Halloween Tablescape

Susan at Between Naps on the Porch hosts Tablescape Thursday. Click her badge on my sidebar to see other tablescapes.

I purchased the tablecloth, basket for the centerpiece, table runner (which is bunched up under the centerpiece), the plates and the goblets at thrift stores.

The basket is layered with raffia, beaded gourds, dried corn and silk maple leaves. I love the ghost candles. I don't know how much longer they will last since I do burn them when we eat.

Look at that comical paper cat looking on.

The candlesticks were my mothers. I spray painted them black and wiped off the high points so the silver shows through. That jack-o-lantern is a napkin ring I slipped down over the candle. There is a ghost napkin ring on the other candle. The little ghost figurine is a favor from a banquet I attended.

The ceramic pumpkins were my mother's. The individual little pumpkin soup toureens were hand-made (not by me) in a ceramic workshop.
