Halloween 2011

I haven't been inspired to work on a table. It has been a stressful month. I have been spending most of my time with my Spunky baby. She turns 9 tomorrow (63 in dog years). She has been diagnosed with cancer. We don't know how much time we have but we are keeping her a comfortable as possible. She is responding well to the meds and eating again.  Thank God for that.



I had started the table but took it apart. I put it back after a trip to Kohl's. I had liked the place mats and they were at 60% off so I got them.  I had purchased the napkin rings a while back. I had all the decorations all over the living room and decided to bring them all into the dining area. I apologize for the blurry pictures and not taking a picture of the whole table.

My dad purchased the crow tree. I added the pumpkin lights that I had found at an estate sale a few months back.
This ghost along with another was given to me by my friend's mom.

I found these little goblets at Goodill and the coasters at another thrift store.


Mickey was an estate sale find and the "BOO" plates were from thrift store.




I am going to enjoy this Halloween with my Spunky baby.

I hope to link up with The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays.


Have a Happy Halloween.

    Sorry to hear about your dog :( That is so sad. Pets really are like family aren't they? On a lighter note, I do really adore those goblets you got from Goodwill! What a lovely find! Makes me want to go thrifting :) Please stop by to read a spooky Halloween tale and recipe.

    Sorry about your pup, it is sad that cancer even finds our pets. I love the skull and crossbones napkin holders. I have been looking for some black Diamond Point stems...I have seen lots in other colors, I finally had to settle for black tankards in black!

    Thank you all for stopping by. My Spunky baby is gone. We let her go on Thursday of last week. My heart still aches for her even though I know it was for the best. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make.
