Witches' Night Out


As the sun hangs low the witches begin to gather.



There're flying in from all around, with faithful black cats along side.



Mr. Scarecrow welcomes the lively group . . .




Offering bits of cheese with fresh picked figs.



A spooky tree centers the evening table.



As each witch cat finds a spot among the bare branches.



Each will hover above their witch who dines below.



Shiny black dinnerware sets the stage.



Soup bowls filled with pumpkins soon will hold the cauldron soup.



Mini Jacks light the way . . .



With cones to mark each witch's spot.



A simple meal of salad and soup is the dining wish for Witch Night Out.



Ghouls and goblins watch with delight as witches gather to fill their plates.



At dinner's end the sweet course begins . . .



Chocolate delights with a touch of fright!



And a scoop of corn for the return flight.



A pail of treats for each as they fly off into the night.



Traveling safely home by the light of the moon.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

  3. I would easily be able to say that my favorite part is the little bowls on each plate with the pumpkin IF I didn't like those little place card holders just as much. Actually, the whole table is just so pretty. It's DIFFERENT too!

    And I really love that scarecrow. I love scarecrows!

  6. Wow! Sarah, I'm amazed at your table, and look at that Quimper plate! Where on earth did you find that? You are something else!

    I love all the attention you pay to every single detail. You are my hero!

    I am a bit embarassed as I posted a pink table this week. Then again, pink is for breast cancer awareness, so I guess it works after all, huh?

    Happy Tablescape Thursday..

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  11. I can tell you love the witches as much as I do. Loved your last post too. This table is so cute, that tree centerpiece is wonderful and where did you get the cute place card holders?

    The booted witch cake platters came from TJ Maxx/Home Goods. They don't have any left but will probably get some again next year. You have to get to the store around the end of August - Labor Day weekend. I just hot glued 3 varying sizes together so they didn't tip. You can also get online and google or search on ebay for footed Halloween Cake Platter. I found some more expensive ones that way. These were all about $19 apiece. Good luck. It is a hit with everyone that walks in the house.

  16. Dear Sarah,
    this is tablescape full of humor and nice things. Love how you told the story with this wonderfull pictues. I wonder if the witch plate is Quimper or not. Could be, but they have no Halloween. Anyway it looks nice and I guess, it's just your style. I love all cats and so I love your cat dekorations, too. Cute! Thank you for sharing this nice story and I enjoyed my dinner with you very much. My flight home was a good one!
    Sarah, I start a new blog event, baking christmas cookies, at 3. Nov. 2010. Would love if you partcipate.
    Greetings, Johanna

  24. Wonderful setting, wonderful scenes! You have indeed set the perfect witches' night out supper table. . . and I would love to be there to share those sweet goodies.

    I love how you put candy corn in the sugar shovel thing --or whatever it is called. I have one in pewter, and my little mind is storing up this bit of sweetness for our own Halloween gathering.

    Lovely and sweet! Great fun, thanks!
