the spooky season is upon us so i set the table accordingly.
i used lots of birds, skulls and pumpkins.
the color scheme is pretty monochromatic, which i tend to lean towards automatically.
i draped some of my regular chargers with creepy cloth i picked up at the dollar store. one cloth can cover 8 chargers, which is a pretty good value.
i picked up the ravens at each place setting at the dollar tree as well.
i actually had the whole table set without the centerpiece since i didn't use any of my halloween stash for the place settings.
...then i bought down all the halloween bins from the attic and started opening them and whatever struck my fancy for the table i placed in the middle.
i placed something and added something else and moved something over, etc.
...until you get the right composition; you all know the drill.
i didn't have anything planned for for the centerpiece so i am glad how it all came together.
what i did have planned was black taper candles and of course i waited until the last minute and there were none to be found so i ended up improvising with white candles.
a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do {the show must go on} so i wrapped some book print around each taper and tied it with pieces of the creepy cloth. done!
looks like we have an early dinner guest and he looks pretty hungry {wink}.
bone appetite!

What clever ideas - you are so talented. Pat just called me to check out the chargers but she didn't mention the really neat candles. I gotta call her back to make sure she sees the "entire" table. It is fabulous!
