Ghost, Ghost Houses and Pumpkins


 I love anything ghosts except for the real ones. I have a group of friends from College and we call ourselves "The Spooks". We still meet and have regular reunions and our next one is scheduled in the Philippines this coming January.
 4 individual pumpkin lidded bowls and some kind of a pumpkin server.
 The ghost salad plates are Waechtersbach, made in Germany. I used them first many years ago when my classmates from College and I had a reunion at our home in Natchez, MS.
 Napkins with pumpkins held by black wire rings.
 Spode flatware in "Woodland" pattern

 I thought I would again use this ghost mom and child that I bought from Goodwill. You can also see a little ghost holding a tapered candle behind it on its right.
 I bought the white pumpkin soup tureen from Walmart while buying some paint for my first granddaughter, AJ's room a few weeks ago. I have small individual white pumpkin tureens to match them but they are still in Natchez.
 I love these goblets. I am glad I got them moved here in time for Halloween. They have a greenish tinge on top with orange stems.


 The dinner plates consists of 2 ghosts and a spooky house by Gates Ware. I bought them from Homegoods a few years ago.
 Bronzy faux alligator skin plate chargers. I have had them forever that I cannot recall where I bought them from.
 Placemats
 Close up of the pair of ghosts on the salad plates

 For the teapot, I dug out my Tracy Porter in "Amourette" pattern from one of the bins in the garage.
I love the colors!
I baked some petite fortunes last night with the help of my granddaughter Reese.
 Petite fortunes are made out of butter, eggs, cashew nuts, cornstarch  and sugar.

My ghost house.

Christine, year after year of being blog friends, I can count on you for wonderful seasonal decor. You have a mighty collection of china and tablescape items, and I am sure family and friends adore to dine with you. Even in this spooky time.

Your table is pretty and fun at the same time. After Halloween all you would need to do is remove the Halloween related items and you are ready for Thanksgiving.:)
Thanks for stopping by.

Wow! You have some very unique pieces, I had a pair of little ghost earrings for years and one of them broke, made me so sad. Good choices for the season and you set a wonderful table. Have a great week and enjoy these treasures.
