The plates were in four spooky designs. Witches, and bats, and ghosts and skeletons - oh my!
I really didn't have any appropriate glasses for such spooky plates, so I found these horn shaped mugs at a local antique shop.
And paired them with black flutes found at Hobby Lobby.
The brass candle holders are part of a set I picked up at a garage sale.
I wanted appropriately scary napkin rings, but after the other purchases, decided to "make" napkin rings.
I found some sparkly spiders that were stickers and put them on my silver napkin rings.
And a cute cauldron filled with candy corn.
The centerpiece was tricky...I wanted something spooky.
So I put black silk roses in a vase with black and clear rocks. It is sparse but I think more would look less spooky. The candlesticks are from Hobby Lobby. I wanted to use really tall tapers, but the candlesticks hold a larger candle. A very helpful clerk suggested I use the black rocks to hold the candle in.
I had Fire King Peach Lustre plates and dessert bowls, so I used them. They are kind of light for orange, but it still looks pretty good.
I found these black plates with a pebbling effect on the rim at KMart a while back, and of course my silver chargers.
The finished project.
But a spooky table isn't as much fun with the lights on, so...
Happy Halloween!
