An Irish Tea

A helping of green with a lot of white for St. Patrick's Day today. 

The teacup is Wedgwood.

The little tea set I found at TJ Maxx last year.  There is no marking on it.

 
A couple of Irish sayings for you:
  
Many a sudden change takes place on a spring day.  

Marriages are all happy. It's having breakfast together that causes all the trouble.

  39. What a lovely teacup and tea setting! Those sayings are funny!
    May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.
    May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.
    May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.
    And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day! Linda
