A Happy Meowloween Tablescape for Halloween

Cats on the table! I did this tablescape several years ago for Halloween and decided to set it again. You can see some duplication from the Halloween Skull Tablescape that I did. I used some of the same elements. The tablecloth came from Amazon and I bought the place mats at Pier 1 before our store closed.

I am a cat lover so I was thinking about a cat themed table for a while. I found this set of Halloween themed appetizer plates a few years ago on Ebay and a cat was included in the set so that plate determined the color scheme.

These appetizer plates were made by 222 Fifth and the pattern is called Wiccan Lace. The set came with a cat, a witch, a skull, and a haunted house. You can still find them for sale online. I love all the small details you can see in the design when you look at it closely.

The salad plate comes from the same maker, 222 Fifth, and is also part of the Wiccan Lace set. Love the all over detailed design!

The black dinner plate was made by Waechtersbach and is called Fun Factory. A black dinner plate was one of the first plates I bought when I started tablescaping and I use it often.

The black glass Starburst charger is called Charge It and was made by Jay. I bought them several years ago on Amazon. They are heavy glass and work well with many different color schemes.

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 bought these black goblets on the right on Ebay and they were one of the first sets that I bought several years ago. They are Lenox Midnight Mood black glass water goblets and they were made between 1974 and 1982. They are 7 1/4 inches tall. When I started buying goblets I didn’t pay attention to the height but now I like to buy goblets that are at least about 8 inches tall because my table is large and I think they show better. The clear fluted goblet with the black stem on the left is called Octime and and the manufacturer was Luminarc Arcoroc. They were made in the 1980’s. I bought them on Ebay also.

I had someone on Etsy make the black cat napkins and I found the metal black cat napkin rings there as well.

I really liked the cat napkin rings so when I needed witch napkin rings I had that seller make me a set of them as well that I used on my Best Witches tablescape.

The black cat place card holders are magnetic and I found them on Etsy too.

I found the three black cats in the centerpiece at HomeGoods on different trips there. I love this shiny one, it was the perfect size for the table.

Can’t remember where I found the small pumpkins.

I found the magnetic cat salt and pepper set on Amazon.

I found the large black and white pumpkins online at Grandin Road. The Beware sign in the background came from Grandin Road also.

The only problem with this centerpiece design, it all takes up a lot of storage space!

I’m done with black and white, next week’s table will have more color!

A Definite Skullduggery Tablescape for Halloween

Another Halloween themed table, this one I did several years ago. During Halloween season it is easy to find lots of skulls in all shapes, sizes, and materials. I just scattered some skulls along the center of the table and wound a couple of my scarves through them for some added detail.

I found the skull plates on Ebay several years ago. They were made by the 222 Fifth Company and there are four different designs in the set.

I bought the black glass plates somewhere while we were on vacation several years ago but I can’t remember where. They are made by Luminarc France. They were really cheap so I bought white ones as well.

I bought this square glass plate with a black lace design online somewhere several years ago but I can’t remember where.

This large square white plate was made by 10 Strawberry Street. A large square plate like this is a great starter plate if you want to begin to do tablescaping. You can use it as a charger or a dinner plate. I have large square plates in black and brown also and I use them often. The black and brown ones are actually some kind of plastic material. I am amazed at all the great quality plastic plates that are available now.

The black flatware is Ginkgo LePrix, it’s one of the cheaper sets available. I bought the white tablecloth on Amazon and the black and white plastic tweed place mats came from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. The black napkins came from Pier 1 probably. I bought the black and white napkins online but I can’t remember where, it might have been Crate and Barrel. I am surprised at how often I use them, they seem to go well with lots of different table designs. The black napkin rings came from Pier 1.

I bought the tall black and white goblets on sale at Z Gallerie several years ago. They are the tallest goblets I have in my goblet collection. I found the small silver skull salt and pepper set at HomeGoods.

The skull place card holder came from Grandin Road online several years ago. Their Halloween catalog and collections are amazing every year!

I bought the tall black pillar candle holders online at Grandin Road a few years ago. The skull candle came from Etsy.

This is probably my favorite skull on the whole table. It is a candle (but I would never light it!). I bought it at Z Gallerie online a few years ago.

Hmm, maybe we should have Ribs for dinner!

Is It Time for Soup? Set A Fall Tablescape

There is something about an orange and green color combination this time of year. It really puts me in the mood for fall and the foods we love in the fall. How I love these soup tureens, large and small! I love the shape and the curved lines design. I decided to set a table without a tablecloth so the wood would show for once. It is usually covered up. Our dining room furniture was made by Stickley. The green place mats came from Pier 1 several years ago, they had this place mat in many different colors and I bought several of them.

I bought the pumpkin plates and soup tureens at Pier 1 several years ago and they are some of my favorite dishes.

They are a nice size for some hearty soup or a bowl of chili.

If you aren’t serving soup, the pumpkin plates are fun and really make a statement by themselves.

The dinner plate also came from Pier 1 several years ago. It was part of their Spice Route collection and the color was called Clove. I use this plate often in the fall.

These rattan chargers were among some of the first tablescape items I bought several years ago. I think I bought them at World Market but if you google rattan charger you can find them several places.

The green plastic goblet came from Pier 1 several years ago. Can’t remember where I bought the amber glass goblets, if anyone recognizes the pattern, please let me know.

The flatware is Madeline Green flatware and I bought it at World Market some years ago. I use this flatware often this time of year.

I think the napkin rings came from Pier 1 several years ago. I bought the plaid napkins there or at HomeGoods. I wanted a bit more color and pattern on this table and these napkins work well with the greens and oranges.

I love these little pumpkin place card holders. I have had them for a while. They came from Crate and Barrel a few years ago.

The large pumpkin soup tureen and pumpkin platter provide an easy solution for the centerpiece on this table.

It’s fairly easy to find small salt and pepper sets. I have had this set for a long time, I can’t remember where they came from.

Here are the same dishes in a table setting from several years ago with a very different feel. A busy tablecloth and a few other different pieces really make a difference. I think I like the setting from this year better.

Time to find some delicious soup recipes!

A Mountain Cabin Table with Pine Cones

Decided to set a nice table while we are on vacation at our cabin. When we furnished the cabin, the theme was pine cones and green and brown. I had fun finding dishes and other items that matched the decorating scheme.

I searched for pine cone plates and finally found these and I love the pine cone design. They are handmade by Emerson Creek Pottery in Bedford, Virginia. They aren’t cheap but I have learned from experience that you get what you pay for and I wanted good quality that would last. Can’t remember where I found the brown place mats.

Emerson Creek Pottery has several plate designs that I really like.

I also bought some small mugs and bowls.

I just wanted a plain design for the stainless flatware and I found these at HomeGoods. The pattern is Cantera and it is made by Lenox. It is 18/10 stainless so it is really good quality flatware.

I wanted brown glassware and I found these iced teas after looking for a while. They were made by the Libbey Glass Company, the Duratuff Collection, and the pattern is called Gibraltar.

I also bought some regular glasses that I wrote about in another blog post. That post is on my blog under the subject Travel. I found these glasses online at Black Forest Decor.

The brown napkins came from Sur la Table and I bought the pine cone napkin rings online at Black Forest Decor.

I brought this low green bowl from home when we were furnishing the cabin, it isn’t marked. I bought it several years ago when I was collecting pottery. Hubby gathered some pine cones for me for the centerpiece.

I use these braided jute trivets as place mats sometimes. They came from Black Forest Decor online too.

We enjoy having meals at our pine cone themed table!
