Wicked Fun: Halloween Tablescape Ideas

I decided to throw my witches hat into the Halloween tablescape ideas ring for the fabulously wicked fun of it.

A trick here and a tweak there got the Halloween creative spirits alive and kicking.

One can of black spray paint and several magnolia leaves and Poof!

I now have a pair of bat wings for the cupcake platter.

The Noritake plates and platter are part of my parents wedding china.

Wedding.

Get it?

The “poisoned” apple is an homage to my favorite fairy tale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

My most memorable Halloween costume is the handmade Snow White full ensem my mother made for me.

There’s not one Halloween that goes by that I don’t think of that costume, or place a red apple on my Halloween table.

Our Halloween pumpkin has its very own Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing going on.

It is an owl on one side, and a sour half moon eyeballing a sweet Halloween cat on the other.

It’s a mad, mad, mad, Mod Podge world.

I do love frogs, and this one has been in our family longer than I have.

A family friend purchased the frog in 1952 while in Tokyo, Japan as a gift for my maternal grandmother.

It’s so ugly that it’s absolutely beautiful.

Caw-Caw-Caw!
