Minimalist Halloween Tablescape


Welcome, glad you stopped by. It is Thursday again and its time to head over to Susan's for Tablescape Thursday. I was feeling in the mood to do a little bit of Halloween on the table. I hate to admit it but I realized there was very little in my stash for a Halloween table. So bear with me while I try to make it look good.


I scored this little HALLOWEEN sign at Walmart the day after last year for a dollar. He is a sparkly guy. I like him.


This is my wacky attempt to see the table from another perspective. Those water goblets have never been in a dishwasher, but you couldn't tell it by looking. Since I don't have a dishwasher, I will just blame the manual washer and photographer who are one in the same, EEK!!!


OOOHHH! Mr. Pumpkin is looking scary as he is flickering away. You can see the sparkles on my little sign now.


Here is a better attempt at another angle. I got lucky. I love Halloween, it's so fun seeing the kids dress up and trick or treat.


More from higher up. I think a black tablecloth would be perfect. I am kicking myself now for not picking one up at Kohl's that would have been perfect. All the standard places for tablescapers to go Kohl's, Gordman's, Bed and Bath, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and Home Goods are all 100 plus miles from here. Not a good time to second guess a purchase!


A shot of the table as a whole.


HHHMMMMM? Did I repeat? That shot looks the same. Oops! Still using the training wheels here, he he he.


I took this from standing on the chair. I should have got the step ladder so I could have got all of it. I am still learning as I go. It is great fun, even when you factor in the disasters, crooked and missing items, smudges and smears. I appreciate all the wonderful comments from all you amazing tablescapers who take time out to stop by. I know there are so many other tables to look at.Going to visit all the tables is the highlight of my Thursday.

If you haven't taken the time make sure you visit as many as you can. Comment and tell all these amazing folks how much you appreciate their time and talent. I know I definitely do! Thank you again Susan, Tablescape Thursday is truly WONDERFUL!

Deb, I'd say you did a great job with your Halloween table! Those placemats are great, and I can see why that sparkly "Halloween" came home with you. And any table that includes candy is appealing to me and my sweet tooth! Thank you for visiting my table this week!

Glad to see you were able to "scare up" some fun things for your Halloween table! I don't have a lot of Halloween stuff in my stash, either, since the children are all ancient now. It's fun to dress up the table, though.

Very nice table. I love the Halloween sign and the place mats too. I am impressed you are starting a business. My husband is pushing me in that direction too. Very inspiring of you to be baker. Best wishes with it.
