Tablescapes, Ghosts on the Coast
Posted by the Painted Apron on October 22, 2015 · 23 Comments

You might not be aware, but you’d better beware!

There are ghosts on the coast!

There’s a mansion they’re haunting

It’s really quite daunting!

It’s CREEPY….. it’s SCARY….

Be CAREFUL… be WARY…

What’s on the menu, you might dare to ask~

A Potion of Earthworms

and other Deadly Morsels… What a sumptuous repast!

You can come to the party to look and to see

Enter at your own risk with this skeleton key

Pull up a chair and let down your hair

But you can’t really relax,

There are ghosts everywhere!

BOO!

Juicy Details
I bought the ghosts at the local 5 & 10 [yes, there is still an actual one in Orange Beach!] for $1 each. You could easily make your own with a ping pong or styrofoam ball or a white sock, a black Sharpie, and some cheesecloth [available at any grocery store]
Halloween plates, paper skull napkins and spider web mats/Hobby Lobby
hand painted wine glasses/JMdesigns
clothespin “ghosts” are actually the crabby clothespins I made for Somethin’s Fishy and Netting Crabs

Happy Haunting!!

Love the ghosts in the boat-hilarious:@)
Positively spooky Jenna, your ghosts on the coasts have me heading for the hills! Love those cute specters rowing their boat! I had to chuckle at “Enter at your own risk with this skeleton key” 🙂 I miss the days of 5 & 10s although the Dollar Tree is almost as fun. I have those fun Hobby Lobby plates and I was happy to see they brought them back this year. Happy Haunting to you and your little ghosts and goblins!
omg I am in luv with the little ghosts!!!
Oh my gosh how cute is this! The ghosts in the boat are adorable!
Thanks Sandra, I’m having a lot of fun with my little ghosts! >
This is the first haunted ghostly nautical themed tablescape. Awesome. I love the ghosts in the boat and the haunted mansion centerpiece. So original and unique. I love the plates and the scary story.
Thanks Marsha! I had fun playing with my ghosts!
Hi Jenna – What a fun tablescape! I absolutely loved the ghosts rowing in the boat. Too adorable! In a spooky way of course! Happy Halloween! Hugs, Holly
Thank you Holly, I have been having way too much Halloween fun lately! >
Love the tableware & ghost boat :)Thank you for linking up with us at #HomeMattersParty. We would love to have you again next week.
Jenna, what delightful little ghosts. Your table is so charming. Love your combined theme.
Your table is adorable! And I am loving those dishes too!
I will keep my eyes open for your spooky ghosts as we travel south and try to avoid being haunted by them.
Oh my gosh! I love how cute this looks! 🙂
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
This is too, too, cute! I love those little ghosts in the boat! I might have to borrow that idea next year! Thank you so much for sharing over at Celebrate it Sunday!
Oh my gosh that’s so totally cute Jenna!! I love your poem too, as usual! Thanks for the darling Halloween inspiration – I may be making some ghost of my own this year now that I know how cute they can be!
Thanks so much Barbara! 👻
Jenna, this is so cute!! Ghosts on the coast – love it! Love the ghosts in the boat too, it is so clever and the haunted house and the menu plates are perfect. Hilarious and I love it all!
