Simple St. Patricks Day Celebration

Well, St. Patrick's Day is upon us! We have been working hard to meet the demand of sewing Shamrock gift items for some Lucky Irish families. Now, we need to get ourselves ready.

I wrote my grocery list last night and need to get that done today. The meal is the simple part, it's the decorating that I love! I plan to set my table with a white table cloth, green shamrock table decorations, candles, and my fine china. My daughter plans to make rainbow cupcakes, and I plan to make Irish Soda Bread as a gift to my guests.

The Soda Bread recipe I have makes one huge loaf. But, on these occasions I like to split that into four small loaves. After the bread has cooled, I wrap each one in brown paper and tie it with cord. Then I make a paper shamrock as a tag. Very simple, very cute, appropriate and always appreciated!

While we're not your typical Irish family, we do enjoy a good St. Pat's dinner.
Slainte!
