Tablescape Thursday
WOW! You sure know how to do HALLOWEEN! WELL DONE!! 🎃🧙🏻🦹🏼🧛🏻♀️💀👺👻🧟♂️🕷🕸🦇🎃🎃🎃🕷
I love love love all your beautiful tablescapes! You have such an eye for color & detail! I was wondering where and how you store all your different dishes and decor. I too love collecting China and linens, and most are stored in bins. I’d rather be able to see them on open shelves but have no space. Do you have a system? Thank you for all the joy you bring with sharing your talents & lovely lake setting! Xo Bren
Lots of fun Mary! I love the countdown calendar:@)
Mary, your attention to every detail is amazing. I had no clue there were so many potions, brews, and elixirs. Most look mighty strong and scary. If you don’t mind, I will just grab the lethal quantity of candy corn. The countdown easel is so cute. The black cat teapot and black cat mugs are perfectly filled with candy. I keep saying you are the “Queen” of halloween. Your love and enjoyment shines through!
What a treat to join you in the Black Cat Trading Company aka The Potting Shed! Have a fabulous Tuesday 🎃🖤🎃
What a fun time we would have if we visited your Potting Shed! The Black Cat Teapot and Black Cat Mugs are fabulous! Those elixirs are a wee bit scary so I’ll stick to the yummy treats.
Another fun Halloween Table from the gal who loves to share amazing Halloween Inspiration!
Happy Tuesday!
Nothing says Halloween more than your Potting Shed Aka The Black Cat Trading Company! 🐈⬛ My heart skips a beat when I see that spooktacular wreath on the door. 🧙♀️You have risen the love of Black Cats 🐈⬛ of Halloween to a new level every year! You always amaze me with your impeccable attention to detail. You have been an inspiration to me over the years!! Your passion for anything Halloween shows through your over the witch’s broom creatively! Happy Halloween Mary 🎃
Mary, I am spellbound by your collection of retro and vintage inspired tableware and decor! What mystical fun! Wherever do you store everything lol?! Your black cat familiar makes such a spooktacular Halloween theme. Especially like the black cat teapot — so cute! And, what a collection of potions, poisons, and “cures” you have my dear! I’d love to hop on my broom and come visit for a spell.
Mary, your posts are always the best! I’m a longtime admirer and your whimsy in today’s post is so very happy! I’m not a fan of Halloween, but you could convert me with your clever and cute inspiration! Your mix of colors along with a talented eye for composition are grand champion quality post after post. It seems your creativity is endless and it is most appreciated. You are quite simply awesome!
Meowee! I’m dying over here with all the details! I must’ve had a bit too much of that dungeon distilled (🤣) spider venom. Nothing less than what I expected, your shed full of potions and elixirs is totally the cure-all for any cat who may be on the fence as to loving a good Halloween theme carried out. I adore all the details spelled out with each photograph, which I carefully inspect so as not to miss any of it. The plates are fabulous, each one with its labeling, and all the cat elements – rings and napkins, mugs, statues – would raise the hair on the backs of all my crazy cat lady friends! Thanks for bringing your magic to the hop, Mary, It’s spellbinding! 🧙♀️🐈⬛🎃
Mary, I knew your post would be fantastic! I love when the potting shed is the scene for your amazing table settings. Every detail speaks of your incredible talent! I’ll be back again and again studying every nuisance. I put out my pumpkins and touches of fall, but will skip my Halloween decor this year. I’ll return to this fun setting to get my Halloween fix. It is all spellbinding!
Thank you for the joy you bring….with every season..but most of all my beloved HALLOWEEN! yOU ARE INCREDIBLY AMAZING AND SUCH AN INSPIRATION….
I feel like I’m in the Shakespeare play Macbeth. “Double Double toil and trouble”. There are so many cute elements to your garden shed table. Starting with the front door wreath, taking it all in at once is a challenge and deserves and second look!
Happy October,
Rachelle
Mary, I love your fun signs and whimsical black cats! As always, your table setting is delightful! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Mary, I always enjoy a visit to your potting shed! You have created the most fun Halloween display. My kids would have loved this when they were little. You are so creative, and I loved reading all the entertaining dialogue that you added. I giggled at the “lethal dose of candy corn.” I made the mistake of sitting some out. I can’t stay out of the stuff! It is always a delight to join you on these hops!
Mary, Your potting shed is adorable! Love all the black cats items. You always make everything look so cute and inviting! (I visited the Mothership and purchased the pretty Royal Stafford plates and salad plates. Thanks for the preview; I was in sensory overload! Lol) Clara❤️
I would love to sit in your potting shed, full of potions and black cats, and share spooky stories! What a fun table! Happy Halloween!
Mary! WOW I love it all! So many unique pieces and fun ideas! I think next year we should all come to your house for a live tablescape party in your shed! I always love seeing what you come up with every year. Great job!
Karin
Where did you find that darling Halloween countdown???? I L O V E IT!
Hi Mary Anne, I found it at Michaels a few years ago. 🐈⬛🎃🧹🧡
So entertaining as usual Mary, I would expect nothing less from your talented fingers at this time of year. I adore cats and when I first saw your title…my mind went to the black cat fireworks first and then to a wonderful black cat I used to own named Panther. He was beautiful and just a bit naughty from time to time but I enjoyed him none-the-less. I love your potions and elixirs and the potting shed should be on the cover of a magazine, with your permission of course.. (sorry, didn’t mean to bring up old memories). I agree with Shannon, the candy corn is my waterloo…build it and I will come.
Happy October!

