Holidays, Keeper of the Cloth Table & St. Patrick’s Day Round-up
I got really lucky last year when I found a very special package in my mailbox,
the Lucky Traveling Shamrock Table Topper!
This festive vintage topper, covered with shamrocks and Celtic knots, began it’s journey In the Middle of Nowhere from Marigene. You can see her original tablescape here. She passed it to Cuisine Kathleen with instructions to pass it to another blogger for a table…and so the journey began…to The Gazebo House, and Home is Where the Boat is, on to Hyacinths for the Soul and Kitty’s Kozy Kitchen…
It has traveled here and there, far and yonder,
and from Mountain Breaths in the North last year, it came to me in the South!
And somewhere along the way, a leprechaun joined the journey!
Pots of gold follow him wherever he goes!
He’s a jolly soul, always smiling
Who wouldn’t be smiling surrounded by lucky shamrocks and gold ☘️
Who will be the next “Keeper of the Cloth?”
We’ll find out March 2019!
We love St. Patrick’s Day at our house, and feel very lucky indeed because our precious CC was born on this day
My darling daughter had a darling daughter…
Quite the princess she is already…turning 5 this year!
I’ve rounded up some favorites from St. Pat’s days past to get you in the spirit ☘️
Once your table is set, you are going to want some
GOOD things to EAT
Reuben Rolls with Spicy Sandwich Sauce
Spinach Souffle Stuffed Potatoes
Pot ‘o Gold Soup with Lucky Croutons
And for the Grand Finale~
Chocolate Cake with Pistachio Chocolate Ganache!
I hope your March is very Lucky!
To celebrate this Lucky feeling, March 4 & 5

How fun the traveling topper made it your way Jenna! Your Irish round up makes me want to dance a jig 🙂 The Annalee leprechaun was my contribution…make sure you keep an eye on him, he is full of mischief! ♣
ha ha, I thought so! I looked back at all the posts and yours was the first one he showed up in! He is adorable, I will be sure to send him on…
Sweet! I’ve enjoyed watching the journey in the years I’ve blogged….Mary’s addition in the leprechaun mixes magic and mischief. 😉 ♣♣ Your celebratory ideas are all that, Jenna! ♣♣
Thanks Rita, happy March!
Jenna, you really do St. Patrick’s Day up right, love seeing your vignettes from the past. Fun to see the list of the traveling table topper, it has been in good hands! How sweet to see the pic of your beautiful daughter and grand and celebrating this holiday has even more meaning. Have a wonderful week sweet friend…….
Thank you Emily, I was so excited to receive the topper, such a fun idea~
DD, CC & I stick together in our family full of boys, we are very outnumbered!
What a fun idea for the traveling table topper, and your recipe round up has me getting hungry!
Thank you Carole!
Oh Jenna, We were talking about the traveling topper at our NYC traveling toters lunch but Debbie would not reveal the destination!!! I have been trying to guess but I was quite surprised and delighted just now to open your post! Your daughter is beautiful and her little princess looks quite elegant in her gown and tiara. I was eyeing your delicious list of goodies and I stopped suddenly at the Baileys cupcakes. I need to make these this weekend for guests! Just my style too–super easy! Mr. Leprechaun, on his fabulous M-C perch surrounded by magical shamrocks, looks like he may have indulged in a few already! Linda
ha ha, yes he’s a jolly one! I hope everyone loves the cupcakes, thanks Linda!
I was wondering where that cloth went! So many fond memories of the fun St. Patrick’s Day Blog crawls and the friends made along the way.
Thanks so much for showing the keeper of the cloth tag Rett made too.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Oh, thank you Kathleen! Of course I have been thinking of you while creating St. Pat’s food and decor…I hope you are well and your heart is healing. I was thrilled to receive the traveling topper! Such fun!
Your St. Paddy’s day decorations are so happy, they make me smile. And I love the recipe share. I think I need to make those shamrock sandwiches! (I did potato crowns again earlier this week — they have become a go-to!). And how fun to have something so cherry that goes from blogger to blogger, friend to friend. It adds to the special time you set/look at your pretty table!
