I've set my ice cream table in green and whites....
ST. PATRICK'S DAY GREEN....

NOTHING fancy, mind ya...

NOTHING fancy, mind ya...NOTHING is ever very fancy around SWEET NOTHINGS cottage...
but....
I DO love cuteness...!!
*

That colorful, sassy rooster back there came home withme from ROSS last year...
He is, indeed, COCKY !
The green and white POLKA DOT bowls and pitcher...came hand in hand with the rooster....
*
*
Isn't this a pretty piece of silver ?I only have a few...they are thrifted...
I would dearly LOVE to have an entire set....
The dark green place mats are thrifted...
a set of 12 for $3.00 and they still had stickers on them...
Never used...gotta love it!!
*
O, yes...this little polka dotted pitcher is GREAT forCHOCOLATE SYRUP to pour over your ice cream...
*
The little lacy plate...so pretty....these belonged to MR. SWEET'S mama...
I only have 2...one with pink flowers and one with the yellow.
I don't know if this is all she had or if they came in a set.
They really are delightful...and so summery.
****
There's not a 4 LEAF CLOVER around these parts for a thousand miles..
so I just used ENGLISH IVY from my garden..
*
"Play like" it will bring us all GOOD LUCK..
maybe that POT OF GOLD the little Lucky Charms leprechaun is always talking about!!
*
This setting seemed perfect for a big bowl of ice cream,with toppings, whipped cream, cherries..
I do love those cherries...
only thing better than a MARASCHINO cherry....
is TWO MARASCHINO CHERRIES..!!
I could eat a whole jar of them......

MR. SWEET'S setting had the YELLOW flowered plate...and this photo is taken behind a large Boston fern....

THESE PECANS ARE FOR YOU,KATHLEEN, boss over there at CUISINE KATHLEEN!!

Linking with TABLESCAPE THURSDAY
This beautiful, much awaited for magazine is out and on the newstands...It is pricy...$9.95 ... but I am told it is worth it. I think it will be one you will look at over and over.
I will have to add it into my GROCERY STORE budget and do without 2 bottles of my favorite wine...!!

Pretty pretty! I love your tables BJ and you always tempt us with something delicious. ;)
I love them too and could eat a whole bottle of them too! I love that sassy rooster, if he gives you too much sass, send him to my house will you?! Love the lacy plates and the silver and the ice cream...YUM! That drink looks good too...I always love to visit you! :D
BJ, you do "cuteness" better than anyone I know! :) I ♥ your cocky little rooster & those lacey plates are sooooo delicate looking.
Now you've got me craving a banana split. I haven't had one in YEARS!!!
I love the cuteness of your rooster and those polka dots. Now that ice cream is calling me.....hear it....coming my love.
The only thing better than your cute tablescapes is the delicious desserts you show. Oh, you make me want to run for the freezer for ice cream!
I love the St. Paddy's Day theme and the lace plates are gorgeous. I bet you knew those green place mats would come into play someday!
Love everything, BJ! :-)

