Black, White and BOO Table Setting and Blog Hop



Rita, from Panoply,  is hosting a Halloween Tablescape Blog Hop!


Here is my simple table....



....a table set for two...


...in my dining room...


...a centerpiece of skeleton keys dangling from a tree with a crow atop:


Ghost tins pails hold harlequin flatware and another ghost is ready for a cookie dessert:



Mice are waiting for a little sip of water:


The crow is waiting for a little bite of food:


Lunch will be chicken salad tea sandwiches and fresh fruit!


The side buffet holds a witch and a few pumpkins:


Scaredy cats also have their eyes on the table, waiting for a treat:


The chairs are covered in stripes for the season:


Black, White and BOO:



Where did I find it all?
Mackenzie-Childs Courtly Check dinner plates
 Ghost plates from Walmart
 Harlequin flatware from Wegman's
MacKenzie-Childs goblets
Cookies from Target
Ghost tins from The Christmas Tree Shop
Black tree from Khol's



Ready for lunch!


Have a Happy Halloween!


I am glad I am not the only 'witch' who lives here!



Enjoy this seasonal cocktail:

  1. Patti I love your happy ghosts. I am a Casper the friendly ghost kind of person and your table is delightful. Your M-C pieces are perfect and your witch has a nice smile amongst your creepy crawly mice and crows. It is a pleasure to have you 'hopping' with us this year.

  2. The ghost plates are adorable....I love their happy expressions on their little faces! They pair perfectly with the Courtly Check chargers. It's fun seeing the details in your dining room, too, like the pretty switch plate cover.

    I really like the black and white theme, Patti, and the cookies are perfect, too. Your menu sounds delicious! :D

  4. Patti, your table for two is so cute. I do love the ghost plates paired with MKC CC dinner plates. The witch on the sideboard appears to be nice and not wicked.

  7. Patti, your tablescape is so adorable. It is whimsical and fun. I love how you used the black and white patterns to set your table. The harlequin flatware is so unique. The little ghosts make me smile and give such a friendly greeting. The caramel cider martini looks so yummy. The witch and b/w pumpkins are your side time really make a great statement along with the striped chair covers. It all announces fun Halloween festivities.

  11. Patti, love your cute and boo-it-ful table. Those ghost shape bowls/plates are darling! Black is a key neutral color in my interior decorating and accents that started with a grand piano and went from there lol! So, I adore anything MC and your special pieces. Would love to score harlequin flatware like yours! So nice to have you join us there year.

  12. Ha! I have that drink EVERY year!!! Just made one over the weekend, in fact! I put an orange slice or a splash of orange juice in with it to make it extra fancy, but I like the idea of the caramel rim. Mmmmmmm!!! That's the stuff right there!!! I see our favorite chair covers have come out to play! I've been angling for a tablescape to use mine again, but nothing has come up just yet. I still love them as much as when I first got them!Yours go great with this table setting in black and white! I really like the idea of the "skeleton keys" hanging on the tree. Skeletons☠/Skeleton keys. Very clever! That witch would have to GO at my house. NO woman with a waistline smaller than mine is welcome here!😂😂😂 Nicely done, Patti! Have a great week!!!!!!!

  14. Patti, I love your black and white check theme for Halloween. Even the flatware has checks! Your table for two looks cozy and whimsical. The cocktail sounds divine and perfect for the season. It was nice to "meet" you! I'm so glad you joined us on the hop :)

  15. I had to chuckle at ‘I’m glad I am not the only witch who lives here’ :) I’d love a cocktail and your ghost pails, plates and cookies are darling mixed with your Courtly Check accessories! Love those chair covers too! Happy Haunting!

  17. Patti, tres chic in the black, white & boo(ze)! That looks really sharp. Those little cookies are so cute, and the mouse totally creepy in a good way. Love the tree with crow. I could use a stiff drink. Oh wait, it's just a little past 7....in the morning. 🤣 Happy to have you as another witch among my coven on this hop, cheers!
