Welcome to my web, but do not be scared.
It's a friendly place to be,
at this table set for you and me.
The dishes are just like celebs
on this tablecloth made of webs.
I invited my best friends you see,
with their beaded legs, don't flee!
This charming find is holding high
a Mikasa votive won as a prize.
Black pebbles make a great base
for the votive to keep it safe.
Jill Gurule sent Senor Huesos
who is lost without his missus!
We left her in Santa Fe,
So we'll have to go back another day.
We left her in Santa Fe,
So we'll have to go back another day.
A gnarly tree is center stage
with die cuts that are all the rage.
Mr. Spook came from far away
so that he too could come and play.
Darling plates await the salad
Each one sings a different ballad.
Beneath the tree a tray peaks out
another spider here to give a shout.
Skull chargers stacked with dishes,
Wedgwood, Pfaltzgraff to fill your wishes.

| Votives are a perfect place; for spiders to highlight their space. |

| Come on in and find your space, check the markers for your face. |
As dusk casts it's luminous glow
I hope you won't just go!!
Glad you came to enjoy the sight,
and hope you leave without a bite!!!

Your Halloween plates are just adorable! I had fun looking at all of them. My favorite part of the whole table was that tree in the centerpiece. Very creative and fun!!

Marlis -- what a fun and whimsical table. Those Pfaltzgraf plates are so fun -- I's loving the mummy. I love how the candlesticks look like a round orb. Also love the black candlesticks. The spiders are such a fun touch too. Joni

How spooktacular! Love those bejeweled spiders!
I love those Halloween plates! I had no idea Pfaltzgraff made such a thing.
Wonderfully scary. The spider webs are fantastic. I love, love, love the jeweled spiders crawling up over the plates. I NEED those! They are almost truly scary, almost realistic. I would love to sit down to a meal, but I bet there might be a spider missing when I left!!!
Jacqueline, the spiders are from Katherine's Collection. I've looked on line and can't find them.. I loved them too.
I love the Halloween plates with different scenes on each one. Cute tree and spider webs. Wonderful scape!
Luv'in those phatastical spiders. Wish they would spin their way over to my my web.
