FABBY: Lugubrious Tablescape

Hello sweet friends!
 
I'm re-posting my tablescape for Halloween from 2011, as I am going to be at home this Monday, to make my new tablescape. Currently we are visiting our two girls, taking advantage of the town's holidays and the g'girls are off from school for a week.  Here goes..you might not even remember it!

We finally finished painting the dining room, living room, den, or family room and foyer, therefore, after cleaning like there was no tomorrow after the paint job, yesterday the people from Hunter Douglas came to do the installation of the window treatment, so I started cleaning after they left once again...I am exhausted!!  Alright, everything looks great, clean fresh and with a nice touch of modernity.  

I will post the before and after on Met.M.    Meanwhile I wanted to start my clean and neat house with what I love to do best which is tablescaping with one that I call "lugubrious" caz it is!!...  see for yourselves!, lol   

I want to thank you wonderful friends in advance for your lovely and so very appreciated visits. 

I'd also want to thank the gracious ladies that host such terrific and fun parties every week, hope you join too so we can have a blast!  Happy Halloween and lots of hugs.       


Here is my tablescape with some delish and yummy food all over and some adorable little greeters you might want as pets for Halloween!

Just a totally yummy with mud and snakes!  You crush some Oreo cookies with a rolling pin and add some jelly snakes and taraaa!



Would you like some blood and spider wine?!

 


I think my cleaning is not over yet!  I think I have to clean all the spider web that's been happening around here!!

    Ohhh my...sounds like you have been the busy little bee, dear friend! So happy to hear that all of the house painting is done. Eeeks...I know how messy that can be...but bet it looks fabulous! Can't wait to see photos of it!

    Well dear friend, you have certainly outdone yourself with this "Lugubrious" Halloween table! Sure looks like you had lots of fun creating it! Love your pretty black china! I agree with Bill, you have still managed to create a very elegant table...even amongst the creepy! Hehe!

    Thank you so much for joining in with the fun of Sunday Favorites this week, my friend!

    Have a super Sunday, Fabby!
    Love ya,
