Happy Wednesday! Halloween is tomorrow and I couldn’t resist having a little spooky and spine-tingling fun at the table. . .
A last hurrah, giving Rod and Rowena a sendoff before they go back into the closet, where all skeletons belong. ;)
Rowena loves to set a festive table for any occasion or holiday, so she pulled out the bone china in honor of Halloween.
Rod and Rowena decided to enjoy a little wine and cheese on the patio.
Hmmmm. . .it appears there are some impromptu guests joining them at the table. . .
Rowena can’t resist candy corn and eats it by the handful every year.
It looks like she’s not the only one that enjoys candy corn. 🐁
Her first inclination was to shoo the mice away but the poor dears were nothing but but skin and bones.
Rod and Rowena are taking advantage of our warm October weather and sunshine, as lack of sun exposure can lead to a Vitamin D deficiency causing rickets, osteoporosis and other skeletal deformities.
Dearly Beloved Forever Red is Rod’s and Rowena’s favorite wine, purchased on their last visit to California’s wine country.

Rowena is quite fashionable! Great puns! Halloween has not been my favorite celebration, but you have made it so much fun. Today I am decorating our Halloween treat bags. Thank you!
The cheese plate is the star of the table! The skeletal mice nibbling the stolen kernal of candy corn and bits of cheese are too funny. Creative with a capital C!!!

I seriously don’t know which was best – the entire tablescape or your skelly humor and bad puns (which, incidentally, are ALL humerus, hehe!).
Mary, all of your Halloween posts are my favorite! Rowena & Rod are such spooky fun!
No bad puns here!!! Made my Halloween!!! Had me grinning and laughing as I drink my morning coffee out of my Portabello By Design coffee mug. The bottom of the mug says “You have been poisoned”….lol. Love, love, love Rod & Rowena’s picnic by the lake which is now posted to my Hunny Falloween board. Happy Halloween Mary!
That was so cute! You really need to put together a book of all of your ingenious tablescapes Mary. It would be such a hit. Happy Halloween to you and the Skellies!
This post was so much fun!!! I agree with Amy above, you really should do a book!! Thank you for all…..
Bye Bye Rod & Rowena! Hope you have fun in the closet this year and come visit Mary next October to sit at her gorgeous tables! 🧡 🧡
Happy Halloween! Loved Rod and Rowena . So clever. I made your twisted S’mores and spider cookies. Thank You!
