So without further delay, I'd like to welcome you to the Witch's table! That pesky old witch has been hanging around here for weeks now. I thought if I set a table for her, surely I would be able to attract and catch her.
So, I went about setting the table in a most unusual fashion.
It wasn't long before a cat showed up and tried out this seat at the table.
Then she quickly relocated to this chair by the hat and broom.
Hmm??? What gives? She seems to be quite comfortable here.
I bet it's the raven she is after, silly cat.
Do you think she'll notice upon closer inspection that's no real bird.
Oh wait, I bet I know what is attracting her.
It must be the menu that is of some interest.
Yes, that's it! She's waiting for me to serve the meal.
On these creepy skeleton plates...
..with beautiful sterling silver pitchforks. Heehee!
I am sure she will also love the taste of some fresh blood from these crystal goblets.
I made both of these displays using old wine bottles I had. I used to collect wine because our former home had a built in bar. After the move my wine had been stored upright in a garage and did not taste quite so well. I've never thrown them out but have finally found something to do with these old bottles. These are a few of my before and after projects. I am sure you can imagine what they may have looked like with their own labels.
For this bottle I only removed the labels and added this stick on label that I got from the Dollar tree. It is sold in a package of 8 with 4 different styles. What a bargain!
This bottle was emptied to make room for the candelabra and the labels removed also.
I added this label after printing it off from The Graphics Fairy. She has the best graphics and you really should visit her blog if you are not familiar with her.
A blood splattered bandage holds my red napkins.
A books of spells certainly should attract any serious witch!
I searched high and low for a graphic for this one and could not find one already made so I made my own. I used one of my favorite fonts combined with this free graphic I got off the Internet. I burned the edges and attached it to this golden black tissue paper that I used to make a book cover.
I forgot to take a "before" picture of the book without the cover.
But since, I thought the book I used was rather funny and appropriate for this transformation I've decided to show you the inside title page.
Yes, there has to be some magic involved to be able to cook good food and look like this.
Pretty funny huh? OK, so I have an odd since of humour this time of year!
I hope you enjoyed this tablescape on how to catch a witch. What? Did you say, you didn't see any witches?
Well I would beg to differ, she may not be a black cat, but I think there is something mysterious about this one. Because one minute she was there, then....
...Poof! Just like that, she "Dissappeared! I think we have seen our witch!
Hee-hehe-hee!
Thanks for visiting with me today! I hope you enjoyed it!
