Halloween is just weeks away.
A big thank you to our leader and hostess,
We have 12 tabletop stylists joining the hop today, with a void of missing our friend, Mary, who so loved Halloween.
Links are at the bottom of this post.
and they are the inspiration for my whimsical setting.
I've recently been inviting friends over for lunch on occasion to enjoy quiet conversation and catch up on daily life.
Rather than setting the table, I've been serving a light lunch
on individual trays so we can enjoy lunch out on the sun porch.
border with more "Too Cute to Spook" figures. I love the muted stripe background and that each end has this same cute border.
Years ago, the Quimper factory FAB in Quimper, France, created a pair of Halloween plates with whimsical witches.
This one with a jack-o-lantern border.
straw toppers from the $ bin at Target.
sweet orange soda.
with simple pewter napkin rings and mother-of-pearl flatware.

Or a candy corn creature?

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.

Welcome, I'm Sarah
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. We continue to cherish the extras of life as food for our souls.

Sarah, your touches of whimsy are absolutely darling for this Halloween hop! I enjoyed the first photo with the macro views! I was able to enlarge and see all the details, many of which you didn't even mention! I adore the dish towels as chair covers, they caught my eye immediately! The MC crows are my elusive got aways, and nearly impossible to find. But for.me, the creme de la creme are the Quimper specialty plates, oh my! I don't remember ever seeing those and they are spectacular! A table for lunch to share life happenings with a friend is quite special. I will choose the doggie ghost cookie, in honor of Mary. How sweet it is to mention Chloe and Gracie waiting to geeet her. Her passing is a huge loss for us all, but nothing compared to David's loss. May she rest in everlasting peace. 💔
ReplyDeleteVery cute
ReplyDeleteHow darling! This is my kind of Halloween table. I am all for cute and adorable at Halloween.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Fall season my friend!
Sarah I always look for your MKC and you did not disappoint! I love the limited ginger check especially with the doggie cookie. How adorable is that. I choose that cookie tho the candy corn one makes me want candy corn too. At first I thought the doggy cookie was a sandwich and I was imagining how you cut the bread slice to look so darn cute. 🥴 It is good that you are having luncheons to 'catch-up' on news etc. Don't ever give up on your friends...we all go through periods when we really need our friends. God gave them as a gift to us. Of course this makes me think of our dear Mary...she will be so missed not only by us, her blogging friends, but by David and her family. It was such a shock to hear of her passing so quickly. We will miss her wonderful comments on our tables and her constant inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHave a great and wonderful week...Before we know it..The Holidays will be upon us. 🍁🍂🌻🏈💕
Kari @ Me and My Captain
Sarah, your table is so cute and colorful and I know Mary would appreciate the kind thoughts as well as your lovely table styling skills. She will be greatly missed. <3
ReplyDeleteThis table is adorable! I find the room as interesting as the table and I enlarged pictures so I could see all of the details. Truly beautiful. What I was astounded to learn was that Quimper made Halloween plates. I have long been a fan of their other plates, but I need to do some investigating here.
ReplyDeleteSarah your table is table with so many cute whimsical details. Love the darling cookies. I prefer the doggie one. The doggie towels make the sweetest chair covers. With MC great vase and crows, this is lovely. I love the idea of serving your plate stack on trays in your sunroom. I am so happy you are entertaining friends. You find the cutesy accessories too. Always a pleasure hopping along with you dear Sarah.