Robin
Wow BJ; you sure know how to set a table... It is so pretty,, I love that green on the plates.. and all that yummy yummy ice cream... wow so loving that.... mmmmmmmmmmm
Hugs;
Alaura
What a "cute" table and I loved the white "criss-crossy" plates. Joni
BJ! It's wonderful! Love your dishes and that delicious ice cream confection in the cute bowl!
I thought about you the other day, BJ... do you have a Home Goods nearby? Ours had some polka dot cookware (casserole dishes at fairly reasonable prices). It's heavy as all get out... I tried to pick it up... so it would be twice that heavy with food cooked in it. But it reminded me of you because they had green and white polka dots.
I bought some blue, but I'm going to take it back because it didn't match the blue I have. Sigh. But it was a nice dream while it lasted. Just wanted to tip you off in case you have a Home Goods nearby.
Happy Tablescape Thursday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
The only thing better then the beautiful dishes and the charming rooster and the delicious ice cream sunday is the pictures themselves, wow, that one with the rooster behind and the drink in front looks like a magazine photo and the one with the fern and the ice cream, sooooooo great that shot...I am thinkin I need a new camera maybe....thanks for the great photos my friend, come for a visit and see my rabbits...Phyllis
BJ, this is so cute! I love the polka dots, and that cocky rooster is great! You sure know how to present a bowl of ice cream! That wouldn't have lasted through the photo shoot if I had been around! laurie
Love the green polka dots. Love this whole table. Very pretty.
And you are killing me with that ice cream. Oh, it looks so good.
D
With that pretty tablescape and that yummy ice cream I would say you are pretty "Lucky" as is.
I love the idea of using the little pitcher for chocolate sauce. This is a great idea and I never would have thought of that.
hugs
Joanne
BJ, I like cuteness and fun tablescapes as you can tell from lookingat mine, there is nothingwrong with adding some spice in our lives at this stage of the game. Calorie free ice cream, who are you kidding, I can tell hundreds of calories when I see them and they look wonderful, I just can't have them.
Barbara
You always have the cutest tables with the polka dots:) Love the lattice plates and could just pull up a chair and take a bite:) Yummy. Have a blessed day dear BJ!
I love all of your goodies! You make everything so cozy and inviting! Want to come over here?
Argh, that bowl of ice cream is too tempting!
Who needs fancy when you've got that stuff? I loved this, BJ and you know you now have me addicted to polka dots. My newest dream is to have red and white polka dotted dinner plates. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Justine :o )
What a great table setting! And the ice cream looks delicious! That would have to be my meal....yum!
Hi BJ, Your table looks devine! There is nothing I like better than an ice cream table :>) Ice cream is a huge favorite of mine. I love all of your pretty green. I can't wait to see what you will do for the Saint Patrick's Day party. I am well and I hope you are doing great. Charli is sending you hugs ♥
That silver with the green is to die for. I love it all. We were in Ireland a few months ago and it's fabulous.
Mary
Your table is really pretty! Love the ivy and your plates and placemats and the ice cream sundae looks great!
I love the cute rooster!! He is dynamic! I also love the sweet green polk-a-dots---so cute!
Love your tablescape!!Just adorable BJ:)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Kay Ellen
Such a happy table. Love, love, love those lacy plates. What time do we come for ice-cream?
Beautiful. I love the mix of dishes and color. I love ice cream but it is even better when it is served in a pretty bowl.
Blessings,
Nancy
Well, you know I love those polka dots and that is one funky looking rooster! I love mixing old family pieces with new, contemporary things! This looks great and forget the ice cream, just pass the chocolate sauce!
What an adorable table! Love the rooster...your silver is lovely, it looks like Oneida/Prestige Distinction 1951.
Love your green St. Patrick's Day table. That polka dot china is precious! I also need to get that magazine. {I see we both get a our wine at the same place...actually, I get mine at Trader Joes--$2 buck Chuck & Walmart $3.99}
Dessert was my favorite part of the tablescape! LOL!
I love your table! The rooster is adorable and so cheerful he looks great on the table and you can never go wrong with polka dots. Your table has cuteness for sure!!.
Take care and enjoy your day,
Hugs, Elizabeth
So does that mean you think I am a NUT?? LOL
I just love this pretty ice cream social.. the dishes with that lacey edge are wonderful! And the sundae..delicious!
Thanks for the party mention too..you are sweet!
I love the freshness of this table setting with the green and white, and now I want a huge bowl of ice cream too and we don't have any in the freezer :>( Just as well I guess. You are the queen of cuteness BJ:>)
Love the cut milk glass plate - too fun!
Wow! your table is beautiful, and I want to sign up for dessert. I'm learning I need to take alot more photos as I relish the details.
I just came from Kathleen's and I gained five pounds there...then I come here and..oh never mind! I'm too old to worry about my behind anyway! Gosh, but that looks good...and I just had dinner!
Nothing fancy, you say?! Nothing fancy! Bj, you are one of the fanciest, danciest, pranciest lady's I know in bloggerville.
Everything you do has style..and, and, I want to be JUST like you. :)
The birds...Target birds..yes..who would have thought they would become collector items so quickly.
:) I'm teasing you.. :)
Many hugs and lotsa love!!
Mona
p.s. Do you want mine, Sweetie..because you can certainly have them. I mean that! In a heartbeat I would send them to you!
Love this table and yum to that ice cream. I love nuts on my ice cream so I'm with you there.
Your rooster is modeled after the very famous Portuguese ones (they are national icons) Aren't they beautiful?!!!! Wonderful table-settings, food, and photos, I will be bookmarking your blog. Love it!
BJ the table is gorgeous!!! The ice cream is mighty fine, too!
Good morning bj, I am trying to catch up on visiting but never got down to you yesterday. I am timed out I guess.
I love your St. Patty's post. The sweet lacy dishes are so pretty. I have one and I can't remember where I found it. Yours is a family treasure, lucky you. Your table looks festive and the ice cream mmmmmm. I want some. Thanks for the pecans. I am part Irish and I am ashamed to say I do not have anything for St. Pat's day to show. I do have a pair of shamrock ear rings.
Your photos are magical from Weds. post. I think your camera captured the moment 'Perfectly' and the light factor is awesome. Good for you for getting that photo op on your camera. Camera ready, that's what bloggers do!
I am taking Cheri' to be groomed this morning. She is such a darling. I'll share the after photos. My sister will be here in a moment so gotta run.
Love you, my sister friend.
Jeanne
What a nice post you have to celebrate St Patrick's day!love that ice cream! and the rooster reminds me of our trip to Portugal a few years ago. Always fun coming to visit you.Thank you!
Rita
Cute, sweet, and tasty! That's you, Ms. BJ! Your tablescape I mean. ;) I love those cherries too ... one is never enough!
That magazine looks interesting ... MUST be if you're willing to give up TWO bottles of wine for it (you drink the pricey stuff too, huh?)!
Your photography is stunning (I especially liked the one taken through the fern fronds)!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Fondly,
Bill
Beautiful! I have an urge now to get out my mother's silver and polish it for the table.
I would love to grab your sallad plate.
Everything's adorable. Love everything on your table.
Have a nice day!
