A Vintage Style Halloween Tablescape

I know this is a busy tablescape but I still love it all, it is so rich with color and design. It is just amazing. I have never bought a Spoonflower tablecloth before even though their designs are often wonderful because they are so expensive but when I saw this tablecloth I knew I just had to have it. I actually bought it at Walmart online. There are so many different design elements on it that I can create many different Halloween themed tablescapes over the next few years with it. I just love the vintage feeling it provides.

I knew I needed top plates for the plate stack that had a vintage looking design on them for this tablescape. When I saw these small appetizer or tidbit plates online at Home Depot a few years ago I was so excited! They were made by Certified International and copyrighted by Janelle Penner. There are four different designs in the plate set and I am using the two that have an orange background on them. The others have a black background. I love these plate designs!

With the busy design of the tablecloth and the top plate I wanted the rest of the plate stack to be solid colors to rest the eyes. These black plates are smaller than most of the salad plates that I have used recently on my tablescapes. They are called tidbit plates or appetizer plates (like the vintage looking plates I described above). These plates were made by 10 Strawberry Street and the pattern was called Classic Black Porcelain. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago. If you read my blog you saw them on my Ghost Halloween Tablescape a few years ago.

I love this melamine orange dinner plate, the vivid orange color, the ruffles on the lip, and the heavy melamine design all make it a perfect plate for Halloween. I bought them several years ago online at Dillards.com and they were called Summer Oasis Zoie Vintage Dinner Plate. If you read my blog you have seen it before on my other Halloween tablescapes. I have a couple other orange dinner plates but I tend to grab these when I need one for a Halloween tablescape.

These black glass Starburst chargers are called Charge It and they were made by Jay. I bought them several years ago on Amazon. They are heavy glass and I tend to grab them too when I am working on a Halloween table setting.

I bought these black placemats at Pier 1 several years ago.

This black stainless flatware set is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had it for years, I’m not sure where I bought it. You can still find it for sale online. It gets a lot of use this time of year. I love seeing the tablecloth up close in all these photos, so much wonderful detail.

I have some black napkins but I wanted some new ones that hadn’t faded out. I found these at Crate and Barrela few years ago. These wonderful vintage looking Legigo napkin rings came from Amazon a few years ago. When I saw them I immediately knew that they would be a perfect match for the tablecloth and top plates.

I can’t remember where I bought these small black lantern tea light holders. I have had them for a few years. I found the orange tea lights on Amazon. I like the way it all looks on this tablecloth.

I found this salt and pepper set a few years ago at Roger’s Gardens, a nursery and gift shop in the next County. I knew the set would match this tablecloth well.

I have had this salt and pepper set for a few years and I can’t remember where I found it.

These orange goblets on the left were some of the first goblets I bought many 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 sure 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 on the right with the black bowl and clear stem was made by Classic Touch and it is called V-Shaped Water Glass, Black With Clear Stem. I bought them at Houzz online a few years ago.

After I found the tablecloth, I started thinking about and planning this tablescape, and I knew the centerpiece had to have a vintage feel to it. I looked and looked online and I finally found this jack o’lantern blowmold on Mercari online a few years ago. I can’t believe I found such a perfect centerpiece for this tablescape. It was meant to be! I’m not sure how old it is but it sure looks vintage. I have had really good luck finding unusual things on Mercari. I wanted it to be a bit taller so I set it on a small black glass cake stand I had. I think I found the cake stand at HomeGoods several years ago.

Happy Halloween Season!
