Happy Halloween

I shared with you all last year, that the scary side of Halloween doesn't interest me at all. I like cute, fun, and pretty! So hop on my broom behind me and lets go for a ride around my Halloween tablescape!

I found the black plates this summer at a discount store...very cheap! I always seem to find a great deal on dishes at Mardens in Maine.

My place card holders are made from old door knobs. See how I did it HERE.

This poor little witch was driving her broom a bit too fast! But hey, if you are going to crash, that's a pretty "sweet" place to do it! ;)

Don't you love my new spider pumpkin holder? Gwyneth and I met for lunch at Masstown Market in September and they had three different sizes of these cuties. There was a small one that would have fit the little white jack be little pumpkin in front as well!

The cute little battery operated mini lights are turned on here, but it's hard to tell. They were so pretty later that night!

Wishing everyone a fun, safe Halloween!

If the Broom Fits...Ride it!

But don't fall off and land head first!! ;)

I saw a cupcake like this recently, by Better Homes & Gardens. Such a cute idea. I picked up these cupcake wrappers and black and white straws on clearance this summer at TJ Maxx...before I had even seen the cupcake idea. Yippee... I was prepared. I just needed my daughter to free hand a little witch shoe so I had a template.

I cut the little shoes out of black card stock. (All the money I spent on scrapbooking supplies years ago is still coming in handy!) I heated up the glue gun and dabbed a bit on the end of each straw. Stick on the shoe and voila!!

Watch for my these yummy cupcakes on my Halloween tablescape!

A Tangled Web...

Halloween has never been an "occasion" that I looked forward to. Even as a child I didn't plan my costumes weeks in advance. I frantically found a costume after supper, when it was time to go trick or treating! I think it all started the Halloween that I was old enough to really know what was going on. My parents told me, I spent the whole evening in the bathroom because I was scared to see the trick or treaters when they came to the door!!!

Fast forward...ummm...a few years, and I saw a picture of a table all set for Halloween in purple, green and black. That picture inspired me to have some fun with "pretty" and "cute" Halloween. There's nothing scary on this table!

This candelabra has been in our home for years. I recently spray painted it black. Much better than brass! The three masks I placed in the center are all from the Dollarama!!

When I picked up these place mats this summer on a clearance sale (I believe they were .39) I immediately thought of spider webs! My new little spider plates are so cute. They fit into the color scheme so well. Guess what? They are paper! (shhhhh!!!)

A closeup of the purple, silver and black tablecloth I scrunched up in the center of the table. It has a black tassel on each corner.

These little pantyhose pumpkins are all over blog land this fall. Are they not SWEET!!! I found two different pair of hose on clearance @ Walmart. They are so easily made by dropping a pumpkin down in one leg and tying it off with an elastic. I then cut the excess off and tied a piece of purple tulle around the stem. Just stitch or staple up one end and start again. You can use one leg to cover several of the tiny pumpkins.
