A restful weekend here in Annapolis, in no small part thanks to a crazy burned out electrical transformer that led to a blown out Verizon box that led to a service call to happen between 9am and 9pm that led to a mandatory day at home. It is a wonder how we ever did anything without the internet…or Fios TV. Anyway, it did give me time to put together a St. Patrick Day mantel. I have never attempted to capture the luck of the Irish in my decor, but like my Valentine’s mantel, I am quite pleased that the simplest additions really do have major impact. Do you like the sparkly shamrock? I give the Princess full credit!
Some green depression, vintage postcards and a bunting of shamrock pennants gives homage to Old Saint Patrick.
A close-up of the gorgeous green of the glass.
Vintage St. Patrick postcards are known for their amusing nature and exuberant love of the perfect Irish lass! I love these examples of both.
My Hero also kept busy this weekend. He was able to hang my darling new antique sampler…a post for another time. Thank goodness he had a reliable helper. Someone has to chose the perfect nail!
I am partying with these lovely bloggers this week…why don’t you came too!

I agree! I did a little antique shopping this weekend and my husband I’d scratching his head over a few purchases.
Vintage items speak to me..never really heard anything in Pottery Barn.
