Halloween is almost upon us! I don't think I have ever done a table quite like this one...this isn't my favorite holiday so I don't have much in the way of Halloween stuff. All in all, it came out pretty cool!
The chargers are large solid black dinner plates that are almost bowl-like. The dinner plate is a creamy white with a patterned border, then the salad plate is one of my everyday black squares, topped with a white dessert plate and finally a black and orange appetizer plate with a spider and web.
Rim shot...
I used black napkins with a pale orange gathered from the center and held with a tarnished silver napkin ring adorned with a spider. I first used a black spider, but it didn't show up very well so I grabbed the orange ones. The flatware is Oneida Afterglow.
I found the very inexpensive Tiara Diamond Point tankards at a local antique store. The little ones are vintage Hazel-Atlas black amethyst juice glasses; gift from my sister, Judy, last year.
The centerpiece started with that white stuff that is supposed to be used for webs, but I didn't read the instructions on how to use it. Unfortunately, I made a mess of it, so I just bunched it up in the middle of the table! I have added a ceramic witch with bad makeup (she also lights up), chunky black candlesticks with orange candles, a couple apothecaries with candy corn, the ever-present mini-white pumpkins, two black raven/crow candles and some plastic spider rings.
The most expensive item on the table are the candles...are they ravens or are they crows? They were about $6 each...which made me flinch when I handed the money to the cashier.
Check out the bad makeup...that is exactly what I would look like, if I were to apply it..LOL!
Thank you for your visit...hope you will return next week. If you leave a comment, I will be sure to visit you, too!

What a cute display! For one who doesn't like Halloween, you sure were able to put together a "frightfully" lovely table.
Great job!

Hi Marigene! Great tablescape. Those spider web plates are adorable. And your candy corn looks beautiful in that container.
Another great table.....the black glasses are my favorite! I don't like candy corn, either....give me anything chocolate! Nice job, Mari.

Love the appetizer plates!

I am not a fan of Halloween but really like your tablescape. love, bbb
I love the top plate that looks like a spider web. Your table makes me think of the old days when I was a child. I love the added candy corn to the apothocaries. That is one of my favorite candies. lol Your table is welcoming in a fun sort of way and ghoulish in another. Way to go!
What a festive tablescape! BOOOOO!
Visiting from Bunny Jean's BUNNY HOP linky party today,
Smiles, Suzanne in NW IL
Thats creepy cool! Love it--great job, very artistic!
For not having much in the way of Halloween decorations, you put together a fab tablescape! Maybe some cheaper candles wrapped in halloween scrapping paper might have worked. I haven't bought candles in so long, $6 is a little bit outrageous! Enjoyed your post!
Visiting from Bunny Jean's.

Hi Marigene, That is a very festive Halloween table!
Those crow candles are cute, and I know what you mean about splurging on them. I want some white owl candles that I visit everytime I go to HomeGoods. Maybe next time...
I have a Kid's Halloween tablescape I will be sharing at Susan's this week ;)
Thanks for joining the party.
xoxo Bunny Jean
Wednesday's Bunny Hop!
This is so adorable. I'm loving those orange and black cob web plates. Not a candy corn lover but it does look nice on display!
Marianne :)
Fun table! Those spider web plates are clever. I love candy corn!

Oh no, not creepy crawly things! ;-) I may have to send my son to your house to help you eat all that candy corn. He loves the stuff!
I love all your glasses. I'm still working on my Halloween table. My little goblets are similary to the diamond point. Hope you can stop by again.
You set a really fun Halloween table! I love those little snack plates and how you carried the spider theme through out! The witch cracks me up, yes bad makeup. Love the apothecary jars with candy corn! I also love the black mugs....very cool!
hugs,
Linda
Festive table, and those spider web plates are fantastic. I love candy corn, especially the colors! Make sure you wrap those beautiful candles, and save them for future years ;o)

Marigene,
Too cute! Those spider web dessert plates are adorable! Beware!!!
Fondly,

