Today is another one of those fun days when we get to play with our dishes, thanks to Susan @ Between Naps On The Porch. Be sure to go by her blog and see her gorgeous tablescape and a list of all the other participants.
Just a fun tablescape for Halloween.
A happy Jack-O-Latern, all aglow.
I placed the pumpkin on a cake stand in a bed of faux leaves and surrounded by a variety of pumpkins and corn from the Dollar Tree.
Black tablecloth and orange napkins and candles for a real Halloween color scheme.
The candles give such a pretty glow in the evening.
I've used the little leaf bowls from Walmart to hold the candles.
The black stemmed wine glass and the clear goblet both came from the Dollar Tree.
Each placesetting is set with my everyday flatware, orange napkins from GW and wood napkin rings from Pier One.
The leaf plates came from Marshalls on sales for $1 each.
The black and white plates are also from Marshalls for $1 ea and the white plate is the famous Gibson dishes from Big Lots all sitting on a rattan placemat.
This is the happiest pumpkin, he just loves to be all lit up.
A view of the table all set for some ghosts and goblins to join the table.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I always appreciate your visits and hope you come back soon.
Hugs, Marty

Marty, great photos and angles in these shots. How festive and fall like they are. You are becoming quite the photographer and home designer.
Please greet all of our fellow AZ bloggers at the luncheon. I wish I could join you but next time.
Blessings,
Debbie
Marty-I love the black, white, and orange together--a classic. I can't believe the stemmed glasses came from Dollar Tree--they look expensive! Happy Halloween!

That is one of the cutest pumpkins I have seen. The orange/black scheme is indeed perfect. I wish I had some of those stores in my town...$1 for those great black-patterned plates--what a bargain!
The whole table is wonderful.
Just lovely! Love the use of Black and White!!!
Hi Marty!
You are indeed the Queen of Tablescapes. This one is so stunning....will you come and do one for me? :-)

What a Happy Hallowen table -- just as cute as can be.
Marty, Marty, Marty...when did you get the black stemmed goblets from the Dollar Tree. I was just there and mine didn't have them....seriously, if it was just this week...I may have you pick me up some. I so NEED them!!
Your table is too cute as always...you have way more energy than me!
It all looks great! I love what a person can happen upon at the dollar tree. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Marty!
I've shopped Marshalls while out there in AZ visiting my sister...I sure wish we had them here! You found some wonderful items to add to your collection.
I like how your orange & black colors are subtle & soft & seem to play well together. Very pretty table!

Marty, I love the way you put together the halloween colors and kept an upscale feel! Those black and white plates are beautiful. If we put our tablescapes together this week we could come up with plenty of combinations!
Thanks,
Yvonne
A great Halloween table -- love the black and white plates -- a great contrast to the colors of Halloween!
Your pumpkin centerpiece is too cute! Like your plates too. Wish they would mark them down to $1 at my Marshall's! The black & white plates look really nice w/ the orange napkins in the candlelight!
Your pumpkin is indeed happy!!! Fabulous tablescape. I have the same Gibson plates & the black and white damask plates. I wish I had the white leaf plates though.
I love that fun happy pumpkin, boy he sure makes me smile...I of course love those black and white plates, I have them hanging on my bedroom wall and I have a pillow I made when I found fabric to match, could you just believe that, small world isn't it...I love the whole table it is just so striking....
HI!!!
So lovely and the warm glow of candles make it so inviting!!!! Love that cute pumpkin all smiling away!!!!

Marty, this is just a neat as can be! I love the colors, and the cute as pie centerpiece. And don't you just love Dollar Tree??? I think they ought to compensate everyone for all the good press they get in the Land of Blog. LOL!
Love your black and white plates so much. Cute napkins, too. I really like how you layered the whole thing from the centerpiece to the dishes. Great job!
XO,
Sheila :-)

Great table for this BOOtiful day.
Happy Thursday Blessings ;-)
What a pretty table, Marty! Love your pumpkin!
Have you checked Mikassa for covered pumpkin tureens? I know some got them there. They are different than mine, but very pretty!
Happy Halloween!
That has to be the cutest pumpkin ever! I love your tablescape. I live for Thursdays to look at what everyone has done. The different personalities shine through in their decorating and I love each and every one. Yours is ADORABLE!
I love your jack-o-lantern. He makes me smile. Your table is very pretty. Thanks for sharig and have a great day!
Oh Marty!
Everything looks so beautiful. I would so love to sit at this festive setting. You did a beautiful job Marty. Just beautiful.
I too am looking forward to tomorrow. I can't wait to see everyone again. And some new ones also. I thought we would just put a number of each gift as they come in. (I'll bring some tape) Put all the numbers in a little pumpkin. After lunch let each lady draw a number, then we will let them get their gift, and we can share what each of us brought, learn hows if folks want them. It is going to be fun. I think we should do another get together before Christmas. We can talk about that tomorrow too.
Much love, Sherry
Oooh, I love the leaf plates and love the price even more!
Hi Marty! You've done it again! More wonderfulness! That is just the cutest pumpkin you have in the center of your table. You always pay so much attention to detail! Love all of the Fallness of leaves, corn, pumpkins - it's enchanting!
Have a beautiful and be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I really like happy halloween decorations too. Love the white leaf plates you got at Marshall's.
Hugs,
Sue

You have a lovely tablescape. The happy jack-o-lantern is such a cute centerpiece. Great find on the $1 leaf plates. Hugs.
OH JOY! Your blog is always such a delight to the eyes! Just so beautiful!! :)
You are so talented!!Your table is beautiful! Can't wait to meet all of the AZ bloggers today!!!!
Wow, what a table. I love it! I go to the $ store and they don't have nice things like this. The Marshall's closed a few years ago here in Cincinnati..it might have had more biz if they had sales like the one you found. Great job.
That happy jack-o-lantern makes the table so pleasant.
I love the big jackolantern and all the pretty fall dishes. Looks very fallish!
You can set the prettiest table I have ever seen.
I love the black and white plate with the white leaves and the orange napkin just makes it! I love orange.
And of course all of the fall decorations are adorable.
Rhonda
The headless horseman would be in heaven with such a lovely pumpkin for his head. Very pretty.
