Because I will be hosting a Celtic themed party this weekend I am really getting into the St. Patrick's day mood. Now if you don't know who Celtic Thunder is let this video catch you up to speed. They are five swaggering hot men (well four men and a cute boy) from Ireland with amazing talent.
After we settle down we are going to watch John Wayne in "The Quiet Man." A cute movie a bout a boxer who moves back to Ireland from Amerrica and falls in love. It Ends with quite a remarkably long fight scene.

Ireland! Ireland! Together Standing Tall! Sholder to Sholder We'' Answer Ireland's Calll!
OK! Now that Valentines is over It's time to go raid the candy isles, get out your best green suit and top hat. My personal favorite holiday is coming next... St. Patrick's Day!!! Well maybe it's not my favorite holiday but I love Irish traditions. This weekend I will be hosting an Irish themed bachelorette party, so I'm really into the spirit of the holiday. 
So in the middle of putting new floors in our living room, and trying to put together a garden, I will be trying to put together some ideas for an Irish themed party. It will be challenging because it seems the stores skipped St. Patrick's Day and went straight to Easter. Oh, well. we can pull it off. I will be posting my ideas when I can.

Centerpeice Party!
Cindy at My Romantic Home is hosting a centerpiece party for the month of February! There are many wonderful ideas for Valentine's Day centerpieces and tablescapes. I didn't really do any Valentine's Day decorating this year because we are about to be putting new floors in the living room and when that is over I will be hosting an Irish themed party for a friend who is getting married. So I kinda skipped to St. Patrick's Day even though it's not till next month. But I tried my luck (see, St. Patty's on the brain) at doing a Valentine centerpiece.
Well folks.... this is about as good as it got. Like I said, I don't just have a lot of Valentine's Day stuff, but I think it came out kinda cute. Well... let's try something different....
I like this much better. So it doesn't exactly scream Valentines but I think is sweet and simple. I wish I had a white tablecloth. I love a grouping with different shades of white. My grandmother used to crochet these little doorknob covers. I used one over a little jar and put the rose in it. I think that is my favorite part of the centerpiece. Let me know which one you liked better.

Some Historical Inspiration
Just look at the lace! I love the mismatched chairs. Everything else in the house was so perfectly placed. The little quirkiness was welcome.
Just look at the beautiful detail! It's so elegant!

Sing Praises Sunday
The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save;he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love;he will exult over you with loud singing.

Hello Little Bird
Hello little bird. I'm glad you have found your way here. I have enjoyed so many beautiful blogs and I have decided it was time I venture into making my own blog. I hope you join me as I feather my first nest with a little help from the husband.
And maybe we'll try a few little craft projects along the way. I love to be creative in my free time, though I haven't had much of that lately.
So here we go on a new adventure. I hope to meet new people and have a lot of fun together.
The cat wants a bird.