Very cute, Marigene! The witch and the plates are great. I love the big jars filled with candy corn too.
This is great Marigene! Your webbing looks plenty creepy to me with all of those spiders crawling out of it! Your spider appetizer plates are great. You did a fabulous Halloween table (even if you don't like Halloween much!) I would be chilled, I mean thrilled, to sit down to this fun table.
Spooky and beauty go together in this tablescape,Marigene. It's adorable! I love all the accessories, so cute!...Christine
Hi Marigene, glad I found your page. Fun table...and I happen to love candy corn.
Looking forward to visiting.
Much love!
I'm with you, Marigene...I don't have that much Halloween stuff because it's not my favorite holiday. You, however, did a great job of creating a table that looks like you like it, especially with the fun dishes!!! That witch is WAY scary!!!!!!!!! That thing would keep me up nights...but that's the idea, right? You nailed it in the spooky department!!!
This is fantastic! Each and every single picture is spooky.Love your delightful Halloween settings...yes, every bit of it. Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
Your table is just adorable. I love those spider plates!!

Come into my web,

Marigene doesn't like Halloween,
It makes me want to cry!
But she loves the color orange,
Or so she tells Kathleen,
A spider webby table,
Just right for Halloween.
Now what would be the perfect meal?
We'll wear our nicest bibs
It's one of Howard's favorites
A big plate of spare ribs! :)
Very cute. I love how you used the apothecary jars...so festive!!

Wednesday's Bunny Hop Party!
Love it all! And I especially like the black tankards and your crows. The crows are fabulous. I bet you will find many ways to use them. Put one on an old stack of books with some vintage binoculars or eyeglasses or old brass desk calendar or old magnifying glass. Thank you for coming by. I have never done the table scapes before and this party and visiting has been so much fun. I see how easy it could be to get hooked on plates. :)
That is the best Halloween spread I've seen!!! I'm going to have to show my kids after naptime!!! LOVE it! Glad you stopped by and said hi...I'll be watching for your updated chandelier!!! Ha Ha. I'm your newest "follower" ~ visit me again soon!!

Looking pretty spooky. Great job!
Marigene, you always have the best tablescapes; and this one definitely does not disappoint! i love it!
YOur table is darling. Love the orange spider web appetizer plates and the orange spiders. Too cute. I haven't done a thing for Halloween since we never have any trick or treaters and the grands live out of state. I only have one tiny ceramic jack o lantern and that's it. I'm enjoying your table scape though. Hugs.
Cute, cute table! Love the BAD make up:) The appy plates are great! Good job and thank so much for stopping by my blog too! XO, Pinky
Thanks so much for coming by to visit my little tablescape today. I love your giant apothecary jars full of candy corn! I am a little bit of a candy corn freak, so those were a favorite of mine on your beautiful table! I love the little web plates, too cute. Thanks again for stopping by. Hopefully I'll see you again next Thursday :-)
Have a wonderful weekend,
Sandra

LOVE the appetizer plates they are perfect for this time of year.
I know, I'm back again! I just wanted to let you know that I will be featuring this post on this week's TTF!
Very spooky table. I don't blame you on the spider webs. I bought some to put in my bushes and just gave up on them because it just looked like a threw a tablecloth on them.
You are just the most clever one, and those accent plates are too cute!
XO,
Sheila
Hi Marigene, Your Halloween table is wonderful. Love the spider web plates and the crow candles. I'll be happy to take the candy corn that some of the others commented they do not like. Take care and thank you for again for voting for me.
Hugs,
Sherry
Thanks for your sweet visit -- how fun that your sweetie is a twin! I have twin uncles and cousins -- they keep popping up here and there in the family.
Wow! What a spooky table scape!!Love it!
Adorable! I love the idea of the candycorn in the glass. I think I will borrow that for next year. BOOtiful!
What a great Halloween tablescape! I know you said the white fluffy stuff in the the centerpiece is supposed to be used for spider webs, but it looks like the witch's cauldron boiled over - very fun and different! Love those crow candles and spider web plates! Happy Halloween! ~ Mary
