Halloween Pirate Days Tablescape

Four or five years ago, a lot of tablescapers were using "skull" plates for Halloween. We just left ours on the shelf  "for later." Well, later is finally here - Pat pulled out the plates and set the table in a pirate theme for Halloween.
The tablecloth (made from specialty fabric from JoAnn's Fabrics)  was the inspiration for the table design.




Flatware is "Meridian Satin" by Cambridge




For the first of two chargers, Pat used "Chinese Red" lacquer chargers that matched the red on the tablecloth

Pat wrapped the napkin around the charger so that it wouldn't be in the way


Pat first tried black tumblers but decided on stemmed goblets



Pat loaded the "treasure chest" with lots of jewelry and gold chains

    Oh, what fun! My Dad would have loved this table, his name was Roger and he always "claimed" the Jolly Roger theme. I love the candleabra with the black candles, and the treasure chest overflowing with "jewels". As usual, every detail is perfect. Happy Halloween!
