My famous dishes, gotta love those blue plastic cups! We cooked and cooked and washed dishes till the cows came home...
But Welcome to another Tablescape Tuesday put on by the lovely Susan @ http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/. I love it that you are here to visit! If you wonder if you see some of the same dishes? Yes you probably do! Hahaha, I love to reinvent the tablescape...I have to buy alot of dishes that are similar, we have loads of relatives and the plates match for the most part (big smile)but the people on the left can't see past the 40-50 relatives to see what the table on the right side looks like so I fudge every once in awhile!!!
Anyhoo....I started with black gingham check cotton fabric for the tablecloth,rust dinnerware (Walmart) creamy white salad dishes (from Walmart) orange bowls from Target (on sale after Halloween last year).
These black placemats are actually Christmas placemats on the other side! I was looking for something black and kept folding these and putting them away...and then the Tablescape lightbulb went on!!!! Hahhaaaa
Next thing you know it all came together! Yippeee, now if you could all come over and we could eat, giggle and have hot apple cider as we listen to the coyotes sing Halloween songs!
These candlesticks were hideous blue, I bought on clearance years ago at Ross, spray painted back then when it wasn't even 'cool' yet.
Well I'm ready to eat!!! How about you? My table no longer looks like this (darn) I haven't quite recovered from washing 120 dishes this last week (wink), so I'm off to the couch with a couple of chocolates and a cup of coffee!Blessings,

The first table is usually how it looks at MY house...when all the family comes, we have 17. Lots and Lots of red solo cups and paper plates!! hee hee
I adore your halloween table...it is just precious! I love the fact that we don't have to spend a lot of money to have a great looking table....

Great table. I love the halloween settings. Clearance sales...I need to check that to add some dishes to my new placemats and tablerunner. Go visit my sewing blog and you will see what I just did.
All the elements you've put together for the tablescape work so well together.
Well after feeding all those young men, I guess you do deserve the couch and some chocolates...enjoy!
Absolutely LOVE your table.
