top and stem, and Voila, a perfect little plate of savory bites for St. Patrick’s Day!
Of course Bailey’s Irish Creme is totally awesome over regular ice cubes, but with a little leftover coffee you can really make it tasty! Do you even have an ice cube tray? I was trying to improvise when I remembered….I DID have an ice cube tray!
I had some in the closet holding earrings…
Coffee ice cubes have so many possibilities, I want to keep some on hand for iced coffee too…
If you don’t have an ice cube tray, you can always use an egg carton!

What a fun and festive post! Love the cheddar hearts being made into a four-leaf clover!!

Love the village, food, and libation. Wonderful post.
Coffee rocks…that makes a heap of sense!!! I will need to pin this to remember it. (Sad that I have become so dependent upon my Pinterest boards to assist my memory!) I love a nice glass of Irish cream after dinner, but I always have hated how it gets watered down from the ice. It’s a MUST that it be on the rocks, so this solves that problem! Thank you! 🙂 I like your leprechaun village! Wow…this had to have taken quite some time to construct! I really like the “giant cabbage trees” and the moss covered land!
The Baileys over coffee ice cubes sounds delicious. What a great idea. Love your leprechaun village too. It’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.
This is fun! Love your village and I’d love to join you for a drink and snack-enjoy:@)
Come on over!
Your leprechaun village is so clever and fun! Love the idea of coffee ice cubes, we have a Keurig now so no left over coffee but a great idea, especially using an egg carton! Your cheesy heart/shamocks are genius~ I wish I had some in the freezer 🙂
Love the idea of the coffee rocks.. now that idea rocks!!! And I love Baileys.. oh that might be my middle name? lol. Darling village.. Wishing you a Happy St. Patrick’s day and sending all the good Irish blessings your way.. xo marlis
Thanks Marlis!
Well, I love Bailey’s Irish Cream, and your idea of the coffee rocks is a great idea. Love the tip of using an egg carton for making the ice cubes. How very clever! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ~ Sarah
Thanks Sarah, hope you try the ice cubes, if it EVER gets warm again I want to use them for iced coffee
Love your little Irish village table…those cheddar bites look yummy!
