St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic.
With St Patrick's Day approaching faster than a leprechaun chasing after a pot of gold, it's time we get into the spring of things and start preparing for the decorating for the holiday.
No need to get all clover'ed out and splash shamrocks from floor to ceiling. There are plenty of ideas you can do to get your pad prepped for patty's day and here a few:
Add a centerpiece to your dining table or ottoman/coffee table that is emphasized in the green family. Green vases and jars, greenery from your own yard or even faux picked up at the local JoAnn's. Either way, you can go all out without going all gaudy.
(Anything set upon a gold tray is GOLDEN in my book...PERIOD!)
A simple ribbon tacked into place with pearls push pins and placed upon a small saucer (from any local dollar store) will lighten the mood.
Placing Granny Smith apples into a glass vase or jar will add some eye-popping color to any corner.
You can also do this with leftover green ornaments from Christmas. Get out the box of decorations from this past holiday and see what you got to work with that is clever.
And don't forget: If you are entertaining for the evening, nothing screams Happy St Patrick's Day like corned beef and cabbage.
If prepared properly, it'll have all your guest feeling lucky you invited them.
A good drink I'd like to offer would be the classic Mint Julep. It's refreshing, down home, and sure to be a crowd pleaser. Garnish with a couple mint sprigs (or even a four leaved clover if you come across any) would be festive.

Happy Decorating for St Patrick's Day! I wish you all but luck (you'll get plenty of that when you find the pot o' gold :)
