How do you like to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day? Coffee in bed, as a matter of fact, is my idea of a great start to a Saint Patrick’s Day Celebration. A chocolate croissant might not seem like traditional fare, but Saint Patrick did attend seminary in France. Italian aqua, well again, Saint Patrick was from Britain and at that time it was part of the Roman Empire. The elements on the breakfast tray have both shamrocks and a harp which are emblems of Ireland. Why not have a wee bit of fun and enjoy coffee in bed this Saint Patrick’s Day? It is easy to tweak the breakfast tray to accommodate any holiday: the first start with the basic elements (flower jars, creamer and sugar bowls, water glasses and a tray) then add a few holiday-specific elements, such as, coffee mugs, napkins, flowers, and any small decor items that fit into the grouping.
