Stripes and Polka Dots on a Halloween Tablescape
This Halloween tablescape might become a favorite. I love all the different black and white and orange stripes and polka dot patterns. The tablecloth was made by Cynthia Rowley and the label says Curious. I found it at HomeGoods a few weeks ago. I bought the matching napkins too but I decided to use black napkins on this table for contrast.
These orange polka dot salad plates were made by Maxwell Williams and the pattern was called Sprinkle. I have had them for several years and I can’t remember where I found them. I really love these plates, they look so cheerful. I wanted to add something more and I remembered that I had small black and white pumpkins so I added one to each place setting. They could be a party favor. I can’t remember where I bought them a few years ago but it might have been Target.
These black and white checked stoneware dinner plates are another favorite of mine. They were made by Royal Stafford, and the label says Painterly Affects, Chequers. They were made in England. I bought them a few at a time as I found them on Ebay several years ago. I bought the salad plates too.
These black glass Starburst chargers are called Charge It and they were made by Jay. I bought them several years ago on Amazon. They are heavy glass and work well with many different color schemes. If you read my blog you saw them on my Halloween Ghost Tablescape. If you compare these two tablescapes you can see how I reuse some of the same items on different themed tablescapes.
I think I bought the black polyester napkins on Amazon several years ago. The only thing I don’t like about polyester napkins is the fact that they are really slippery when stored stacked on top of each other. Cotton works much better. I found the black and white polka dot napkin rings on Ebay a few months ago.
The black flatware is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had it for years but it is still for sale. Not sure where I bought it. I have it in a few other colors as well. It is often in use on tablescapes at Halloween time.
I found these small black metal place card holders online at CB2. They work as stand alone place card holders and also as stands for other place card holders and small items. I have used them as both.
The orange goblet on the left was one of the first goblets I bought many years ago, I think I bought them at Ross or T.J. Maxx. I remember thinking that I would probably not use them very much but I sure do this time of year. Just fyi, in the spring and summer dollar stores often sell plastic goblets like this design in bright colors. You will probably see these goblets again this Halloween season. The goblet on the right with the black bowl and clear stem was made by Classic Touch and it is called V-Shaped Water Glass, Black With Clear Stem. I bought them at Houzz online a couple years ago.
The black and white striped pumpkin centerpiece came from Grandin Road online a few years ago. The stem was gold but Hubby painted it black for me. I have several pumpkins like this with different patterns in black and white and black and orange and they all came from Grandin Road. The pumpkin is sitting on a wood stand that I bought at Pier 1 last year. It was a natural wood color but Hubby painted it white for me to use on a Beach tablescape and then black for a couple Halloween tables last year.
I found the two striped covered pumpkin bowls at HomeGoods a few weeks ago. They were made by 10 Strawberry Street and the labels say Whimsical Cupboard.
Lots of black and white stripes and orange polka dots for Halloween!