Thank you Jeanie, so glad you love the crowns 🙂
I was wondering where it would land this year – you certainly have a way of designing a beautiful table top! Your 3 tiered serving stand is a beauty! I want to hire you as my personal chef, too, is that possible?
ha ha, thank you Patti! I don’t work as hard in the kitchen as you might think, my husband and son are always cooking too…HH surprised me with the tiered stand a couple of Christmas’ ago, I almost fainted! It is always on display somewhere and I use it all the time ❤️
Lucky you, you got the Traveling cloth. Your table looks so pretty. Love the little Leprechaun! You are such a great foodies. The menu and food looks amazing.
Thank you Linda, yes I was thrilled and surprised to receive the cloth!
so fun! and your daughter and granddaughter are so beautiful! <3
So festive and creative, Jenna!! 🍀🍀🍀 Always enjoy your table decorations and yummy photos! 💚
I just love the lucky shamrock tablecloth! You make a fabulous St Patricks Day table every year. I want in on all of the goodies too!
How fun to have a princess born on St. Patrick’s Day. My niece is married to a St. Patty’s Day guy so I always remember his birthday.
It’s a great birthday!
Wow Jenna, your table looks so festive with the topper and your pretty dishes. Courtly Check seems to coordinates with everything, doesn’t it? I’m smiling at your beautiful daughter and granddaughter. I’m looking forward to seeing who receives the traveling cloth next. Great job!
Thanks Deb, and thank you for giving me the lucky traveling shamrock topper, such an honor!
I came here full and now I am hungry! LOL
Oh dear, I remember all the journeys of the Traveling Table Topper. I must be getting OLD! You are the perfect destination.
Aw, thanks Bonnie!
How wonderful that the traveling topper made it to your lucky house, Jenna, and You did such a pretty table with it! I loved seeing all your other tablescapes, and all your round up of recipes. Your daughter and your granddaughter are so beautiful. i wonder who the lucky recipient will be next year??
Thank you Kitty! How did you ever choose who to send it to??
So fun!
Your table setting looks great,how fun that the tablecloth jigged its way your house Jenna-enjoy:@)
Wow, there’s a lot to see on this post. Somehow I missed the traveling table topper….what fun. I love seeing photos of your family as it makes me feel I know you a little better.
Oh, thank you Linda!
Jenna, what a “top of the mornin” post. I am sorry I am late to this party. The traveling topper is so much fun. I love every detail of your table. We traveled to Ireland in 2015, we loved it! The Irish are delightful! Your daughter is so pretty and of course, CC the princess is adorable. The food looks fabulous, as always!
Thank you Pam! Lucky you to have experienced Ireland first hand!
Hi Jenna, oh I love St Patrick’s Day and I LOVE your table, the crafts, and the recipes!
Thanks for sharing this at our Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
Have a nice week.
Julie
Oh thank you sweet Julie!
You have such a pretty family, Jenna. The leprechaun is so cute….he’s laughing all over himself! This is a great round-up. I think I’ll let Trip read and and pick some recipes. I haven’t really gotten excited about cooking anything lately because of the never-ending-horse-show-season, but now that it’s finally over, maybe I’ll have time to cook more!
I know you’re glad to have your weekends back, but you certainly ended the horse show season on a high note with a big blue ribbon!!
Yep! 😀
I absolutely love the tradition of the travelling table topper. What a wonderful idea. Your table is lovely and the menu looks delicious.
I love that you include delicious treats with your tables and thanks for sharing the pictures of your darling daughter and her darling daughter. It’s always a pleasure when you join us at Celebrate Your Story.
So sweet! Thank you Sandra!
Oh my Jenna!! I got chills as I saw the photo of all the names that have been blessed with the traveling table cloth! I used to love Kathleen’s table challenges. As the keeper of the cloth, you did a fabulous job keeping the tradition going with a charming St. Patty’s table! Your little princess and I share the same birthday, it’s a fun day to have a birthday!!
Thank you Ann, yes, I was thrilled to recieve the special topper! And Happy early Birthday to you!!
That table topper is like the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants! Love it! Thanks for sharing.
ha, yes I guess it is! Thanks Helen!
Congratulations!
