{March 23, 2016}   Irish Themed Dinner Party

We love to cook.  We love to entertain.  A great way to do both is to have a dinner party and break bread together with dear friends.

We decided to have an Irish themed dinner party the day after St.  Patrick’s Day. We came up with an amazing menu with each course complimenting the other.  The invitation….

Lovely Lisa! How did you get the ribbons of green to stay in place? You inspire me Honey.

I layered them like a tartan, criss-crossing them over each other. The place settings helped hold them in place. Super pleased with the tartan like look the ribbons created.
