It's that time of the year to bring out the ghosts and goblins and get the bejeebers scared out of you! I decided to do a not quite so scary table this year, this was inspired by my two and a half year old grandson.
My grandson loves books, after reading several books to him, he kept coming back to his favorite that day - P.J. Funnybunny Camps out by Marilyn Sadler. Since I am pretty sure that most of you are not going to rush to the library to check this book out - I hope I won't ruin it for you to tell you - that at the end P.J.'s little sister scares the boys by dressing up as a ghost. It is a fun book and Everett would just laugh as I used my spooky ghost voice as we read.
The next day I went into HomeGoods and there were these ghost plates that reminded me of our fun together reading about P.J. getting spooked by his sister. So of course, they immediately went in my cart and I set off to do a not so scary Halloween table for our Halloween Tablescape Blog Hop.
Once again, I am joining with Chloe Crabtree and an incredible group of talented table stylists for a fun hop to show off 19 different takes on Halloween fun! All of the links will be at the bottom of this post, be sure to stop back as they will be updated throughout the week.
My candy wielding ghost in the centerpiece is there to offer up some Halloween favorites such as Reese cups, Kit Kats and M&M's. I mean come on - tell the truth - don't we all go through this just as a good excuse to buy Reese Cups and then eat half of them before Halloween even gets here?!
Putting bows on these two makes them not quite as frightening.
Candy corn wands are there to ward off anything too fearful,
Like the little peeps popping up in the candy corn treats.
I wonder if my grandson will grow up thinking candy corn grows on trees?!?!
For more scary fun- please visit my creative friends who have put together even more spooktacular tables for you enjoyment:
