Waiting for 'The Witch'... (pic heavy)

13 years ago

I gathered up some 'Witch' decorations, to create this table...

Hope you enjoy it...

I had a gold tablecloth and put a Large Spiderweb Decoration on top...then added all that you see to it.

The Witch plates were from CTS -

The Cat name cards are actually Photo Holders..from CTS.

Their eyes flicker in the dark.

I folded two napkins together and tied them with Ribbon from Michael's.

I collect Vintage Halloween Decorations, and when I saw this box at AC Moore, on clearance for $3.99.. I had to have it. I love it's Vintage Design.

The Nutcracker Witch was DH's discovery years ago, at CTS.

The cat was from AC Moore on clearance $3 - and the Witch Bowl is Dept 56 and was a gift from my friend's Daughter.

Hope you enjoyed 'Waiting For The Witch'...

Great job! The witch plates really take the cake. You're right about the witch box. It definitely has a vintage feeling.
Is that a witch hat candle I see?

Tell me, is that orange Fiestaware? What about the flatware? Can't tell for sure, but it looks like it has black handles.

And the kitty on wheels - is he vintage? I think I've seen him before. Was it in one of your arrangements? He is my favorite thing on the table next to the witch hat plates. Shoot, maybe the witch box is my favorite. No, I think the COMBINATION of the witch dish and the orange plate is my favorite. Wait, wait. It's the big bowl. Oh heck. I don't know. I just love the whole thing.

Jane, I love your table. The spider web over the shiny gold cloth is great.I like the way the witch hats look as if they are floating on the plates! The box is the perfect addition. That witch nutcracker is a riot. I really did enjoy 'Waiting For The Witch'.

northerner,so glad to hear you didn't get discouraged! I didn't realize how lucky I am they are doing so well,until I started this thread!Thank you! Susan,I could snap pics all day in that bed! :) I just got my new camera for Christmas,isnt it exciting? Every Morning I get up and walk the yard with my camera,I take pics of just about everything! I recently discovered some Monarch cats on my pots of ws Milkweed,I have captured some awesome pics of them shedding. I also have some Swallowtail cats in various pots and gardens with Fennel and Dill. I have been snapping pics of those guys like crazy! I cant wait to show you guys the pics of my cats,they are special to me,because around here,you dont see many,due to the large amount of birds/wasps.I am hoping to change that, (not by eliminating birds,but with plantings...lol..I just realized how that sounded....lol...good thing for the preview option! ),and so far it looks like my first attempts are working out pretty good! I am doing lots and lots of Milkweed and Dill/Fennel next year,along with some other host plants,I just recently read about. My goal is to attract the Harvester,I would love those cats to hang around eating these awful little *#!*# aphids! I would love to attract them all here,but I guess I have to attack one goal at a time! ;) shemeows,I will have lots of seed I am sure,if you would like some just let me know. I will be cleaning them and offering them for trade this fall. I am keeping some individuals for a couple people,but the rest will be a mix,I am not sure if they will be true or not,being they are all together. I am going to collect seed from the shorter ones and make them their own mix and the same with the taller ones. I am definitely keeping a nice amount of seed for my self also. I still have seed left from the named ones,those I will plant separate next year,to help try to keep the seed true! Thanks so much for all your compliments,they mean alot to me,I really love taking pictures and I am so happy I have such a wonderful group of people that appreciate them,and of course who have their own collections of great pics,that I can appreciate! Thanks!:D

Thanks for remembering Brian. They were recovering from the cold nicely and then last week slow down with no weather change. It turns out I made two blunders with them. 1) I planted out too early, March 23, and 2) I didn't give them enough water. Next year, most likely I will plant out around April 7. I only gave them half a gallon of a water a week where before I used to give them 2/3 gallon every 4 days. My water meter told me it was moist. I finally just used my gut feeling and stuck my finger in the dirt which turned out to be dry. So I am now mulching and putting them on 2/3 gallon every 4 day regimen again. Hopefully, I didn't do any permanent damage. Frustrated with myself and seeing your nice 5 gallon buckets, I decided to create my own. I don't have a reciprocating saw so my wife was laughing her butt off at me trying to cut a big hole using small drill and then "connecting the dots" :-(. I found a 3 inch Atrium Grate which turns out to fit the bucket nicely and also stayed put all by itself. It's sturdy and has a place for the top bucket to "rest". Here's a picture and also one of the retaining wall which my wife took. I was too ashamed to take the picture. lol. Tammsf: Nice cages ;-). I am in the same boat as you are. I am inland so nights are colder than Raybo or bdobs.

Magpie...I'm laughing at what you said about your DH... mine didn't go along with it that eaisly at first. I had to convince him 'He Could Do It'... I told him how clever he was and knew he could...he did warn me quite a bit, that the glass could shatter. I WAS amazed in the end, that he succeded. I hope you and DH had a great fishing day. Sounds like a nice 'together' time. yachter...Yep...Kathleen will be making her way to her local CTS shop. Nothing gets past her...lol As far as those chocolate cupcake candles...when I go next time, I will look to see if they still have any left and will keep you in mind. They would look cute with your Chefs. OA...I've seen those chocolate bunnies in many stores.. They seem to be pretty popular this year. I first saw them last year in Home Goods, but now many other places. party music...keep the faith.. as I said to Luvs. Also, keep checking out the CTS site..they have a listing of where they are and future sites as well. MM...you should Register on Michael's site and have them email you their weekly sales AND coupons. This way, when you go, you can print out a current coupon. I do that, because they don't send a flyer to my area. Hi Marlene..Welcome. You don't want to 'Short Out' you PC with all the drool!! lol Glad you enjoyed my 'haul'! I didn't realize until I unpacked everything...how much SPRING I bought.. Guess, just like everyone else, I've had enough Winter already. Hope to hear more from you, and please join in and share any pictures that you have...We LOVE pictures, as you can tell by the responces to mine!! lol PUNK!! You've been missed! I know you've been busy and glad you had a chance to 'pop' in. Glad you enjoyed looking at everything. I don't think your tree will make me laugh...you are always too modest. I'm looking forward to seeing the hand painted eggs your friend gave you. Looking forward to seeing you back when you get the time. jane

