I am afraid of real ghost but I love whimsical white ones. I even like Casper. When I was in College, I belonged to a group called Spooks. We still reunite every 2 years or so, in fact, we are planning to have another reunion here the summer of next year. One of them is even planning to fly all the way from the Philippines.
This tablescape is dedicated to them.
I was watching TV last week while snuggled into this Halloween fleece throw when I suddenly a light bulb flashed in my head and I thought, "I could use this as a tablecloth!". And so I did!

The dinner plates are one of our everyday dishes. They are plain orange and plain green. The salad plates are Biltmore's "Holland Platinum".
I saw these spider webbed placemats at Homegoods, more than year ago in Fort Myers, when my daughter had a baby.
I used black goblets and green wine glasses.
The plate chargers are mercury glass and have roses around the border.
I have had these plates since I lived in Florida. They are really sturdy. I like their distressed look. They came in orange, green and a white with striped green and orange. I mix and match them and they have been my everyday dishes for years and they are still in perfect condition, and to think that I bought them at a dollar store in Florida.

I brought this fruit basket from our Charleston trip. It was only $5. I wish I had more room in my luggage or I would have bought more to sell in my booth.
I bought the cookies from Homegoods in Pensacola. I think they are so cute and I cannot get myself to eat them, lol.
I have dinner plates matching this black and platinum Biltmore plates but I wanted to add some fall colors on the table that's why I added the orange and green dinner plates.
Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you like my spooky cute tablescape.

I love this Christine! Great halloween table!
OK, I think I am back in business here Christine. I adore your table. I think it is classy with a touch of Spook. I think that is so neat you and the girls still get together. Enjoy!
The table is adorable. At first I thought you had some Cheryl's cookies on the table.
Hi, Christine! I love the Biltmore Holland Platinum pattern! It's so cool, but so hard to come by. I think they only manufactured it for about a year and then...poof! Gone! You are very lucky to have it! Your chargers are out of this world beautiful!!! I have NEVER seen anything even close to that! Gorgeous!!! This table wasn't spooky at all...just gorgeous!
:D Christine, this Halloween tablescape is too, too cute!!! LOVE the ghost votives!
Cute rather than spooky is what I like. Great job! ~ Sarah
Christine this is a fabulous table setting ! I love how you create your tablescapes, and this one is so much fun.

Christine, this is wonderful! You made it pretty but even more, it's a HAPPY table with all the whimsical ghosties. I love those black goblets. I've never seen anything like them.
And the cookies in the center piece are adorable. I wouldn't be able to eat them either.
At least for a WHILE...
Another fun and colorful table. You rock the table setting world. Richard from My Old Historic House.
Looks great...great idea to use the throw for a tablecloth :) Laurel@chippingwithcharm
I love your cute spooky table....your dishes are so pretty together.....and those cookies are way too cute to eat.....
What a special treat to see your fantastic table all decked out for a haunting experience.....giggle. Your ghostly tablecloth is just the perfect anchor for your accessories. I like the china setting on the colored dinner plates, and the green crystal wine stems are stunning.
What a fun table. All with a little flair of elegance :-)

I love that you used your Halloween throw as the tablecloth on this festive table! Those Biltmore plates are lovely.
I just love this cute table scape!
Wonderful whimsy with just the right touch of elegance here and there. The Biltmore accent plate is gorgeous! I don't much like the bizarre approach to Halloween, either....but yours is darling. Thank you for inviting us to your table. Cherry Kay

Such a fun table Christine. Love that you used the throw for a cloth and those place mats are great. I'm really drooling over those green stems and those chargers. They are gorgeous! laurie
Such great and fun table Chris, I specially love the chargers myself, they're so elegant and will go with just every china. This china is beautiful too.
