Miss Bag O' Bones Tablescape

Well, look who has shown up to dine with us,

our elegant Miss Bag O' Bones.  You have met 

her before, but she decided she wanted to

join us for an all 

skeleton dinner this year.

She chose McKenzie-Childs Courtly Check scalloped 

plates on top of a white embossed plate, then topped 

with a mercury glass plate and finished with small 

skull and bones plates.  

Here is a view from above.  She wanted you to 

see the entire table. 

She is dressed in all her finery for our dinner. 

I especially love her gaudy necklace.

I think she has her eye on this MC gent!

Or maybe she is going after the skeleton king.

The center of the table is filled with all kinds of fun. 

I am sure we will keep this out all season.  The grandkid's 

favorite is the skeletal phone that speaks to you when you 

pick up the handle - oooooohhhhh!

Don't skeletons and pewter just seem perfect together? 

She thought so too.

Black and silver flatware were her choice too, 

I can see why.

Wait!  Beaulah popped in!  She is not going to 

let Miss Bag O' Bones take her man 

if she can help it!  Now, now ladies!!!

We hope you had fun visiting our place today.

It is always entertaining to be just a little bit scary around 

Purple Chocolate Home 

at this time of year.  

I will be posting this party with

Glamoured Girls for Halloween

I love getting catalogues for holidays,

and now Halloween items are in abundance

in catalogues.  When I saw these fun metallic

skeletons in a current catalogue, I decided

to glam some of my skeletons up.

I found this fabulous Krylon paint

in silver and gold

and couldn't believe what a shiny 

metallic finish it gave me.

Very few metallic paints give this

kind of a finish.  And no this is not

a sponsored post!  Great stuff.

A little strange outside, as she was getting painted.

But it was painted and dried in minutes.

It took less than one can to paint.

After they dried, they brought into the living room

(of course - they are special guests this year) and

then dressed with odds and ends.

I just layered jewels and boas for this lovely lady.

This one sits in a fur and gold chair!  

Isn't she maaaahvelous?

She is seated next to a spooky new

phone that I found at At Home.  The

grandkids really love anything that

talks or moves.

She became great friends with our

friendly vulture - also from At Home this year.

It's all in the little details - fingerless

gloves and a pearl and chain bracelet.

These glamour girls have gotten

a lot of attention this year.  

So glad they decided to make

Purple Chocolat Home,

their Halloween home.
