Hi everybody! I've been absent from blogging for awhile (my explanation is in the post under this one) but I have been lurking on Tablescape Tuesdays @ Between Naps on the Porch for a couple of weeks. Now this is a blog party right up my alley! I don't have the talent that Susan does but w/ y'alls influence & inspiration, one day, maybe...just maybe.
This is a Halloween table I did last year when our grandson Caeden (he's 6) had a sleep-over near Halloween-time.
For dinner, we had "Blood, Eyeballs & Worms". I used Bucatini pasta, added olives to meatballs & used a jarred sauce.
For dessert, because Caeden is a fruit lover, we had pears dipped in white chocolate & then decorated w/ candies to resemble skulls...chocolate chips for eyes, licorice piece for nose & jelly beans for teeth. I placed them on sticks & then embedded them into a juice glass of jelly beans, as a way of presentation.
Caeden soo enjoyed his spooky dinner, even if he did pick the olives out of the meatballs. (I knew he would!)
This is a Halloween table I did last year when our grandson Caeden (he's 6) had a sleep-over near Halloween-time.
I used a glass charger, black plate, then a BOO! print out & then topped that w/ another glass plate. I added a paper Boo napkin to a black & white cloth napkin just to tie into the theme & dress the paper napkin up some.
For the centerpiece, I used a black feather wreath encircling candy suckers under a cloche & then added candy containers w/ "spooky" titles. I got the downloads from MarthaStewart.com. I just printed them out & stuck them on w/ double-sided tape. A few ghosts completed the centerpiece.

Now I'm off to see what fabulous tables y'all have created @ Between Naps on the Porch
Looking forward to meeting everybody & playing w/ y'all on Tuesdays....thanks for the invite!

This was a spooktacular table. I feel sure Caeden and his friends had a blast. Especially liked the way you did the pears. My tree has more this year than I know what do with.
Congrats to Clifton and Stacie on the birth of their first child, Noah Christopher. I will keep your family in my thoughts.

What a cute and creative and spooky and creepy table you set. I bet your grandson loved it! Thanks for the ideas! ~ Robyn PS I read your previous blog and it great to hear that your son is recovering! I can only begin to imagine the pain and suffering that he endured (& you, too). ~ Robyn
Oh I hope my grandchildren don't see this. They might expect me to be as much fun as you are. Cute, cute. laurie (bargainhunr)
