If The Hat Fits

There is something about wearing a hat that can give you that certain something. You feel more uptown, more elegant, more posh. 

Oh, wait a minute – it’s Halloween. Maybe that’s not the feeling you get when adorning your head with a witch hat.  I set this table last year but never blogged about it. So the question is which Witch hat are you wearing this year?

Sculpted formal velvet:

Longaberger:

Or sheer with purple swirls and bats:

The mummy likes that one:

Wendy likes her hat to match her outfit.

Now that you’ve picked your favorite, have a seat.

I’ve told the bats they must stay out of the way, so they are hanging out in the chandelier.

I can’t promise they will behave.

A couple decided to disguise themselves as candy dishes. See there’s one on the corner of the table.

Not a bad disguise.

Every place setting has a pet spider for you to take home. No, don’t thank me. It’s the least I could do as you came for a visit.

My cute napkin rings were a gift from my friend Kim. She picked them up at Tuesday Morning.

I only had one new purchase on this table last year. I found the Happy Halloween plates at Von’s when went to pick up candy. At 50% off they were $2.98. A visit to another Von’s and I had eight.

Have a drink, it’s sure to give you a glow inside.

It’s getting late. Almost the “Witching Hour”.

Have a safe broom ride home.  Don’t forget your pet.

I think I will sit in the corner with Wendy and relax for a while.  Thanks so much for coming.

  2. I'll take the velvet hat, and I don't mind the creepy crawlers as long as they have legs--even 8! Linda
