Creepy, Crawly, Spooky Table





Hello, my lovelies.  

Welcome, I've been waiting for you.





The crows are gathering,

 a sure sign that the sun is setting

 and the darkness of night draws near.





What's that lurking up above?




Even the crows seem on alert.   .   .





Calling the alarm!




It's the red eyed black viper!




And other creepy, crawly things.

E~E~E~K!




Dozens of spiders dangle and crawl about.





Creeping, crawling everywhere.





Spinning webs of fine black silk.   .   .





Waiting to capture their prey.




Old friends are here to greet you.





Pull up a chair and take a seat.




You can dine with Rex.   .   .




Or perhaps you'd 

rather feast with Leo.





Be cautious about what you say.




Phantoms are up above listening.





Eager to report your 

comings and goings.




To those who want to know.




Especially the Black Widow Lady!

Credit for this incredibly creative table

goes to my sweet friend, Rebecca.


Last week while visiting friends in San Antonio, 


Rebecca graciously allowed me to photograph 


her spooky tablescape to share here on HFTS.


Thank you, Rebecca!

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.

  2. Love it all, especially that first photo! I have GOT to ask, though: Where does your friend store all that stuff after Halloween!? She must have the largest attic this side of the Atlantic Ocean! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
