I saw some adorable little shamrock teacups and saucers in The Christmas Tree Shop (a bargain store here in New England) about a month ago and and all I could think of was planting shamrocks in the cup! And, I had the perfect Irish friend to give it to. So, I purchased one and waited for some shamrocks to be available for sale…which they always are as St. Patrick’s Day comes close.
I was so excited when I saw a shamrock plant in one of the bargain stores…yes!
I simply planted the shamrocks into the teacup…my one shamrock plant was big enough to use for two cups…I used the sweet little shamrock teacup and…

planted some in one of my Jadite cups to add a little St. Patrick’s Day spirit to my own home :)
Get yourself some shamrocks and plant them in a container that makes you smile! I can’t send you a shamrock-filled teacup, so, as a gift to you, here is a St. Patrick’s Day blessing you can pin or send to a friend :) Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Have a happy and safe St. Patrick’s Day week!
Thanks so much for visiting, Jackie

Hello Jackie
I’ve come from Becky’s Blissful Whites.
I adore your sweet shamrock cup to celebrate St Pat’s Day! I’ve seen them on other blogs and I’m very envious as they don’t seem to be in the shops where I live in the South Pacific!
A fabulous idea planting shamrocks – I’m inspired to do the same!!!
Your Jadite cups are too gorgeous too!
Lovely meeting you – I’ll follow you in Reader.
Shane ♥ (an Irish lass)!!
Thank you so much. If they should happen to have any more of the shamrock cups left so close to St. Pat’s, I will get your address and mail you one! An Irish lass named Shane should most certainly own one! If I hadn’t already given mine away, I would have sent it right out :)
What a sweet gift! I’m sure your friend will love it. Thanks so much for contributing to Thursday’s Inspiration, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! xoxo
You are welcome! So happy to have found your blog…your photos are breathtaking :)
I love the shamrocks. Oh, my gosh< Jackie< I love it. Can I ask what store you bought it at? I think my daughter with the greenhouse would love it. Thanks for linking to my party also. Please link as many posts as you like. Your friend, Linda
Thanks Linda! The sweet little cup and saucer came from The Christmas Tree shop…I think it was $2.? If you are looking for shamrocks you can find them all over – maybe not since St. Patrick’s Day is over – they have some wonderful purple ones at Terrain in Westport…if your daughter has a greenhouse, she definitely has to make a trip to Terrain if she hasn’t already. There are only two in the country and one of them happens to be located in Westport, CT.
Ha ha… the other one is in Pennsylvania where my sister lives. Believe it or not we’ve been to the Terrain in PA but not in Westport. I’m putting that on my list. Thanks for the info. Love the cup, too…
I’ve been to both lol…you need to go!
I love your “Irish” teacups filled with shamrocks. Really sweet! Pamela
Thank you Pam! I love your nests!! I am a little ‘nest obsessed’ lol…have you seen the book “Nests” by Sharon Beals? You would probably enjoy it as much as I.
