Saturday Snippets and St. Patrick's Day Tree 2016

The daffodils are beginning to bloom in the yard so I just had to bring a little bouquet of happiness into the house.
 I used my squatty little $1 thrift store vase and it fits perfectly into the tiered tray centerpiece. 
I aim for a functional centerpiece with a few seasonal touches, and ♥ my old Corelle sugar and creamer set:@)

All of the nice warm weather we've been having in Philly has me thinking about grilling out and I saw this new McCormick Grill Mates Marinade today... Can't wait to try it with pork chops or maybe even the variation on the back that calls for adding mustard, I think that would be good on pork tenderloin.

New items on the St. Pat's tree this year include the leprechaun ornaments from stickers, two smaller clover bead ornaments and a few orange balls (from Halloween clearance). While putting away Christmas I decided to place the box of glitter balls towards the front of the closet for easy access, that allowed me to use some green and gold balls on this tree:@)

New smaller accent bead shamrocks from the $1 bead bin at Walmart. The ornament is about 2" across and I had enough beads to make two.

 Silly tree topper still makes me smile.

We're looking forward to corned beef and cabbage for Sunday dinner, including our favorite quick rye dinner rolls!
Have a happy weekend:@)
