Jack-o'-lanterns on a Halloween Tablescape

I just love this tablecloth for this tablescape, I love it! This was a case of buying the tablecloth after I had decided on everything else, something I never do. I usually have a tablecloth in mind at the beginning of my planning. I knew that I needed a more rust colored orange on the tablecloth to match the rust colored orange on the centerpiece and jack-o’-lantern goblets and after checking (once my tablescape planning was way down the line already) all my Halloween tablecloths were a brighter orange and wouldn’t work. Panic! So I checked all my usual tablecloth sources online and found this one on Amazon. It is made by Ambesonne and they call it Ambesonne Rustic Tablecloth, Vertical Wooden Planks. Such a perfect background for a Halloween tablescape, I know I will use it again and again. I couldn’t believe my luck! Sometimes I see something and I can just visualize how it might look with other elements on a tablescape.

I found these ceramic jack o’ lantern salad plates at Pottery Barn several years ago. I had been looking for a simple jack o’ lantern plate for a couple of years and I was so happy to find this one. If you google jack-o’-lantern salad plate you might find something similar.

This black porcelain dinner plate was made by 10 Strawberry Street. I love having basic color dinner plates that I can use over and over again when I need them on a plate stack. The pattern was called Black Classic Porcelain. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.

This black plastic acrylic charger came from tableclothsFACTORY online last year. I was happy with the relatively inexpensive price for six chargers. A basic black charger is always a good purchase when you are starting a tablescaping collection. To read about what you should be considering when you are buying chargers, please click here.

I wanted another set of black flatware that was all black and different from my Ginkgo International LePrix black set to use on my Halloween tablescapes and I found this set two years ago on sale at Macy’s online. It was made by Lenox and the pattern is called Portola. I love the simple design and shiny black color. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

These black cotton napkins came from Crate and Barrel a few years ago. They are a really nice study cotton fabric in a true black color. The ceramic jack-o’-lantern napkin rings came from Ebay a few years ago. I really like jack-o’-lanterns with friendly facial expressions.

I found these Department 56 Mercury Glass Jack-o’-lantern place card holders on Ebay a few years ago. I love place card holders, they can add such a fun element to a themed tablescape. To read about the what, where and how of place card holders, please click here.

I bought these black goblets on Ebay several years ago, they were some of the first goblets that I bought for my tablescaping collection. They are Lenox Midnight Mood black glass water goblets and they were made between 1974 and 1982. They are shorter than I usually like to use, I like taller goblets, but I wanted the height to be closer to the other goblet. These wonderful jack-o’-lantern goblets were designed by Johanna Parker and are also labeled Transpac, Every Day is a Holiday. You can find them online with a google search at several different places. It looks like there were two different goblet face designs. I bought them a few at a time online wherever I could find them for a good price several months ago.

You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets (including the colors I use the most often) for your tablescaping collection here.

This Johanna Parker cookie jar design matches the goblets. I set it on a small black cake stand that I found at HomeGoods last year. Now I can’t remember where I bought the cookie jar (it might have been Ebay) online but a google search will turn up several sources. I really love many of Johanna Parker’s designs and this jack-o’-lantern design is one of my favorites.

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

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 this Johanna Parker design would match the goblets and centerpiece on this Halloween tablescape.

I love creating Halloween Tablescapes especially when Johanna Parker designs are involved.
