Halloween Tablescape: Welcome to the 112th Tablescape Thursday!

We've had the most amazing weather here alllll week. Last year's Halloween tablescape was indoors, but this year I'm still playing out on the porch.

The napkins looked way too plain so I stopped by Hancock Fabrics and purchased some black tulle. It was on sale for .99 cents a yard. I only needed a yard to create sleeves or overlays for my gold napkins.

The creepy tablecloth is from the Dollar Tree. It only took two to cover the table.

We're having swamp juice tonight as our beverage...hope you're thirsty! :) How about an eyeball stirrer for your drink? ;).

For my centerpiece I used this fun Witch Halloween Costume Hat provided by Colonial Candle. I am so wearing this to give out candy on Halloween night. :)

What a fun table, Susan! I love that it's festive without being "too-too." That witch hat is wonderful, and the candelabra are perfect for this Halloween theme. Love the tulle idea!

Thanks for hosting again and again, just love it every week.

We were thinking along the same lines this week. I love your menu - "Killer Cafe". We did our big family scary dinner on Monday night, it was lots of fun.

Table scaping is too much like work, I'm a catering director. So, I don't normally do them, but, I've been having fun lately. It all started by inviting my in-laws to dinner for their anniversary.

Love how you combine discount store items for an elegant Halloween table.

Love your table this week! Great ideas...the netting looks so good. Your dishes and silverware are always stunning. I love the Killer Cafe signage...that really adds some pizzaz. All the candles, the witch hat! It really looks awesome! I need to do one with a witch hat...it is just so cute!

Thanks again for hosting this each week. I get so inspired by everyone.

Hi Susan,

You must have had such fun creating this one! The table by candle light is really dramatic -- elegant and somehow both eerie and inviting! I particularly liked the shot with the black bird perched atop the menu. It's beautifully composed and has nice movement and energy.

Thank you, as always, for hosting. It's such a pleasure to enjoy the shared creative energy your parties inspire and encourage.

Hope the rest of your week goes well.

Very best regards,
Bill

I can't even begin to tell you how much I look forward to Tablescape Thursday! This time you have out done yourself. I adore this tablescape!!! I think that this one is my favorite. And I'm with you, the hat should be worn to hand out the treats.

Dear Susan,
what a fun. This is a real scary Haloween table. But I love your Italian salad plates combined with the black and yellow ones and the black flatware. This looks gorgeous.
Thank you again for hosting this wonderful meme.
Greetings, Johanna

As always a beautiful table with the fun theme of Halloween. Love your decorations of stick ons too! Thanks for hosting!

Susan, I am lovin this table and that is saying something because I am just not a big Halloween person. To me if you're setting an adult table for Halloween this would be it.

The Fitz & Floyd pieces are perfect, and I love your new silverware too. Your witch's hat is a great piece, it reminds me that I bought one when I was at a craft show a couple of months ago, I'll have to get that out.

For your candelabras were they old silver pieces that you painted black.

Thank you so much for the inspiration, I'm going to get going on my own Halloween table.

Hi Char,
Thanks! Actually, I found those already painted in a local antique/thrift store. You can tell that they were brass prior to being painted. Hope it wasn't really good brass. LOL Probably not, since they painted over them. :)
