  3. So beautiful and Spring like. I love each picture and I can’t wait for St Pat’s Day. It is a big day in Savannah and my family is coming into town for the occasion.

    Hope you’re feeling better Jenna! Love your Leprechaun Village and your bounty o’ green recipes! I adore those cheesy chive shamrocks and I’m still looking for that pot of gold 🙂

  6. Oh, what wonderful things you have here! Those cheesy shamrocks look tasty! Hope you feel better.

  7. You are ON IT, girl! I love it when people think ahead of the game!!! I am so far behind right now. I have NO ideas for a St. Patrick’s Day table OR the food to serve at this point. I still have to just get through tomorrow!!! After I put away all that purple, maybe I can focus on just the Irish green.

    I am really, really sorry you haven’t been feeling in the pink. Hope you can get rid of the Martian feeling and back to bubble gum in no time! Take care, little one!
