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!!

I LOVE Fiji and Franklin! They actually look like a couple I know. The table is suitably spooky, and I love the little baskets that you have at each place setting.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Fifi and Franklin are my new favorite couple! I love your whimsical table Ann!
ReplyDeleteAnn, if this is something new to you, I absolutely love your fun and whimsical table. Fifi and Franklin are a hoot! Love Fifi's look.I wear a lot of leopard print...ha ha. The candle holders and bowl are darling. where did you find those treasure? Love the bows, on glasses, trays, etc. The plates are so pretty. You have knocked this table out of park. I want to be your guest. I love the sweet little leopard purses you crafted. Always a pleasure to join you.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I found the candle holders at Marshalls and the bowl at TJ Maxx - separate shopping trips!! You should have seen my face when I found the bowl that matched!! Like a kid in a candy store!!
DeletePerfect Ann...just perfect. I love the leopard purses filled with retro goodies....I recognize those items...how old does that make me? LOL I have to admit my closet is full of leopard print from dresses, skirts, purses, jackets, blouses and scarfs. I love to pair leopard with camels, blacks and browns. Perhaps that is a suggestion for Fifi. Franklin is lookin' pretty good considering he is glued together of sorts...he is well preserved. What a fun table and I am glad to see you having fun. Always fun to blog hop with you. 🥰🍁🎃👻🐿️🍽️🌛 Kari @ Me and My Captain
ReplyDeleteGhoulish glamour, indeed! I love your cute sartorial theme. The purses are the cutest! The candy is really taking me back to my childhood. I used to love the wax bottle candy drinks: They were my favorite! I also like the neon colors on your table, too. I miss the 80s so much! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAnn, you had fun with this table. Fifi and Franklin are a charming couple. I have always been a fan of leopard print. I have a leopard rug in my family room. The candle holders and bowl are unique and fun. The crafted leopard purses are the perfect finishing touch. I am sure they are Fifi approved! I enjoyed taking a seat at your fun table! Happy October!
ReplyDeleteAnn, what fun it is to meet Fifi and Franklin. I smiled reading your darling post. I love the scalloped plates and the touches of leopard. Great job! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAnn, Fifi Marrow and Franklin P. Stein make spooktacular hosts for your Halloween table! Love your creative spirit and touches with your tray of potion bottles and leopard print accents and bows. You coordinated your candy to match your bowl and fantastic candleholders perfectly. Love how you accessorized the purse and where on earth did you find those candy cigarettes?…too perfect for Fifi! Your addition of the leopard scrapbook paper is so smart and affordable too. Thanks so much for the Halloween fun this morning. It’s always a treat to have a seat at your table. Wishing you a wonderful October!🍽️🎃🧡
ReplyDeleteOh Ann.....I love your table with FiFi and Franklin. They are so incredibly adorable along with the good bowl and hands candlesticks. I noticed your scalloped plates and bow stemware. I have seen these at TJ Maxx and wanted to purchase them myself, but my overflowing inventory or collection of dinnerware did not allow me to buy one more thing. I am so glad you did, though. They are absolutely gorgeous for this table and any other table. Your humorous table and story is awesome for Halloween and children and adults alike will relish in the fun!!!! So fashionable. I am so glad Fifi could display her fashion sense--the leopard print bag is so "in". Happy Halloween Ann and enjoy your time with your new guests Fifi and Franklin.
ReplyDeleteAnn, these two hosts are hilariously hip for this hop. Every time i see or wear leopard, I think of my mother (RIP), and she would've loved all the detail here. I don't know where you found these very cool elements that you didn't create yourself (which, btw, those are awesome), but the whole table is a real hoot. I can see a really fun girls' party happenin' here, making up pickup lines for Franklin to Mia, or vice versa. Thanks so much for bringing the ghoulish glamour to the hop with your participation!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, "Franken-fine!" This is all such spooky fun Ann! The candlesticks are amazing! Such a genius idea to use the leopard print paper for the plate you wanted. The Halloween party favors are so cute, what a delightful treat! Love it all!!

Ann, I must say you have created a mighty Frankin-fine table here! Fifi and Franklin make a delightful couple even if she is secretly rolling her eyes at his pick-up line. Love the names btw lol and all her bowed accessories. The plate stack is so pretty with the pop of orange from the salad plate and the candle holders, matching bowl, and bowed stemware are just fab. Love it all and especially the darling purse favors filled with vintage candy. If you decide to have a Gal-oween gathering, your guests will be so impressed. Happy Halloween!
