Happy Halloween!

Halloween is only a few days away and I have a little Halloween tablescape on our breakfast nook table. I'm joining Susan at BNOTP for Tablescape Thursday! Thanks, Susan, for hosting weekly! Click on her name for lots more inspiration.

Inspiration for this tablescape is this cute witch's hat:

We found this ceramic hat/server on sale at Cracker Barrel last year after Halloween. The original price was $20, but it was on sale for about $7.99 and we scooped it up, although I don't usually buy Halloween things. I had forgotten we had bought it and was surprised when I found it stored in the Halloween box! I guess it is a chip and dip server. The pointed hat removes for serving goodies inside.

What would you serve inside?

Goodies may also be served inside the witch's boot:

I bought it several years ago at Hobby Lobby. I love the little dangling candy corn on the toe!
The polka dot black cat also came from Hobby Lobby several years ago. He has a cute little Jack-o-lantern dangling on his neck!
The three make a cute centerpiece, don't you think?


I have several colors of these polka dot dessert plates, but only using the green and yellow here.
I found the polka dot plates at TJ Maxx, and/or Marshall's, and/or Home Goods.

View from the top:

Have you noticed anything missing?? I took a bunch of pictures, before I realized I didn't have
glasses on the table! Have you ever done that before? I have, and I have also forgotten to add the flatware, or the napkins! LOL!

I quickly added some glasses, then took a few more pictures!

I only have three of these yellow polka dot dishes, I looked everywhere to find more, but couldn't. If anybody has one, or more of them you would like to sell, please let me know!! Thank you!

I've also looked on Ebay, but couldn't find them :-(

I hope you enjoyed my little Halloween tablescape!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween and Scarecrows

I only do a little Halloween decorating. I don't like scary Halloween, just cute Halloween. I have a few vintage look cute Halloween decorations. This year I bought the Halloween post card at TJ Maxx. The little kids behind the fence on it remind me of the ones (below) I have used the last few years.
This year I have them displayed on top of my doll curio cabinet in our family room. I found the ragged black cheesecloth at Dollar Tree.

The large candy corn pieces are glass.

I love these little Trick or Treaters!

See the one on the left side, he has candy corn tied on a stick!

How cute is that??

I framed the Mary Englebreit witch a few years ago!

Okay, now I'll share a little secret with you. The vignette above is the second one I did in the past few days. I started with using the Halloween post card in the background:

I just wasn't pleased with the look:

So, it went from this:

To this:

I had forgotten about the little framed witch, so I added it and it gave the added height needed.

The wooden Halloween post card was moved down to the wicker trunk at the end of the sofa, right beside the curio cabinet.

Don't you think this one looks better?


I have my scarecrow collection displayed on top of the TV armoire this year.

It's so hard to get good pictures because of those very high windows behind!

It's usually better to wait till dark and use the flash.


Yesterday I posted last year's tablescape using these scarecrows.
If you missed it, click here!

This welcome sign (above) sits on top of the TV

The scarecrow tassel hangs from the TV armoire door knob.

I carried out the scarecrow theme in the family room

The top of the antique clock has a vignette.

The CD holder has little scarecrows tucked in here and there.

The pic using the flash is probably better!

The flower pot scarecrows, and light bulb scarecrow are on the kitchen counter.

I tucked in faux fall leaves and cute little scarecrow picks to make this floral arrangement more fallish.

On the end table beside the easy chair!

I thought the flash would show the colors better, but it was too much.

Would you like some candy corn or pumpkin candy?

I almost forgot to show you the wooden Jack-0-Lantern I found at Ross recently. It has a tin witches hat on. I decided to use this one instead of a real pumpkin, as I can't eat pumpkin now and don't want to just throw it away. This one will save from year to year!

Our entryway.

Sometimes "Jack" sits on the bench, but it's supposed to rain today, so I have him under the sheltered area.


I still have more fall decorating to share, but since this is getting long, I'll do more another day!

TTFN!

Happy Halloween!
