I'm so glad to participate in Tablescape Thursday again. The last one I posted was a repeat -- but this week I've got a new table to add to the fun. Actually I took the same colors and dishes from my last years "Wicked" repeat....and updated it to.....
....a table full of "Happy Jacks"...... Jack-O-Lanterns that is.
The Jacks and I invite you to share our table.
You can just see this little shy Jack peeking from behind the glass and napkin.
How about a dish breakdown. Starting with these green plates.
Followed by these black and white checked plates.
....and last of all the same black dinner plates......
.....and the same placemats too......
....but I did change the flatware to this black "Treble Clef" and I've added the newish checked tablecloth too.
....now on to my three smiling Jacks. This is my oldest one.....I guess I've had him for at least 25 years....no telling where I found him.
These two Jacks have hung out on my porch for many a Halloween night too......and they're still smiling! (And bringing flowers too!)
Tabletop overview.
Candy corn colored flowers.....
.... with a candy corn pick.
Time to dim the lights.....
.....and enjoy some grins with the Jacks!
I've been so busy the past couple of weeks that I've been terrible about getting around and making comments and responding to your very sweet comments....hope you don't think I'm rude.....really, just crazy busy....some fun and some not....but you know I love ya'll ---and I'll be back to "getting around" real soon.....in the meantime wander on over to "Between Naps on the Porch" and check out all the tables set all across blogland.....where there's always a place set for you!
See ya!
The black/white/green combo on the black and white buffalo checked tablecloth is great...love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a PERFECT example of how the same basic elements can create a great new table!!! It really doesn't take a lot...just creativity, which you obviously have, Miss Martha! I like Smiling Jack...he's a happy character! :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous Martha!! Love the jacks and the black and white is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Love your old pumpkin! It's always fun to dig out our old favorites one more time! I like those placemats...they look quilted!

I love the green and the black together. I also love those black and white checked plates, so much so, that I have too! I like the updates with the tablecloth and the especially like the black flatware. Very cool table. Dianne

what a fun table! I love your glasses.
ReplyDeleteMartha, your Wicked green and black are the perfect inspiration for the Happy Jacks table. I love the checked tablecloth. I was just lamenting that I don't have a good black and white check. I think it ALWAYS makes a great base for a table.
ReplyDelete(And I just saw your comment. I edited my post but I'll just say here that I use a sponge brush and regular old craft paint. One coat will do, and it burns like a regular candle.
Easy!
I just love your black checkered cloth Martha, it really is a fun background for this fun and colorful table. The pop of green is so gorgeous. I loved the checked plates too. I have just 4 of those and wish I had more.
ReplyDeleteMartha, your table is lovely. Very festive and so inviting. I love, love that tablecloth. Delightful!

ReplyDeleteWonderful table. It is amazing how you can take something I think of as scary and make it so inviting.

ReplyDeleteHi Martha,

A delightful table Martha. I haven't read the other comments, but did anyone other than me think that the reflection of your overhead lights in the plates looked a jack-o-lantern face? Love the black and white with the pretty greens. laurie
