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.
Wedgwood, Pfaltzgraff to fill your wishes.

| Oneida came to save the day... |

| While pumpkins and crystal dare not play |

| 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!!!

ReplyDeleteWonderfully 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!!!
