Tabletop Tuesday/Centerpiece Wednesday: A Fall Centerpiece

Although my Hallowe'en decorations have traveled back up to the attic, some of my fall decor is lingering.
I used a number of my fall decor pieces to make one big centerpiece on the dining room table.



If I had a few turkeys I could add them to the mix; but I actually don't really own any Thanksgiving decorations, believe it or not!

It was sort of fun to take all my fall things from around the house and make something 'new'. Do you notice the "candy corn" candles? Too cute! They were a gift this year.





I'll be linking up with Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday and with The Style Sisters for Centerpiece Wednesday!




Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Dining Room Centerpiece

Today I'm joining Style Sisters for Centerpiece Wednesday!

The dining room has now joined all the rest of the rooms in the house with this skull on a wreath of black roses that makes up the central piece of my dining room table. I made the wreath last year.
These witch shoes are Fitz and Floyd salt and pepper shakers. They were a gift some years ago.
The pair of silver candleabra are covered in cobwebs and spiders! The "cobwebs" are just cheesecloth that I tore and frayed, with plastic spiders. I finally located a store that had enough black taper candles for all four of my candleabra (two are in the parlour). Every place I had looked was out of black. A local party supply store had plenty!
I made these spooky treat jars about 4 years ago, using two old pickle jars and a canning jar. I printed the labels from Martha Stewart's website. I fill up the jars with black licorice, chocolate peanut butter balls with foil eyeball wrappers and Jelly Belly jellybeans in various colors of black and mottled blue and gray.
And there it is....my spooky dining room table!

Thanks for joining me!
