Elegant Black & White Halloween (T)

 

Welcome to my Elegant Black & White Halloween.  We adults can have fun too!

 

I've layered some black and white dishes with wild animal prints to jazz it up a bit!  Elements of silver and gold appear too. 

I added a gold leaf to place the wine glass on... 

 Daylight gently streams along the table though it won't be long before darkness takes over...

My center arrangement started with this sequened placemat I found at Home Goods.  I've had the spider web placemats for some years.
 

 

Two dozen white roses add a touch of elgance to the centerpiece.

A little elegant boo from MacKenzie Childs, my splurge for the season.

 

The black and white votive is also a MacKenzie Childs piece from several years back.  Notice it's outlined with gold and so are the wine glasses and napkin rings.

A chopped salad will be served and then a pot pie followed by sweet cherry cobbler with ice cream!

 

Ahh now the tone is set!

Thanks for joining me for my Elegant Black & White Halloween!

Halloween With Whimsy! (T)

Welcome to my Halloween with Whimsy tablescape!

 Once again Zelda the "very chic good witch" joins us!

The candelabra and witch were both from Pier 1 last year and the year before.

I featured her last year in my Halloween Carnival found "here".

 I got this lighted lantern (last year) with sparkly gold that swirls around.  

 I decided to show you my table in steps as I built it.

 I'm not 100% sure but I think I got these spider and skull & metal chargers at Michael's a few years back.

 There are four different plates on top.

 The transferware plates are from Lenox and they're called Haunted Village.  I got them last year.  I used a creamy white plate with a black border underneath.

 The spider napkin rings were a find at Home Goods and are by Cynthia Rowley.  I find her stuff to be made very well.  The napkins are from TAG a few years back.

Now for some nighttime photos!

  I'm glad you could join me for my Halloween With Whimsy tablescape!

Halloween Tablescapes Past and Present (T)

My most recent "Toxic and Creepy" tablescape.

 I create all my Halloween tablescapes for fun!

2018

My "Halloween Carnival"

A lighthearted Halloween tablescape.

In 2017 my "Dining With Luann"

I had some fun with a styrofoam form, fabric and mod podge! Creepy cute!

2016 "Join Me If You Dare"

Lacy fabric draped over an orange tablecloth looking like a big spider web.  I attached some ribbon and styrofoam balls to the cone shaped centerpiece.  All in fun!

 In 2016 my "Halloween Extravaganza"

This is a favorite!  I did a lot of extras for this one!

 2015 "Haunted House, Skulls and Spiders"

2015 "Witches, Bats, Pumpkins and Pigs"!

There are more and you can browse at those up in the tabs bar.  Select the "Tablescapes" dropdown menu and then "Halloween".  

Can't get enough of the beautiful red Japanese maples cast against the golden yellow fall leaves!

Halloween will be perfect this year.  There are still some colorful leaves on the trees and the weather will be fantastic too!  I wish you all a fun Halloween!

TOXIC and CREEPY!

Watch out for the TOXIC brew served in this skull!  

Let's see who's at this party!

They drank some of the TOXIC brew and ended up like this!

I think they all had too much!

Same Lenox Haunted Village dishes and placemats from my previous "Halloween Carnival " tablescape.

I placed the napkins in the tumblers so you could see the patterns on the glasses better.  There are four patterns and they came from Williams Sonoma a couple of years ago.

I used my three tier adjustable stand to create the centerpiece.

Fun for the young at heart!

The LED light in the pumpkin changes colors.  Boy the kids would have loved this when they were little ones! (Cracker Barrel)

A costume for the bottle of wine!

(Kohl's)

Witches Brew is produced seasonally at a local winery.  

Serve gently heated as a dessert wine. 

 I think we'll try that rather than the TOXIC mixture in the skull!

I placed flameless tea lights and a domed light with timer under the netting for some more interesting affects at night.  

I hope you enjoyed my TOXIC tablescape and that it wasn't too CREEPY for you!