What a Halloween Hoot Mary! So many cute and amazing Halloween things, I swear I can hear cackling with glee! I don’t think I could eat food off of those descriptive plates, yikes, and don’t think I could lick a cattail lollipop :) I do miss Rod and Rowena, they must have been dying to come to your little dinner party… Love your black cat count down calendar and the black cat sign, Freaky & Fabulous Mary!
What a fun setting you created in your potting shed, Mary. I’m really loving the vintage look of everything that you did. The potions sound lethal, but the treats are amazing! Thanks for your creativity. 👻 🎃 🐈⬛
Mary, I love your black cat collection that is so retro. Of course, all of your potion signs and bottles. I could use a swig of some of the potions and with a few aches and pains, I could use some of the powders. You always display things in an extraordinary way. So fun. I love the traditional black and orange and adore your black cat napkins. Have a wonderfully spooky Halloween.
Bravo Mary, you never cease to amaze me with your fun ideas. A kid at heart. i would love to shop with you. Your Black cat Trading Company is funtastic. I love the theme and the cute signs. Coordinated candy as well. Your creepy potions are perfect with this fun theme. The potting shed looks fabulous for this frightful table setting. Always a pleasure to join you Mary.
Mary, cats are favorites at our house and it was great to see them happily featured in your tablescape. I loved the retro feel of the signs that surrounded your table setting. So many great Halloween colors blending together to create one look. I probably need one or two of those potions. Happy Halloween!

How cute, Mary! This takes me back to c. 1971 when I was in First Grade. I dressed like a black cat for Halloween, and the mask looked like a few of your cats in your tablescape and vignettes. Everything is so cute, and I love the teapot most of all. Our oldest daughter would love one just like it because she love cats, Halloween, and tea. The Halloween Countdown sign is very cute, and the wreath is stunning. I would love to make something like that! Happy Halloween!
Hi Mary ~~

Mary, what a lovely way of styling the potting shed for Halloween! The vintage cats and all of the signs remind me of Halloween celebrations years ago! The plates are great! You never disappoint! Happy Halloween!
Mary, I have been transported to a spookily charming gathering of witches and their black cat familiars. And I love it all! Each detail adds to the shivery feels. The vintage look of the cats goes so well with all the potions and elixirs. A delight to explore! And the narrative is marvelous! Such a pleasure hopping with you!
I always think of you as the Halloween queen and you never ever dissapoint!
Oh Mary! What a fun and whimsical Halloween table filled with black cats and the best potions ever! The black cat mugs are equally cute and menacing! I especially love all the potions! I mean, can you get any better than dungeon distilled at Halloween time! Those plates were a great find. Black cats are adorable, but just creepy enough to make my skin crawl a little bit come the spooky season!
Mary, I just love when you set a table in your lovely potting shed. Your retro inspired Halloween decor is right up my alley! It’s a perfect combination of cuteness with the smiling cats and creepy with the potions and elixirs! It’s always fun to hop with you. Happy Halloween!
