Welcome. I think I have finally figured a few things out about decorating for the holidays. I like it best when I incorporate what I have and just add a few things. I used to be so happy when I could put the Halloween things away. There was just too much stuff going on, especially the vulture, hung on the pull of the ceiling fan. He went round and around all month. 
My sweet WB got these dessert plates from Pottery Barn. I am still pining over the skeletons plates that I didn't buy two years ago but I sure do like these.
This tea set and tray is a bit unusual. It is silverplate over copper. Because of the wear, the copper seems to glow through. Arizona is a big copper producer and I wonder if it was made here.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, Home Goods opened near us. He was irresistible to me. Unlike the vulture, I will be sorry to put him away.
Thank you for joining us.
For more tablescapes, join Susan and the others at Between Naps on the Porch.

ReplyDeleteThis table is just absolutely adorable! You did a FABULOUS job, and that little guy is cute as can be. I can see why you hesitate to put him away after Halloween.

And I like that you keep your table simple enough that I can actually imagine eating there. As always, your photos do great justice.
