A Little Bit of Ghoulish Glamour Halloween Table


 It's time for some Halloween fun!
I love doing Halloween tables because you can take things a down a little different path, and this table is a good example of going out of my norm!!

Fifi Marrow and Franklin P. Stein are welcoming guests to my table this Halloween.

They are happy to be a part of the Halloween Tablescape Hop!  Rita from Panoply has gathered a fine group of table stylists together once again, to show off our spooky and fun spirited best!!
The links to all of the participating blogs will be at the end of my post.


🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃


Fifi Marrow was very glamorous in her day!!  She loved - and apparently still does -  animal prints and anything with a bows and is often a bit over accessorized as you can see from this table.

The are bows everywhere - On the potion bottles, on the tray, on the tablecloth and even on the stemware!
Some well appointed candle sticks and fancy taper candles flank our host and hostess.
Of course, we have to get candy that matches with the decor.
Although, I am not sure how long the candy in the leopard purse favors has been stashed away, because I spot some very nostalgic goodies.  
I searched everywhere for some leopard plates and could only find some for $89 a plate - had to take a hard no on those!  So I ended up using just a piece of scrapbook paper on top of my placemats to bring in that animal print that Fifi is wearing on her headband. 

Then we didn't stop there - Fifi had to accessorize, so we crafted some leopard purses, added a little sparkly scarf and a beaded Halloween purse charm for each of her guests.

Even though this obviously a girly girls table, Franklin is enjoying this.
He put on his best bow tie and waxed up his mustache just for the occasion!! He is going to try out his new  pick up line -                                    
  "Hey girl, I maybe Frankenstein but you're franken-FINE!!   

That's why Fifi wears the sunglasses -so that Franklin can't see her rolling her eyes!   
                    

While Franklin is checking out all the ladies - it is time for you to check out all the other tables!!
Here are the links to all of the other Halloween antics.  It is always so fun to see what everyone had come up with!!

A Little Taste of Fall Tablescape


 We have had a few days of slightly cooler weather here, just perfect to get us all in the fall mood. Football season has started  and it is time to dig out the flannel!! This is my favorite time of the year!

It is also time to join my Tablescaping Group for a fall table. I hope you are ready for some fabulous inspiration from all of my blogging friends because we have 15 wonderful tables to share!  All of the links will be at the end of my post.  Much thanks to Rita from Panoply for organizing these hops.

Farmer's Market Days

 It's that wonderful time of the year when all the farmer's markets are bursting with fresh picked fruits and vegetables.

I decided to set a table in honor of all the roadside vegetable stands out there! 

We used to sell our vegetables at a stand at my grandmother's house.  Since every weekend was spent hoeing, weeding and watering at our pretty expansive garden, we enjoyed when it was finally picking time.

Spring Curio Cards using The Greetery products

 I have been having fun putting together these tiny butterflies, moths and dragon flies by The Greetery.

I am not paid for this post, I just enjoy using The Greetery's products and want to share them with you.  These dies have been out for a while but I thought they deserved another day in the sun because they are so beautiful with tiny details and can be mixed and matched to make a variety of cards.
