Halloween Porch at the Little Bee House

Welcome to Halloween on 

the porch of our Little Bee House!

 I layered the lanterns I already

have and enjoy so much as the 

nights are earlier now in fall

with a set of three pumpkins from Target.

 In our sitting area I replaced the

fall pillows with linen pillow covers

I found on Amazon that match the

polka dot theme of the other pumpkins

 On the black wicker table I filled

a gray urn from QVC with polk dot,

striped and check pumpkins from Pier One.

In addition to two mini Halloween

light up bottle brush trees also from Pier One.

 The witch has flown straight into the wall

of the porch by the door on this 

black and orange wreath from Pier One

with more pumpkin polka dot and stripes!

 Finally these happy pumpkin topiaries

in my urns flank the entry way

to create a mood of Joy

for all the trick and treaters!

They are from Frontgate.

Such a happy little porch~we have really enjoyed it!

Wishing you and yours a Happy Halloween!

Ghoulish Girls Night In

Welcome to a Ghoulish Girls Night In Dinner!

This would also be a great idea for

your turn to host Bunco, Bridge or Bible Study.

 I went rather non traditional in color scheme

for this tablescape using pinks, silver, black and white.

I also mixed new and vintage together 

as I often like to do to 

create a ghoulish table.

 At each place setting I used the Totally Tikka 

Lenox Black and White Dinner Plates with

salad plates from my Grandmothers set of china

and a sherbet/champagne goblet 

from a vintage set I picked up at an antique store

a few years ago.

 For linens I went with my Grandma's pink damask

napkins.  I just love these napkins, well worn

with love and buttery softness!

 Here's a better picture of the glassware set

with silver edging which matches the

silver and white stripe paper table runner.

 I had to have some bees on the table

so I used the set of Wallace Silversmiths Napoleon Bee flatware

I purchased from Horchow several years ago.

 Each place setting has a white and silver

ceramic pumpkin from Target.

I tried to find a link for them but 

they don't seem to be available anymore.

 Initially I had the skull paper placemats

up under the dinner plates, but

you really could not get the full

ghoulish affect so I pulled

them out and placed them on an

angle at all four corners of the table.

 One additional paper skeleton for more festivity

next to the flowers.

 And speaking of the flowers 

I loved the combination of the sweet pink

roses, which matched the pink roses of the

salad plates along with the

darker trumpet flowers

which are almost blood red.

I hope you have enjoyed this 

Ghoulish table!  I certainly have 

enjoyed you stopping by to visit.

Hope you have a great day!
