What's a witches table without a cute little baby witch?
Way back before witches had GPS systems on their brooms, they had to use the
Field Guide to Monsters to conjure up a meeting with an old beau with a little eye of newt thrown in for good measure.

Every witch has to have some cute Boyds bear decorations on their tables especially a black cat.
I think this little dog has cast his own spell on all the witches
with his photo nestled among the tablescape.

Delicious pumpkin bread is no longer mixed in a a cauldron. Witches are very savvy and use kitchen aid mixers. The recipe can be found HERE. I wrapped the pumpkin breads in tea towels decorated with a big spider ring around the middle for everyone to take home. Honestly you can't expect a witch to live on frogs and toads alone!
Now fly on home but make a stop at Susan's to view other enchanting tablescapes.
*plates are from HomeGoods $2.99 each. Since I can't remember what I ate for breakfast today please do not ask me where the rest of the items came from because I honestly don't remember!

I love your witch story! Those Boyds bears and the little dog are so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd BTW, the pumpkin bread sounds devine! I read the first review and it said to add 1/2 oil 1/2 applesauce, along with nuts and raisins. Did you make any changes or followed the recipe as is? I'm thinking of making it tonight. (I love AR.com)
Rosa
Hooray, you did it, and it was wonderful. I read somewhere you were all about the cooking and not so much the table. You could fool me!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to have some brew and grubs :) there any day!
Have a great weekend, stay out of trouble!
And who did win the Queen of Halloween award???
Had I known the criteria I wouldn't have had all those warts removed from nose..:)
What beautiful pictures. I love the little puppy its adorable.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Joyce-This so fun! I love all your little details. Of course, I had to enlarge and see a picture of that sweet shih tzu--you know I am a little partial. Look at my Met Mon post. That is my granddog ON the table--he thinks he's a cat :)
ReplyDeleteTeeheeeheehe! The little sock monkey is just too precious. Quite an impressive layout. You have warmly welcomed the season along with anyone who dares to enter.
