~A Hallow e'en Tablescape~


Although I rarely decorate for Hallow e'en, I put together this tablescape, with a hint or two of Hallow e'en. I'll wear the witch's hat, while greeting the ghosties and goblins Hallow e'en night. The remainder of the vignette will stay as it is, until November 1st.
A close up of the Crow Hollow Bed & Breakfast sign, I purchase from Karen, at My Yellow Farmhouse.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered , weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door.
Only this and nothing more."
~Edgar Allan Poe~
TRICK 'R TREAT!!!

It looks great too. I usually don't put up Halloween decor on the inside either...too much fall stuff, and no room! LOL

I bet you will look really cute in that hat.

I've never seen such an elegant "Halloween" tablescape, Pat.

I love the black and white plates and the pumpkin plates with the green placemats -- it just couldn't be any prettier!

OH my word Pat....that is the prettiest Halloween tablescape I have ever seen!!!! Not too much Halloweenie or too much Fallish..or anything typical...it was just gorgeous and perfect! I loved that little peek of your new dining room color and those prints in the background and those little pumpkin plates were just the neatest things! lol The crow and the signs just topped it off perfectly! And all this time I thought you didn't have a bit of 'country' in you!!! lol lol

Melissa @ The Inspired Room said...

Your table looks fantastic, Pat!

PS. Your link on Mr. Linky isn't working for some reason. I'm not sure where it was supposed to go but it goes to a "this page doesn't exist"...I'll see if I can find the page here and try again...

Happy Monday,
Melissa

Liz said...

I think this is my favorite Halloween inspiration in all blog-land! I love it.

bec4 said...

What a wonderful table--I wished mine looked so good. my family doesn't see the point of stuff on the table, so ii is usually just something small and easily removed Ü.

Kat said...

Pat! I love this tablescape. The dinnerware is perfect too. You have a gift with tables. The mixing and matching you do so effortlessly...I have yet to copy successfully. lol! That crow is wonderful with those black candles.
Spooky chic!

Love that crow on the cancellabra! Was your candellabra already black, or did you paint it? Did it come with the pretty fall leaves on it, or is that something you added? Looks like it was made to have a crow in the center! And I love your pumpkin plates. laurie (bargainhunr on RMS)

Pamela said...

Poe always scared me. Perfect choice.

I wonder if we'll get any t.or t'ers this Halloween. I buy candy that I don't like and then end up having a bunch sitting around because no one comes down our street.

I think I'd like to stop by your house!

Cote de Texas said...

There is so much more to do to make the setting special. I love it and will be using lots of new ides.
