If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I'm a busy working mother of two and while I like to entertain, I have to keep it simple for my sanity. Fortunately, St. Patrick's Day is a no fuss holiday. Just a few friends, great food and good beer, maybe even a 5k. I'll let the photos do most of the talking.
A preserved boxwood wreath, a pitcher of water to conveniently refill and a couple of family heirloom bibles.
Clover plants are so delicate and precious. The subtle green is enough to compliment the table.
Who doesn't need a little good luck and inspiration. In the wise words of Jimmy Buffett, "with a little love and luck we'll get by."
I usually serve water with lemon or orange slices, but lime is oh so right for a simple St. Patty's Day touch.
What are you doing to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

I love the simplicity of your decor here.....would you mind sharing how you made (or where you found) your preserved boxwood wreath?? That whole display takes my breath away...love the heirloom bibles xoxo
Thank you! Of course not! I actually just blogged how to preserve your own boxwood here: http://www.julieblanner.com/2013/03/how-to-preserve-boxwood-wreath.html
I love reading through the bibles-they provide details of our family dating back to the 1800's!
