I received two things for my birthday that warranted my doing a
rather spooky table for Halloween; one was an adorable frog pitcher that I got
from my aunt, the second was the absolutely glorious bouquet of flowers that I
got from an admirer.
In my search for a suitably spooky vase to use for the flowers (instead of the
glass vase in which they came) I found this Skeleton cookie jar that I believe
I got from Pier One six or seven years ago. It worked perfectly!
A velvety black tablecloth seemed appropriate here, and because I wanted to use a witch image, I thought pops of green called for employing the use of both green placemats and green napkins that were simply knotted and set to the side of the plate.
I used tin chargers that I got from a local shop, square black
plates, and topped the black plates with a witch image that I found online, enlarged,
cut out, thought suitably spooky, and set beneath small Duralex
dinner plates. I love those plates;
you can make a table any theme by simply placing a printed design beneath the
glass. 
Mikasa
‘Opulent’ hammered flatware, gave it a bit of
sparkle, as well as the wonderful vintage wine glasses with the raven stem.
I added a bit of whimsy by placing a sugar skull into the soup
spoon. You can easily make these yourself using this
mold.
Green water glasses were just the ticket here as well as deep green
taper candles in wrought iron candleholders. I
think I’m ready for Halloween.
