Spiders, Spiders Everywhere


Thinking of all my friends on the 

East Coast with love and concern 

as they face the ordeal of Hurricane Sandy.  




A few weeks ago I shared an inspiration table

Weaving a Web of Inspiration.

Click the link above if you missed this charming table.




It inspired me to set a 

table crawling with spiders.




So I could use my own set of these 

darling arachnid plates from Tag.




The inspiration table was set 

with just black and orange details, 

but I wanted to add in a touch of plum.





Instead of a tablecloth, 

I used my favorite ruffled edge woven placemats 

topped with my all time favorite Courtly Check chargers.





The colorful napkins atop 

simple black dinner plates provide a 

 perfect backdrop for the cute plates.





The plates were sold in sets of four ~ 

two with black borders and two with white borders.





A festive headband at each 

place setting adds a touch of whimsy.




Take your choice of the spider's web above, 

this black widow with its pointy hat,





The bug eyed fly, 




Or the masked black cat.




Pick




Your




Favorite




Spot



Around the large wooden 

tray that holds a spooky tree.

Where owls, black cats, 

and witches boots and hats

sway from its branches.




Little munchkins roam below.





Vintage noise makers are at the ready, and


Your very own candy corn 

filled witch shoe party favor awaits.

The idea originated at Skip to My Lou

Weaving a Web of Inspiration



Cuisine Kathleen's mischief makers 

are at it again, stirring up fun around Blogville,

while the Boulah Twins, Beaulah and Zoulah have 

been busy cooking up Halloween treats in the kitchens 

at Purple Chocolate Home and Red Couch Recipes.




These three Kitchen Witches 

flew in to offer up a little tabletop inspiration.




Lean in a little closer, if you dare, 

to hear the details of a spider's lair.
  



While hats float up in midair,




Jack-o-lanterns glow and glare, and




Black cauldrons hold a lion's share.




"Come sit," said the spider,




"I'll weave you a web .   .   .




Of fine silky threads,




And set you a table uniquely spread!"






I often find store displays to be a good source for inspiration.

I snapped photos of this charming table last year.

It enticed me to go home with my own 

set of the spider web tidbit plates by Tag.

(Out of courtesy, always ask permission to take photos of store displays.)




Look for an upcoming post 

that will feature these arachnid plates.
