Fun Family Puppies and Spiders Halloween Tablescape

Admittedly, I am on the "I'd rather just skip" it side of celebrating Halloween, this week's tablescape does make me smile. Pat chose one of her favorite Pier 1 "Park Avenue Puppies" accent plates and set the table around that them.




We found the interesting black flatware - "Kaya Black" by Jankng - on eBay
Pat mixed "Lapis" and "Paprika" Fiesta(ware) with the Pier 1 "Park Avenue Puppies" accent plate

Simple, blue goblets from the Dollar Tree add more color

Hand-made napkins in blue and rust are held together by a "doggy collar" napkin ring

Pat found bone-shaped crackers - then decorated the bowls with plastic spiders to continue the theme

Where it came from:
Cobweb Place Mats - from Target years ago
Accent Plates - "Park Avenue Puppies Halloween" from Pier 1 seven years ago
Other Dinnerware - "Lapis" and "Paprika" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's, Kohl's, and Replacements,Ltd.
Black Flatware - "Kaya Black" by Jankng from eBay
Blue Glassware - from the Dollar Tree
Blue and Rust Napkins - Handmade by Pat
Doggy Collar Napkin Rings - from eBay
Spider Webbed Lanterns and Black Wire Tree - from Michael's years ago
Assorted Spiders - from the Dollar Tree

Autumn Family Dinner Tablescape

This week's tablescape features a family-friendly setting using Mikasa's "Kabuki" produced from 1978 thru 1985. Pat paired it with last week's glassware and rust colored accents pulled from the colors on the plates.


Not a pumpkin in sight compared to last week's bold centerpiece.

Flatware is "Wind Song" by Oneida




Pat was going to use amber-colored glasses but switched as she was setting the table saying she liked the look of the green goblets better.

Where it came from:
Rust colored Place Mats and matching Napkins - from Pier 1 several years ago
Dinnerware - "Kabuki" by Mikasa from the Discovery Shop (the Cancer Society's thrift shop) many years ago
Glassware - from the Dollar Tree (sill available)
Flatware - "Wind Song" silverplate by Oneida from eBay
Wooden Candle Holders - from Michael's several years ago
