How fun DD! Love that witch--just not sure I'd want her staring at me all through the meal! I would be imagining her thinking things like "Look how full HER plate is!" or "What? She's having a second helping!" or "Hee hee hee, just wait till she finds the toad toes I dropped into her drink when she wasn't looking!" LOL

You really created a great tablescape, I love it all! The crows on the candlesticks are perfect on each side of the witch and the black rose was a great idea too. Love the little pumpkin and all the spiders too. All the colors are just perfect and the skulls add just the right glow.

Also wanted to tell you that your new format is wonderful. I love the large pictures and the full page layout. Some blogs have so much on the sides and some even have advertising--I can get distracted easily! LOL

Good luck with your remodel, and it's always good to hear from you.

DD...
I agree with Luvs 100% on your blog site,
And this very creative table.
I can see so much thought went into all the details.
Your witch is the 'Star' at the table..but I agree, she could make one uncomfortable while sitting there..
I also love the flying crows on either side of her. What a great visual effect they have together.
Your dinner plates fit in so well with everything, and the black rose is a perfect touch. I like those little jack-o-lantern votives too.
I'm glad you had a chance to post this. I really enjoyed looking at everything. Your tables never disappoint.

Great to hear from you, and see photos too. I have your blog bookmarked. Your tablesettings are always SO special.
The remodeling sounds like a big undertaking, especially during holidays. But know the results will be worth every bit of it.

Luvs...Toad toes??? LOL, you had me going at the mental picture of that one!

hugs, Karen

DD, your photos are always wonderful, you have a knack for showing how your glassware gleams in the candlelight, its beautiful.

There's so much to look at. You have so many fun details, with the skulls, the spiders and of course that wonderful witch.

Your Thanksgiving table was SO beautiful, I can't believe you went to all that work just for fun, but I'm glad that we got to see it.

Good luck with the MB and Bath redo. - Gail

I love your entire table, the witch is perfect for a very, scary table, plus the small touches like a black rose at each setting and all the rest. It came together perfectly!!!

I had to sneak a peak at all your fall again while there, just beautiful, can you come do my house for Thanksgiving?????

Although blogging is fun and it is neat to share my 'scapes with more people, whenever I read the comments from my "HOLIDAY" friends, I feel such a sense of belonging! It is partly my fault for not being more "involved" with other bloggers but the comments left for me here are just so touching and meaningful. Thank you so much ladies for your compliments and funny commments!

Luvs, you are a hoot! You are so right, Ms Witch might just stare you down for your food or play some prank to get it! Glad you like the new format of my blog...it is definitely a learning process for me and I'm happy when I stumble on something better or get advice from Kathleen!

Jane, the witch is probably not a good choice for an actual dinner party and nor are the ravens up high as they all break my own rules of obscuring sight lines and they only look good from one side of the table. Course, those viewing from the back wouldn't have the witch's evil eyes on them! lol!

Karen, thank you. I am honoured that you check out my blog now and then. Yes, the reno project is overwhelming to me right now...I can't even decide on a paint colour!

Gail, I'm always working on how to take better pics. Got DH involved in this one as he used to do the lights for a local band and now has all this equipment in the garage. He bought a stand for me and came up with a plan to use some of the lights on it. Its a problem for me though as it is too big for me to put together...guess he will be involved every time I tablescape!

Yachter, I'd love to come do another Thanksgiving table since our Canadian one is over. What time should I show up? Course, I expect a turkey dinner in payment! LOL!

Thanks again ladies, you're the best!

DD

Glad you found some time to yourself, so we could all be wowed. WOW! I can hardly pick a favorite, but the witch and the crow are outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

I posted on your blog, but don't mind saying what a great scape it is!
You are lucky you can start on Cmas early..you are finished with Tgiving.
I get nervous just thinking about getting it all done! Takes me longer every year!!

As others have said it's a great tablescape! I'd have to take that spider off my plate and "give" it to someone else tho! LOL

I have never liked skulls either but they are growing on me to the extent I bot one this year! Maybe spiders next year!

DD,

Happy Halloween and I truly enjoyed your blog. What beautiful tables and I will be back to enjoy again.

Syble, thanks for saying you were "Wowed"! by the tablescapes on my blog. It was nice to have a few minutes to play!

Kathleen, I appreciate you commenting twice! DH and I used to lament that our Thanksgiving wasn't like the "kick-off" to Christmas holidays like in the States but now that I decorate so much for both, I am glad they are farther apart. I don't know how you all do it!!!

LG, I'm not much into the scary things of Halloween either and that's why my 'scape started out more cute than scary but with the witch and skulls, it got more gruesome and I only bought those as they were half price last year after Halloween.

Punk, thanks for your compliments! Hope you are having a good Halloween tonight too!

DD

DD, I went to your blog and enjoyed looking at those pictures, they're great!

Once again, you did a wonderful job! What a creative person!

Liked the big witch as centerpiece, this changes from flowers and other settings and gives a special feeling, like if a witch would host the dinner.

Fantastic settings!
