Halloween

Bewitching Gathering

Winnie Green flew in to check out

this dinner engagement

She brought along some of her favorite things and seated herself on the champagne bucket!  She's surrounded with purple roses, purple sunflowers, skeletons and spiders!

A black crow keeps watch over her as she 

casts her spell on this dinner table...

 She's brought some friends along to check out the food

 Skull bone candy is served

Salt and pepper shakers must be included too!

 Tonight's dinner is served on black dinner plates from the dollar store, Mikasa's Italian Countryside salad plates and the appetizer plates are by TAG called Halloween Black Plaid

 The purple placemats came from T.J. Maxx and the silver flatware are a set that used to be my Mother's called Reflection by Rogers Bros.

 I like their simple cute design!

 Skull and Cross Bones Wine Glasses
from T.J. Maxx

Evening has fallen and the trees look ominous 

in the dark sky!

Perfect for our bewitching gathering!

 Lots of hands help guide your eyes

 Some are rather creepy

She likes the darkness even more!

The chairs have been mummified and blood stains have appeared!

Time to enjoy some food and spirits!

Witches Brew is in order!

A black light adds some special effects!

Having fun with Halloween (adult style!)

Thanks for stopping in- I hope you enjoyed the visit!

Boo Beary Mansion

Welcome to my Boo Beary Mansion 

& counter top 

Halloween village!

There's gonna be a party here tonight!

Last week when I did my tablescape I included 

these two new Jack-O-Lantern Statues

but I knew I had this adorable 

Boo Beary Mansion somehwere!

I turned on the flash so you could get a 

better glimpse of the details!

There's a black cat on the porch, a hollowed

out tree at the back left, gargoyles along the 

roofline, bats, spiders and pumpkins!

 Enter at your own risk!

Come on in...We'll be witch ya

in a moment!

Up on top is a weathervane and

a removeable roof!

Now when you take the roof off- down

inside is this little bear with the apple dunking 

pail... she sits on a wood plank floor that can

be removed

It says " Apple Bobbing Contest" and

"Contest Rules Bob at your own risk

No double dipping"

This is where some of the party go'ers

will have fun tonight!

I pulled the little bear out of the top

of the house so you could see her

better...she's dipping for apples!

 Wish my camera was a little better

on the details (but don't forget-

you can click on any picture to enlarge)

 Even the back of the mansion is decked out...

"Witch in Training Entrance" on the door!

I was always intrigued by all the detail they

managed to fill this cute little mansion with!

Notice is says "2000" on it..it's been a while

since I bought these!

A little ways down is the

Emma and the

Witchy Bear...she's

reading up on her potions!

 This little gal is called Morgan and she's 

dressed as Puffasaurus with Merlin

She has a lighted jack-o-lantern too!

This witch is called Tabitha and she's

with Wolsey & Zip, Flying High!

 I think she's adorable!

 Cute little pumpkins and ghosts

She's stirring her brew!

Come on in and have a cup!

I only put in a few newts and spiders!

 Thanks for visiting!

I haven't pulled this out in several years!  Once the kids went off to college I pretty much stopped decorating.  This year I decided what the heck, I've got this stuff

why not use it ane enjoy it again!   Hope you liked my indulgence in the past...

Happy Halloween everyone!
