Ghosts on a Halloween Tablescape

As soon as I saw this large ghost a few years ago I knew it would be one of my Halloween tablescape themes this year. I bought the orange tablecloth several years ago and it was probably from HomeGoods. It is a nice heavy cotton and I love that it is a true orange color. So often I find primary colors that have been changed to a different shade or tone. I love this traditional strong orange color, especially at Halloween time.

I was looking for a ghost salad plate but I found these ghost bowls at Pottery Barn a few years ago. They are a nice deep heavy ceramic and I like the shape and the face. They would be great for chili or soup.

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. 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 recently on my Schoolhouse Tablescape.

I love this 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.

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 work well with many different color schemes.

These black and white place mats came from our Pier 1 store before it closed a couple of years ago. I like the open weave design that shows a bit of orange too.

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 thought it would be easy to find ghost items for this tablescape but some of it was a challenge. I finally found these wood ghost napkin rings on Poshmark. The polyester black and white ghost napkins came from Amazon.

These cute little crocheted ghosts made me laugh when I first saw them on Etsy. I knew I could use them as place card holders. They are sitting on a black square metal place card holder that I already had. I bought the orange colored paper place cards on Amazon.

The goblet on the left 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 couple years ago. These orange goblets 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. You will probably see these goblets again this Halloween season!

I was browsing Mercari last year when I found this large ghost and I just love it. It was a dirty cream color but Hubby painted it white for me. It is ceramic and heavy! I love the expression and the folds are perfect.

It wouldn’t be Halloween without a few ghosts here and there!
