Welcome to the 629th Tablescape Thursday, a blog party sharing beautiful table settings for all occasions.
Earlier this past spring, I shared this beautiful table setting created by Jackie. If you missed that post, you’ll find it here: Incredible Auction Finds & Dining with Faenza Garofano Carnation.
Recently Jackie wrote to say she would soon be hosting a Halloween gathering in her home. Each year Jackie chooses a different theme for her annual Halloween gathering. This year’s party will be very different, a much smaller gathering.
Jackie said, “October is our favorite time of year! Not only because the Texas heat finally cools, and the smell of pumpkin and apple spice is in the air, but also because October 31st brings Halloween and our annual Halloween bash. This year will be a little different, we won’t have 100 people come dance the night away. Instead, we are setting up 2 small intimate dinners, eating and drinking around a piano bar in my living room.”
Oh, it appears two guests have already started celebrating with a cozy “Dinner for Two” here in the entrance!
Watch out above!
Jackie said, “Each year I come up with a theme in early March and then bring it to life. Some of the themes of Halloween’s past included; Wizard of Oz, Hollywood and Movies (we were the Adam’s Family of course), and Asylum and The Greatest Showman. This year with the pandemic, I decided to just make the house creepy.”
A knight stands guard here in the entrance.
Of course, no party or gathering this year would be complete without this warning.
Moving into the dining room, Jackie has set a beautiful autumn table for the night’s festivities. The chandelier is decorated very differently from when we last saw it. Sooo pretty!
Jackie found this beautiful pattern, Faenza Garofano Carnation, in an online estate auction and managed to win it for an incredible price! Read more about that in this previous post: Incredible Auction Finds & Dining with Faenza Garofano Carnation.
Such a beautiful pattern!
Ohhh, what is this we see in Jackie’s kitchen?
That chandelier is amazing! Wow! Jackie is so creative!
A closer view…
I told Jackie if I was ever in her area the night of this party, I would definitely try to crash it. lol What a fun night it’s going to be!
Ummm, I wonder if some of these “delicacies” will be on the menu? 😉
I can’t wait to share the rest of the decorations Jackie has created throughout her home. Part II of this spooky Halloween gathering will be coming up on our next Metamorphosis Monday! Thanks so much to Jackie for letting me share these three fabulous, spooky Autumn-Halloween table settings!
Looking forward to all the wonderful table settings linked for this week’s Tablescape Thursday!

To get your permalink, click on your post name, then copy and paste the address showing in the address bar, into the “url” box when you link up. You’ll need to include a link in your post back to the party to link up and participate.
That’s so visitors to your blog will be able to find the party and the other Tablescape Thursday participants. Requiring a link back also prevents businesses and scammers from linking up to sell their products. (Yep, that really happens, unfortunately.) If you see a post that’s not table setting related, let me know and I’ll remove it.
Please, don’t add your post name/blog name ALL IN CAPS…it tends to create big spaces between the rows of links.

WOW! Jackie has outdone herself – what an amazing Halloween party! Her auction china is gorgeous, and I love the gold pumpkins on black plates! Wonders at every turn!
Thanks for sharing, Susan, I can’t wait for part II. And if you end up crashing that party, give me a call and I’ll join you! 🙂 Happy Thursday!
Wow, what an amazing halloween house. Jackie you do a wonderful job. I love that you have 5 different sets of Halloween/Autumn dishes!!
Wow, Jackie has a love of Halloween! I love how she has decorated this season and her house is decorated amazingly spooky! lol She has beautiful dishes and accessories. But it is her decorations that really grab a person in, along with the table settings of course. She sure goes all out and I really love it! I always loved Halloween too, but Jackie has everyone beat I think with her love of it. lol Beautiful job Jackie! Can’t wait for part 2! Hugs, Brenda
Oh-oh, we’ve got another Marie on our hands. :D:D:D
Again I need your help. I ordered the woodwick candles, I thought. The one with the fragrance cinnamon spice had the funny wick but no sound and no fragrance. The other blackberry spice had a good almost wine fragrance which i really like but had to burn one’s ear nearly to hear it. If you could get me to your post with the wood wick candles I would appreciate it. Thank you. Linda
That doesn’t sound like Woodwick Candles, they are usually very fragrant and crackly like a fireplace. lol They are still my favorite candle…Fireside being my favorite scent. The large ellipse-shaped candles are the loudest because the wick is so much larger/longer. The hour-glass shaped candles also crackle, just not as loud since the wick is much smaller.
I usually order them on Amazon. You can see a bunch of different scents here: https://amzn.to/30MDfpr .
It looks like some of the scents are on sale here: https://bit.ly/3dhJoza .
I’ve also bought them for both my daughter in law and myself here: https://bit.ly/3nrTXnL
If you love a woodsy, fireside smell, Fireside is def my fave, but I really love them all.
Wow. I love the settings.
Thank you Susan and Jackie for so much Halloween inspiration! Jackie really goes all out and I know her guests must eagerly anticipate her invitation every year! Looking forward to part 2
I hope they send you pictures of the guest in costume. A delightful party.
