A Spiderific Halloween Tablescape

When I look at this completed tablescape I must admit that I shudder a tiny bit. Spiders are not my friends, to say the least. I did two black spider tablescapes before, one three years ago, and one five years ago, but each one is different. I also did a couple of black widow spider themed tablescapes during the past several years. I found this black spider tablecloth while looking through Spoonflower online when they were having a sale several weeks ago. When I saw this tablecloth I knew it matched my black metal spiders that I have been wanting to use again so another spider tablescape was born.

I found these black and white spiderweb and spider salad plates at Michaels online last month. They are labeled Celebrate it.

This black dinner plate was made by Waechtersbach and it was called Fun Factory. This black dinner plate was one of the first plates that I bought when I started tablescaping and I use it often. Dinner plates in basic colors should be some of your first purchases if you want to start tablescaping. It probably came from HomeGoods many years ago.

This orange glass charger was made by Bormioli Rocco and I think the pattern was called Inca. It is good quality and a heavy glass. I have bought it in a few other colors as well over the years. I found them on Amazon several years ago. I have learned to add a placemat with the same color under these chargers if possible because whatever they are sitting on shows through the glass.

The orange placemat provides a great backdrop for the orange glass. They probably came from Pier 1 before our store closed a few years ago.

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 a few 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 bright orange cotton napkins probably came from HomeGoods or Pier 1 several years ago. The black metal spiderweb napkin rings came from Amazon a few years ago. I really like their simple yet bold design. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.

I have had these black spiderweb place card holders for several years, I bought them at Williams Sonoma. To read about the what, where and how of place card holders, please click here.

This combination of goblets often appears on my Halloween tablescapes. The 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 do this time of year. Just fyi, in the spring and summer dollar stores often sell plastic goblets like this design in bright colors. I have black goblets that are shorter than this black goblet and black goblets that are much taller than this goblet but I wanted goblets this height. I was delighted to find these black plastic ones on Amazon a few years ago. It said that they are disposable but I am keeping them for a while until I can find some black glass ones that are the same height. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets (including the colors that I use the most often) for your tablescaping collection here.

These three black metal spiders came from Olive and Cocoa online several years ago. As soon as I saw them, I knew that I could use them on many Halloween table settings and I have. I really like their bold and simple design.

This is the Spider tablescape that I did three years ago. You can read about it here.

I did this Spider tablescape five years ago. You can read about it here.

This tablescape is about the only place that I want to see spiders in my house!
