Setting The Table For St. Patrick's Day

Although St. Patrick's Day doesn't technically land in spring, it's our first holiday where it feels like spring!

With shades of green as the focal point, using lot's of lush moss, natural greenery, and spring florals. It's time to set the table with a flair of the sprawling green hills of Ireland as your inspiration...

 Beside the beer, bacon and cabbage aspect of St. Patty's, the holiday is a serious tradition in Ireland that includes going to church in the morning and then having a feast in observance in the afternoon. So set the table accordingly for a full meal with the family! And as most of us in America don't celebrate St. Patrick's day as a religious holiday, it's still an excellent reason to share a meal with loved ones. After all there's no bad reason for sharing a meal!
We put together a few of our favorite St. Patrick's day tablescapes for inspiration for your feasting table.There's many different styles all featuring the traditional color of the holiday. Let us know which one is your favorite, and be sure to share your tablescapes with us on our facebook page!

Holiday DIY

With Christmas only a few DAYS away, it's crunch time! So in addition to our very handy Holiday Gourmet To-Go Menu we're also helping you out with a quick decor DIY for your holidays!
This  little center piece is very simple and quick. All you'll need is a cylinder vase, we got ours from the dollar tree, a little burlap, ribbon, and some holiday greens!

1. First you'll cut your burlap to size. You'll want it to be wide enough to overlap, so you can glue the material to itself. Place the burlap around the vase and glue it to itself. The length can be trimmed after it's adhered to the vase for the correct size. 

    2.  Now That you have your burlap covered vase, you can embellish it with ribbon! Simple enough, you just choose ribbon in whatever colors and textures you'd like.  Make sure to line up the seams of the ribbon with the seams on the of the burlap so everything is neat. 

3. You can then add fresh greens, branches from your yard, or even a candle, and voila you have some holiday decor in 20 minutes or less!
