"Caw, Caw" Spread Your Wings For Halloween ~ Halloween Tablescape Blog Hop


"Caw, Caw" Spread Your 
Wings For Halloween

Welcome to our Halloween Tablescape Blog Hop
Thank you to Rita @ Panoply  for  
keeping this group organized and on schedule.
You'll find links to a dozen other posts to inspire
your 2025 Halloween tablescape.

Swoop on down and let's take a 
closer look at this Halloween tablescape.

The lead crow has landed on the perfect pumpkin right in the 
middle of the cutest group of Halloween Trick or Treaters.
Tell me, do you have fond memories of going door to door, dressed
in costume and filling your bag with special treats?

This is one of quickest and easist centerpiece ideas ever.
Simply place a large pumpkin within a bowl, give it a nest of shreded 
paper, tie a bow on the stem, and place it all in the center of a tray.
I added more shreded paper to my tray and then lined up my
Lori Mitchell figures that I've added through the years.  
 
The place settings were quick and easy as well!
I started with Courtly Check placemats topped with a second
placemat that is made from a collection of life like leaves; two 
are this soft green and the other two are colorful fall shades.
 
I layered the pate stacks with Williams Sonoma plaid chargers, 
topped with solid back plates from the Dollar Store,
 and then pumpkin shaped plates from Michael's.

This stack is proof one can easily mix inexpensive 
dishes with finer pieces from the cupboard.
I had actully seen similar MKC pumpkin plates, 
but bought these at Michaels, on sale for 60% off.

Folded checked napkins are from 
Crown Linen Designs.

Baby Boo pumpkins tied with a ribbon were added 
as toppers to bring in some orange accent.  
I used the same Gourmet Settings flatware as on
yesterday's table for Monday Morning Blooms.  
The treble clef motif and the matte black of the handles 
fit right in with the leaf placemats and color scheme.

MKC beaded acorn napkin rings on 
orange napkins offer more autumn details.

Our wedding cryatal, now 50 years old, 
continues to serve us well.
It is Denby, Mirage Brown
made in Denmark.

Across the way are more crows and Halloween
delights displayed on the dining buffet.

I taught young children for 30 years and over those 
years was gifted many fun Halloween pieces.  
I've also added MKC pieces and 
a few pieces of stitch work. 

This counted cross stitch on linen 
was stitched many years ago.

The whimsy of the MKC crows can't 
help but make one smile with delight.

Another super simple and quick idea is 
to add fallen tree twig branches to a pretty vase.
I collect them from my yard, so it costs nothing!

This idea can also serve as a simple centerpiece.
Just pop a gourd into a pretty container, 
and tie a ribbon around the stem.

If you missed my post yesterday for
Monday Morning Blooms 
it also featured crows and a simple idea 
for fresh flowers on the table.

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.
