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.

Vintage St. Patrick postcards are known for their amusing nature and exuberant love of the perfect Irish lass! I love these examples of both.
After 2 years an Annapolis tradition is back! Our annual St. Patrick Day parade. A beautiful day for a festive parade.

I like your green decorations for St. Patrick’s Day. Here in Savannah, GA, it’s a very big deal. We’re glad to have our parade back on track for this year, after two years on hiatus due to Covid. Hope you have a fun celebration in Annapolis!

No internet, nooo!! We don’t have cable. We let that go a few years ago, and I haven’t noticed at all, but I don’t know what I’d do without internet. I work on my blog 10-12 hours a day, so I’d be absolutely useless without it lol. You made the best of it though with your adorable St. Paddy’s Day mantle! I love the vintage postcards. The princess did a great job with the glittery shamrock. Thanks for sharing on Crafty Creators!

Oh I know! I just can not function without our internet. It’s amazing how quickly we start to rely on things like that. On the plus side your mantle and decor look great!
