A Whimsical Halloween Table Set With My Absolute Favorite “Halloween” China
Welcome to the 785th Tablescape Thursday. It’s gettin’ chilly around here so I had to take advantage of the warmer weather today for at least one more table setting here on the porch.
This table is similar to the one I set for Halloween last year except for a few changes in the tablecloth, glassware, centerpiece, and its location here on the porch.
The arched-back, black-cat stemware is from Overstock a few years back.
The spider and bat tablecloth is an older purchase from 2019. Just checked and it’s still available here: Spider-Bat Lace Tablecloth.
I like mixing buffalo check napkins with other napkin designs. Buffalo check kinda acts like a neutral–the way it works so well with other patterns. The orange and black check napkins are still available here: Buffalo Check Napkins.
The black and white Halloween-themed napkins were a 2017 find here: Halloween Napkins. Not sure the napkins are still available but it looks like they still have the coordinating tablecloths.
One of my favorite Halloween decorations is these ravens I came across in Hobby Lobby several years back. They are just the right amount of spooky without being too scary. I kinda have a pet crow right now. Ha! Every day a single crow visits me–he sits in a tree in my backyard, or, sometimes on my deck pegola and caws until I come outside and put out peanuts and mealworms for him. Once in a while, he brings a few friends, but usually, they fly away as soon as I come out–but not him. He has me trained well. Crows are such fascinating birds! I’ve read that they can remember a human’s face and recognize them up to three years later.
It was love at first sight when I came across this raven dinnerware online last year.
It’s no longer in production but you can still find a fair amount of it available here: Raven/Crow Porcelain China.
I currently have 8 place settings–very tempted to add another 4 to my collection.
A few weeks ago I moved all my Christmas and Halloween decorations from the eave storage space off of my upstairs family room down to the basement. In the process, I came across all these fun Fitz and Floyd serving pieces purchased around 35-40 years ago.
I managed to include one of the pitchers in the centerpiece of this week’s table setting. It’s acting as a vase for the roses.
Beware of the black roses!
They are teeming with spiders! Eeek!
Yikes! A few of the spiders in the tablecloth have escaped and they’ve climbed their way right up to the top of the candles.
I snapped a few photos just as it was starting to get dark out.
Hope this table setting gave you a few ideas for your Halloween fun this year.
Looking forward to the beautiful tables linked for this week’s Tablescape Thursday! (If you enjoyed this post, subscribe for email updates when a new post is up here: Subscribe for post updates.)
