Decorating For St. Patrick's Day

CCC

In March, I will be hosting a big St. Patrick's Day wine tasting and dinner complete with Irish dancing and Irish music. And although my last name is Connolly, I have no Irish blood whatsoever. My late husband was Irish and from Boston. No green beer - just wine varietals I have chosen with a connection to green like green in the name of the wine or green tasting notes.

Distractions

Love Story: John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette

 

I kicked back last night and watched the Olympics - Women's Figure Skating and also the fourth episode of the new limited series Love Story: John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. Have you been watching it?

Setting the Spring Table

Radicchio Salad Plate

 

For all of us who collect lettuce ware and cabbage ware, I have found some darling radicchio pieces in pink and in white, perfect for setting the Spring and Easter table.

The Year of the Horse

First Rodeo Needlepoint Pillow

This is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac. As the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac, the Horse signifies freedom, passion, and resilience, with 2026 being a "Fire" year, amplifying these traits with intensity. The Year of the Fire Horse is associated with dramatic changes, fast-paced action, and major milestones. It encourages taking risks, independence, and breaking free from stagnation.
