The placemats came from TJ Max as did the tri-colored flatware and the green glasses.  Roy bought the large metal tree there also.

The black chargers are from Wal Mart, along with the napkins and most of the decorations.

My thrifty contribution is the plates which are  Halloween 1998 by Debbie Mumm for Sakura from Goodwill for 2.99 for the  four plates.

Just when I think I have this indoor picture taking thing down pat, I don’t do such a pretty good job”.

Hope you enjoy looking at the tablescape as much as I enjoyed  doing it.

A LITTLE LAGNIAPPE……….

 

Both of the pieces below, are china I purchased at Mitchie Tavern in Virginia and are made by the same companies that made the blue pieces I showed on Blue Monday a week or so ago.

I don't even decorate for Halloween, but I WANT to now. This is the cutest table. Just LOVE the rat, but not sure if I could eat with him staring at me. Your TT just started my day with a smile. Thank you!

I look forward to your Thursday Table Scapes, and this one is outstanding. I'd have to leave it up for the rest of October and just dare anyone to eat off that Frankenstien Plate! I've enjoyed your blog and you so much, and I have an award for you at CollectInTexas Gal. Hope you'll come by and see, accept and place on your blog. Hope to see you for Pink Saturday....Sue

Hey, Barbara... can't believe you got those four dessert/salad plates for $2.99! How great is that! I wish our GW and SA had more fun things. Maybe I just don't get there at the right time, but they don't. Now, Nancy, one of my best friends, shops GW daily, and has furnished a lot of her house through there. I have been stunned at some the coooooool things she has found there.

I just have to say what a cute, cute little spider with the hat. LOL! He made me smile. What a fun tablescape!

Happy Thrifty Thursday to you...

XO,

Sheila:-)

Hey Barbara, I am just now getting back to the computer. I LOVE your tablescape. It is terrific. The signs are fun, the plates are awesome, and it all looks so festive. The tree really adds to the spooky look. I bet you had so much fun putting that together. I love that your hubby was in on the fun. I can't imagine my dh being the least bit interested. He does love to see what I post though. He is always surprised. He makes me laugh as he is clueless about my blogging.

Have a happy day, Hugs, Jeanne

susan said...

Taking inside pictures is tricky for me too! I think you did a good job on the table and photos...but, there is just something so wrong about a rat on the table--even a plastic one :)

Phyllis @Around the House said...

Gosh I should have those wonderful plates, they are too darn cute, love the setting..

Kathleen said...

Great setting! I just love those plates!!!

Patti @ Pandoras Box said...

I love the dishes and especially the frankenstein candle!

The Halloween plates are darling, and what a deal! That rat on your table looks a bit too real. This is a fun tablescape, I enjoyed my visit.

Deb said...

very cute Barbara....do you raise milk goats also??

j said...

Your Halloween decorations looks very pretty. The rat's tail in one of the pictures gave me a shiver. That's the idea though, right?

Have a great evening!

nannykim at spindle cottage said...

The rat and the large spider speak to me!! But I do hate rats....I think I would have to fling him by his tale if I was going to eat at this spooky table!

Unknown said...

Very cute Halloween table. Loved all your decorations and how you put them together with your dishes!

Maureen said...
