Yippee! It’s time to set and see some tablesettings from around the Blogisphere. Susan at Between Naps on the Porch is our hostess for this weekly event. If you ever have a table setting you want to share you can join in, too. Click on the image above to get to Susan’s blog where you can see more tablescapes.
My tablescape today is actually an ottoman scape. It’s St. Patty’s Day appetizer setting for two. I got these great artichoke plates at Goodwill a couple weeks ago for 99 cents each!
We’re going a little Irish here so there’s some good Jameson Whiskey for the gentleman of the house and a nice Irish Guinness for the lady of the house.
I think I’ll have to play my Cd by the Chieftains while we enjoy our artichoke appetizers.
I will be making the traditional Corn Beef and Cabbage with potatoes next Tuesday but I wanted to share a little Irish with you for Tablescape Thursday. Enjoy…
Photobucket is holding all my photos I stored with them from 2007-2015 hostage unless I pay them a lot of money. I’m slowly cleaning up many posts from this time period and deleting their ugly grey and black boxes with a ransom request. Such a time consuming bother.

Oh Ellen I LOVE your artichoke plates…and 99 cents each ….oh my! Wonderful ottoman-scape….. I may have to borrow tour idea…when I get an ottoman…hahaha

Susan
Look at you, clever gal! An ottoman-scape, and 99cent plates. This is just great, made me smile. I have a Chieftains Cd, but it is Christmas music……
What a cute idea you came up with Ellen B. But then we wouldn’t expect anything less :)!!
Now I’m off to listen to the Chieftains. Have you heard of “The Wicked Tinkers”? They’re great!
Have a fun evening!

Way cute to set it on the ottoman. I love that sweet intimate idea!
That’s beautiful! Love the artichokes! Linda
I just love a good cheap find like those cute plates. I’d almost rather find a bargin than have the money for expensive table ware.
I’ll be RIGHT over for a cup o’ Guinness. This was delicious fun, and in so many ways. But those killer plates! 99cents! I want to go shopping with you!
What a great deal on the artichoke plates, ver nice! Love your ottoman scape, lol…Christine
Wow! What a deal you got on those plates! You were in the right place at the right time! Everything is sooooooo lovely! Deb
Those artichoke plates are to die for!!! I almost couldn’t tell where one ending and the other began. How fun they are!
God sure smiles on you…I can not believe all the wonderful bargins you find. You do an amazing job pulling your tables together.
Okay, you had me there for a bit. I was wondering what an ottoman scape was until I saw the last picture. LOL!
Love your artichoke plates, and that linen cloth on the ottoman is just beautiful.
Just gorgeous! I love your artichoke plates! Very Irishy!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 🙂
It looks like you are all set for a lovely St. Pattys day. Thanks for the songs.
Cute and cozy green setting. Look for the pot of gold…

Very clever and what a good shopper. Loved your post. The artichoke plates are wonderful. Thanks for letting me share, Maryrose
I love this utube of the Chieftans! Got the little Irish blood I have in me going!
Oh, l love artichokes! Your table is fab and it all looks delicious!
I love that you did an ottomanscape!!! Since it’s just hubby and me, we always eat in the family room – – – what an inspiration!!!
Love your new plates.
I love artichokes whatever they’re served on, but your setting is just sooo cute! And on an ottoman!
Ellen, I just love this! From the antique linen cloth to the adorable dishes and cute napkins, it is really festive and perfect for St. Paddy’s! Love it!
I’m afraid I just did spring and didn’t do St. Patrick’s Day. Next year…
Happy Tablescape Tuesday!
XO,
Sheila 🙂
Love finding those treasures at the thrift store! Happy St. Patrick’s day! (almost)
Those plates are wonderful, Ellen! Great ottoman scape!
Hi Ellen,
Very pretty – I love how even the food item is green for a St. Patrick’s presentation.
Hi Ellen!

Awesome plates and the tablescape is just beautiful! Great share today, thanks! Happy TT!
Top of the morning to you! 🙂 beautiful Irish tablescape!
Now, do you think I might get a drop of my favourite Irish brew if I came over? Bailey’s Cream. On the rocks, thank you.
Such a fun setting! Happy St. Patrick’s Day. 🙂
Hey, I love the Chieftans….but who are those old men? LOL…I’ve been looking at old album covers for too long, I guess!
Aww, those artichokes look like they grew out of those great plates!
Love it!
I am feeling more than a wee bit Irish with this Tablescape.
Baileys Irish cream on the rocks please! tee hee

Love your plates & I don’t even like artichokes. But I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Very, very cute. Love the colors. Happy St. Patty’s Day!
How neat is that??? I haven’t seen plates like that but I love them since I’m often drawn to green dishes and those are wonderful.
Have a wonderful evening,
Tam
I love those plates! Perfect little table..
Since you are cooking for the 17th, please join the party on my blog…anything Irish!
Mr. Linky will be up the night before, if I can figure it out, LOL..
Ellen,
I linked my way over from Susan’s and I am blown away! This is clever & so cute! I only recently became a blogger, and it is my first tour of Tablescape Thursday! You seem like fun, I wish you lived near me! Wishing you the luck of the Irish!
Cathy
Oh yum, I like it, lovely tablesetting.
