A Happy Halloween Tablescape

This tablescape is a remake of a Halloween tablescape that I did in 2013 and then again in 2014. It was when I was just starting to tablescape and I didn’t understand the concept of less is more and white space. In the beginning, if it was a Halloween table, I put tons of Halloween items on the table, you really couldn’t see the forest for the trees. And to add insult to injury, the tablecloth I chose for that table was way too busy for this plate stack. I have been wanting to redo this table for years because I did like the plate stack and finally this year I got it done with Hubby’s help. I bought the orange tablecloth several years ago and it was probably from HomeGoods. The black place mats came from Pier 1 several years ago. The two plastic houndstooth patterned square place mats in the center came from Bed, Bath & Beyond several years ago. I like the way they play off the napkins and the black and white plates.

I bought these small Halloween plates several years ago, I can’t remember where but it may have been Ebay. They were made by Omniware and there were four different designs in the set.

I have always liked them because they have such a classic Halloween style.

These salad plates were made by 222 Fifth and the pattern was called Wiccan Lace. I bought them several years ago probably on Ebay. I really like all the Halloween elements that are shown all over the plate.

I bought these plastic orange dinner plates several years ago online at Dillards.com and they were called Summer Oasis Zoie Vintage Dinner Plate. I really like the ruffled lip and rim and I love the fact that they are a true orange color. They are a larger size and could probably be used as a charger too. They are perfect for a Halloween table setting.

This black and white charger is called Miss Blackbirdy, you can see the black bird in the center of the plate. The creator was a Dutch fashion designer and artist, Merel Boars. I am not sure that they are being produced now but you can still find them for sale online on the secondary market I think. The first time I saw them I thought they were amazing and I bought a few pieces at a time over the years until I had sets of various plate sizes. There is also a similar plate but a different design with black on white. I used them on a Valentine’s Day tablescape, you can see it here. The designs on this plate are so unique and there is so much detail, it is really a work of art! I bought them online somewhere but I can’t remember where.

This black flatware is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years and it came from Overstock.com. If you read my blog you saw this flatware on another tablescape also. This is my fourth and final Halloween tablescape this Halloween season and it is the third time that I have used this black flatware.

I bought these black and white print napkins online several years ago but I can’t remember where, it might have been Crate and Barrel. They were made by Waverly. I like the way the design plays with the black and white plate designs. The black marble napkin rings came from Pier 1 right before they closed their stores and then reopened online.

I am using my black house place card holders again on this tablescape. I bought them on Ebay several years ago. At that time they had them at Target, and Hearth and Hand with Magnolia.

These orange goblets were some of the first goblets I bought several years ago, I think I bought them at Ross or T.J. Maxx. I remember thinking that I would probably not use them very much but I have this time of year. Just fyi, in the spring and summer Dollar stores often sell plastic goblets like this design in bright colors. The goblet with the black bowl and clear stem was made by Classic Touch and is called V-Shaped Water Glass, Black With Clear Stem. I bought them at Houzz online a few years ago.

The black and white pumpkin centerpiece came from Grandin Road online a few years ago. The stem was gold but Hubby painted it black for me. I have the pumpkin sitting on a small black glass cake stand to add a bit of height. When I started tablescaping, for a few years, I bought several cake stands of various sizes to use with centerpieces.

I can’t remember where I bought the salt and pepper sets but it was probably online somewhere.

I really like how the black and white elements on the table interact with each other and with the orange elements on this table setting.