I know what you mean about buying it then think about it later...I try to do that..but this time around...I think I was so overwhelmed...I got 'Stupid' !! :( As far as putting it all away... I really had to work hard at it today...finding places to squeeze things in. I'll have to go back to rearrange and change where they went.. that's the hardest part...and it's getting harder. Gosh, I feel one day when I'm gone, they're gonna say.. This was one 'Sick' lady...with all these dishes!! jane

Job well done!
I love the orange and black color scheme and the plates are tooo cute.
I have the same spider web but it never occured to me to put it on the table.
Like OA, I can't pick a favorite piece. Love it all.

Thank you ladies for all your nice compliments.

OA..too funny!
'Is that a witch hat candle I see?' >
Yes..I bought it at a TS last month - $.50

'Tell me, is that orange Fiestaware?'
No...just plain ole Dollar Store Plates.

'What about the flatware? Can't tell for sure, but it looks like it has black handles.' Yep, Black - got them on clearance from Burlington Coat Factory - of all places

'And the kitty on wheels - is he vintage? I think I've seen him before. Was it in one of your arrangements?'
He has a 'Vintage Look' that fits in with my collection.
I honestly don't remember where I got him. I've had him for years. Yes...I had him out last yr under my Halloween Tree display. I love him too.

NanaK..Funny, I thought the same thing about the hat - looking like it's floating! The photo doesn't do justice to that Nutcracker Witch. She is a riot with lots of funny details on her.

MM..I was trying to come up with something different for a table cover..I had the gold cloth and was trying to think what would be good to set it off > soooo I went into the attic, and got out the old spiderweb...and Voila!

How very Halloweeny. The whole table is delightful. I love the big witch bowl, is so cool. The way the dishes are layered is very nice, the witch plate in particular. The shiney cat was such a deal, I saw one at Big Lots this week for way more. Great job!

jane...the witch hat plates make the place setting so "Halloween-y"...yes, "floating" was my first thought too. Love the linens...double napkins & ribbon, your gold t'cloth & that attic stow-away! Or&Blk...definitely traditional colors but by no means, an ordinary table!

Like OA, I am lovin' everything...kitty on wheels, nutcracker, vintage looking box & serving bowl. Great idea for the cat card holders! And pumpkins for lighting!...like how you heightened them withcandleholders! Ahhh, slinkey jane, this is just a fun, fun, t'scape...& not a bit scary...my 3 & 4 yo GS's would love it! TFS! Jeanne S.

Darling table, Jane. Love it all! Really love the witch plate and your new box, and the little cat is so cute! The jack o lantern candles up on the candle holders looks great. You always come up with such neat things, and the big spiderweb really pulls it all together. Oh, those little plates might be "levitating" rather than just floating, don't you think? LOL

Bewitching table!!Black spiderweb shows up so well on the gold cloth & I love the cat on wheels & witch hats! It's a winner, any witch would be proud to sit down & brew up some spells at your table! I've never seen a witch nutcracker before, very interesting! Jan

Thank you - Frou..Jeanne, Luvs...

Frou.. When I saw that shiney cat on clearance, I snatched it up..cause you're right, I've seen them for so much more too.

Jeanne...I know what you mean about a 'scary table' with young GKds...I wanted to do something not too scary...but guess what, when I was done, they commented that 'It's Not Scary Enough' ! Go Figure. Anyway, I've got another one planned with a couple of Items my Oldest DGS picked out. He also wanted one of those Gargoyles...but I don't like them...and he had to accept it! lol

Luvs... I was laughing over the plates 'levitating'...but when I looked again, they do look more like they're doing that!!
Wooooeeeee!

Here I am! You made me laugh so hard when I read your title. DH couldn't figure out what was going on until I turned around and he seen my shirt! DH offered to take my picture

but I said "NO". DD bought this shirt for me last weekend in Spokane. Thought it was cute so wore it today.

Love your beautiful table. The witch hat plates are super neat and the napkins and Boo ribbons are so pretty. That Dept 56 bowl is wonderful. DFD has great taste. Lucky You! All your added decorations and spider web make this table a fun one. Cute place card holders.

That Lil' kitty has me wondering if he might be related to Jazz with that cute face. Watch Out! It looks like the big kitty is already afraid of what could take place. We all know that dynamite comes in small pkgs.LOL OA, you may have another case on your hands. Can you handle this?

A total joy seeing your table tonight.

Punk..sorry I'm late to reply to you..as I just saw this.
You are a 'funny gal'..

That shirt from DD is too cute. I love it...
'YOU' look great in it too! hehehe
Glad you enjoyed all the fun stuff on the table. You should have hopped on that broom and made your way over to 'Party With Me' !
Maybe next time. Happy Haunting!
