Welcome to the annual meeting of The Black Hat Society, all good witches are welcome!
My cauldron has been bubbling with fun in anticipation and as part of a Halloween Tablescape Blog Hop this week! You can find more spooktacular table inspiration from 15 other bloggers at the end of the post.
Park your broom at the door, and have a seat at the table. . .
Pick your poison and favorite mug for your brew. . .
Beware of the candy corn, it’s available in lethal quantities this time of year!
Spidery webs provide a cloth and goblets for our table. . .
Candy treats await to satisfy your sweet tooth. . .
Dish towels with cheery pumpkins make affordable napkins for the table and are convenient for cleaning up those annoying cauldron spills while potion making. . .
To create a festive Halloween centerpiece, a pair of black feather boas run down the length of the table. Chevron-striped and starry night pumpkins are sprinkled down the length of the table, some elevated on polka-dotted cupcake stands, along with mercury glass votives, providing a little spooky ambiance. . .
A tribute to haunted forests, bare twig trees wrapped in burlap, were scared up from the Dollar Spot at Target, along with festive metal Halloween treat pails.
This witch doesn’t like things too scary, so cheery polka dots help keep the “Happy” in Halloween, planted with trees down the length of the table, topped with black paper shred.
Orange and black tinsel-woven placemats are more festive than frightening. . .
Wiccan Lace plates with the quintessential black cats, bats, haunted houses and spider webs, were found at HomeGoods last year, a short broom ride away.
Help yourself to candy twists pops, orange rock candy swizzle sticks, a witch hat lolly, chocolate foil wrapped Jacks, Pixy Stix, mellocreme pumpkins and candy corn. . . fuel for your midnight ride!
And all good witches need festive straws to sip their brew!
Mix up a ‘Drink Up Witches’ Cocktail for Halloween, here.
“When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers,‘tis near Halloween.”

Mary, you have delighted all of my senses once again with your amazing Halloween table. I can almost smell the crisp autumn air as I enjoy your post. Your vintage candy treats always take me back to when I was little; running up and down the streets at night trick or treating with one of those horrible plastic masks – but that didn’t stop us from missing any houses! I love your twig tree centerpieces, they bring the perfect amount of spookiness to the table! Love it all!
You are the BEST! Fantabulous table and wonderful prizes for readers – congrats to all of them!
I love those cups with “you’ve been poisoned’ in the bottom! You have a wonderful stash of Halloween goodies and a marvelous table for spooky fun!!
The sweetest way to be spooked ever Mary! I could hear you cackling with glee as you filled the CUTE candy cups and got out everything spider web! Wacky Wonderful Halloween fun for sure, the Black Hat Society will enjoy dining on lethal candy corn here. Thanks for kicking off our Halloween Hop in such grand style!

WOW!!! This Halloween tablescape captures all the elements of Halloween, a little bit scary and a little fun mixed with some terrific decorative touches that provide the perfect backdrop for the spooky occasion. On top of all that, you’ve provided sweet candy in an awesome display. Those mugs with the “you’ve been poisoned” at the bottom are hilarious – can imagine a guest drinking their last drop and seeing that! LOL You always have such fantastic tablescapes but you’ve outdone yourself with this one Mary! Going back to check it out again!
Congrats to the winners! Your table is fabulously spooktacular!!!! You are the best at this for sure. Have a beautiful week!
I love it all Mary and still say those foil wrapped Jacks just look so cheerful! errr… Scary, I meant… scary:@)

What a lovely giveaway. Congrats to your winners. This table is socute. Everything flows beautiful. Who wouldn’t want some awesome candy? The lacy plates are great, along with the bowls and black glasses. Gotta love Home Goods.
Loads of fun as always! I don’t know how you keep coming up with new, creative tablescapes, but you do. All the details are fun and festive. I’m not a fan of the “scary” things for Halloween. Give me the fun and whimsical. I lucked on to some of the plates this season. Now I need to set a table and have a Halloween dinner party. Congratulations to all the lucky winners. You are a generous friend, Mary! Happy Halloween!
This is absolutely darling and I would love for you to come link up at Hauntingly Beautiful Decor link party! The party is live all month and you can link up multiple posts, old and new!
Such a beautiful and fun tablescape, delightful inspiration here as always!
What a fabulous table – your creativity just keeps shining with each table! The attention to detail always keeps me smiling when I visit!
Beautiful and creative as usual Mary. You are an inspiration and I don’t know how you get it all together and your tablescapes look sooo amazing and well thought out. Your organizational skills have to be beyond measure, (she says as she looks at her room of “stash” which are in need of organizing). I could use about 6 more hands. :)
As always, a table of perfection! You never cease to amaze! I am definitely a member of this society! Thanks for sharing such fun and creative ideas. My littles would just swoon at the plethora of sugar on this spooky table. I guess I would too! That’s why we witches have rotted teeth!
I just love everything about this table. It’s fun yet spooky. The glasses are amazing and those mugs are to die for! 😍
I simply do not know where to start…….I love everything about this tablescape. The dishes..the black feather boa(i NEED THAT)..
How I would love to sit at the table for dinner
happy halloween
“You’ve Been Poisoned”!! Love it! Who wouldn’t want to be invited to your gorgeous Halloween table! I really like the use of the black boa. And, those tiny little pumpkins. Impressive indeed!
Oh Mary! What another winner of a tablescape you have styled! As usual, I don’t know where to begin with your amazing tablescape. I see how you used those same little Target trees…I am thinking about picking up more of them to store away for next year! The “you’ve been poisoned” mugs would be so fun to fill with a hearty soup and surprise guests as they reached the bottom! I love themed tables, and this one is fantastic! Thank you again, so very much, for being a part of another tablescape blog hop!
Wow there is so much fun on your table. Love how you created the long centerpiece. Those little black trees in the buckets are adorable. I want to be a kid and take those candy filled buckets and indulge! You sure are one talented lady!
Mary, I really would join your black hat society! Beautiful!
