Hey, Pumpkin, What's for Lunch?

Hey there, cute pumpkin!


Join me for lunch and then hop around to see some other fabulous Halloween tables.  Thanks Rita @ Panoply for hosting another fun themed blog party!


The table is set for two, John and I, for an early Halloween lunch:




The Courtly Checked enamel plates are perfect for pasta salad and quick bread:



The MacKenzie-Childs Jug is filled with Apple Cider from Beak & Skiff, our local orchard.  

In the paper flatware pocket are plastic twig forks, knives and spoons and a plastic boney hand (for dessert - Apple Crisp!)


This compote was a prototype that I bought at the M-C outlet, it's a favorite piece and perfect for pasta salads!




The little butter dish is a sample Pheasant Run dish that also came from the M-C Outlet:


Huge lollipops sit in mini pumpkin pails:


I bought these cork backed pumpkin placemats at Home Goods last year:






Here is what I served:



For dessert:

    Your tablesetting is very pretty and quaint, Patti! It certainly is a welcoming site! And your Broccoli and Grape Pasta looks quite delicious! Pinned!

    A totally eye-catching tablescape, Patti. The placemats caught my attention right away with that multi-dimensional appearance in the overhead shot. They look really good with the M-C salad plates on them. Plastic twig flatware - who would've thought?! Love all your M-C elements, and that first photo of the pumpkin on the fluted saucer and candlestick is an amazing angle. Thanks for joining the Halloween fun today!

    Patti, your table is charming! I love all of the MC, especially the orange checked pumpkin. The menu sounds delicious and please pass me a slice of zucchini bread, one of my favorites. It is a pleasure to hop with you!

    Those placemats are fantastic! It is almost a shame to cover them up with place settings, isn't it? All of your MacKenzie Childs collection in black and white is just so perfect for Halloween!

    Patti, it looks like a fun table at which to enjoy a delicious lunch. I have a set of those big pumpkin placemats and enjoy using them. CC looks terrific on them! My mini orange pumpkin is in route. I look forward to adding it to my patch. Envious of your cute Pheasant Run small plate. I have pieces in the PR pattern. It's a favorite! Too bad they didn't produce the plates. I love the wheat with the pumpkins. Happy Halloween Blog Hopping!

    Courtly Check and Pumpkin Love! The plastic skeletal hand is hoot paired with your high-end MKC pieces. Lunch sounds yummy, I’ve made that pasta salad using rotini, it’s always a hit! As always, it’s a treat to join you at the table and hop with you. Happy October🎃

    I love the touches of spooky Halloween (jack o'lanterns and bony flatware) that you've added to a table that could last all October. The graphic black and white checks are perfect sophisticated accents for a Halloween celebration.

    Your table is so cute, Patti. Courtly Check is perfect for Halloween because all you need is a little orange! Your centerpiece is darling! I also like the skeletal flatware and pockets holding them. Your dessert sounds delish! I have not had one thing apple flavored so far this fall, so maybe I should bake your apple crisp recipe. I'm pinning it! Happy Halloween!

    Patti, your collection of MC pieces is always so impressive and I am in love with the pumpkin. I think the Courtly Check is perfect for Halloween! The little flatware pockets are such a fun idea, not to mention the flatware tucked inside! What a lovely autumn menu for you and John to enjoy! The apple crisp looks divine!

    Patti...I always look forward to your blog hop posts because I know I will be seeing a treat with all your MC pieces and this post did not disappoint at all. LOVE it all. I especially appreciate the recipes so thank you for including them. I will be trying each one later on. I also like your "high/low" pieces as it gives off that eclectic vibe. It is always a pleasure to hop with you. Kari
