March of the Witches Tablescape

Talk about nostalgia - Pat pulled out the first set of dinnerware that we ever bought at our local Pier 1 when it opened up several years ago to use on this week's table. We have never used it before so it was about time. (And much to my surprise, I noticed last week that Pier 1 still has the same dish pattern for sale.)

Pat selected "Teal Reactive" dinnerware for the teal rim - it goes perfectly with the "Marching Witches" centerpiece

Flatware is satin finished "Meridian" by Cambridge

Pat said that this pattern reminds her of  "eye of the newt" (one of the ingredients of the witch's brew from Shakespeare's play, "Macbeth.") So does it actually matter that eye of the newt is really mustard seed?????

To coordinated with the matte finish of the flatware, Pat used matte finish black chargers

We found these teal blue goblets at Pier 1 this year - the label says "green" on the box but they do not look very green to me

Naturally Pat had to set the candle holders like they were marching, too. to match the witches - then with luck, she found teal colored candles to go with the witches

The "Marching Witches" centerpiece is from TJMaxx this year

The Depression Ware candle holders look like witches shoes

 The next series of pictures is how the table was actually used - Pat's husband suggested filling the individual covered soup bowls with candy. Much to his dismay, Pat decided on a more healthy soup......

At first, Pat added the covered soup bowls because they went well with the "Marching Witches" figurine - but changed the menu so she could actually use them.
