“Ultimately our gift to the world around us is hope…hope that comes not from going around suffering but from going through it”
-Rob Bell
As we embrace the beginning of March, I couldn’t resist the urge to infuse a touch of green into my coffee bar, heralding the early arrival of spring. With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, it felt like the perfect opportunity to blend the festive spirit with the anticipation of warmer days ahead. So, I set out to transform my coffee bar into a cozy yet celebratory space, and I’m excited to share the journey with you all.
First things first, I rummaged through my collection and pulled out my trusty shamrock coffee mugs. These adorable cups instantly set the tone for the theme, adding a spangle of Irish charm to every sip. But why stop there? I delved deeper into my St. Paddy’s Day task and unearthed a few shamrock hats and a festive banner. Draping the banner across the buffet area, I couldn’t help but smile at the burst of green that now adorned the space.
Now, here comes the fun part…dealing with my mischievous feline friend who loves to explore every nook and cranny of the buffet. With a playful kitty in the mix, I had to be mindful of what I placed on top. Lightweight items were a big no-no as they often became her toys in no time. Despite the occasional antics, her curious presence only added to the charm of the setup, reminding me to embrace the spontaneous moments that make life delightful.
As I stood back and admired the transformation, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement for the season ahead. While my coffee bar currently boasts a touch of St. Patrick’s Day flair, I’m already envisioning the next phase of its evolution…a vibrant springtime oasis filled with pastel hues, blooming flowers, and fresh flavors.
So, here’s to Saint Patrick, March, and the promise of spring! I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek into my coffee bar escapades. Stay tuned for more caffeinated adventures as we welcome the change of season with open arms and steaming cup of Joe.
Cheers to March!
