Our breakfast room is difficult to photograph in the best of circumstances, but my camera broke, and I am using my daughter’s camera. My camera and I had learned to get along with one another, but I haven’t developed much of a relationship with my daughter’s camera, so please excuse the pictures.
The yellow plaid placemats were still in the package when I bought them at a yard sale years ago. I have again used my black and white polka dot melamine plates (Moda Home) that I bought at Tuesday Morning.
On top of that, I’ve used an orange and white polka dot salad plate (Bistro Collection by Amici) and a white leaf-shaped salad bowl (Clay Art).
I used my metal jack-o-lantern napkin rings to hold the black and white polka dot napkins. I used a mixture of orange and black handled flatware.
See what I’m talking about? This salt cellar and pepper shaker, and the little sauce server are orange pumpkins. My daughter’s camera made them look like pink tomatoes. I know—I’m the one who set the settings on the camera, but I’m tellin’ ya, this camera is not my friend. I bought this little set at an antique store years ago. The only mark is a “made in Germany” stamp.
My witch plate (yep, she’s got a BIG bum) is Quimperware from France, which I ordered on-line a few years ago.
Witches (with even bigger bums and beer bellies too-I don’t know why those brooms don’t collapse under their weight) fly along the border of the tablecloth, which I’ve probably had for about ten years.
At one end of the table, I’ve used some more Halloween décor. The vintage looking black cat is a reproduction, gifted to me by my friend, Susie. I have a tiny lamp behind him, and when it’s on, the cat face lights up. I couldn’t take a picture with the light on (because this camera is not my friend).
My sincere apologies for my feud with the camera. Hopefully, I’ll have a more friendly camera soon. It was good of you to stop by. laurie

Halloween is stark around here. I do have a few things that could work but the most I usually do is put out a pumpkin so the kids know to stop by for candy. You did a good job with that camera!!
You did good - cute decorations. I probably won't put anything out for Halloween unless know the Grands will be here. ou did great with the camera. I never made friends with mine either. :/
Looking forward to the cooler temps, but not the storms "they" say we may have.
Your decorations are adorable - I especially like the checked pumpkin!! Love your table and the little pumpkin condiment set is so sweet!
I love that fat witch tablecloth! They look so happy!

Hi Laurie, what a wonderful table for breakfast. I love your tablecloth and the darling chubby witches. Your dishes are very striking and you know I love the black and white.
I have not thought about Halloween but your decor is an inspiration.
Hugs!!
Cute table! No I haven't put much thought into Halloween yet. I'm still working into some fall ideas. It's so chilly here today it feels like fall is already here.
Witches, and pumpkins, and leaves... Oh My! I daresay that I have been eyeing up at my ceramic pumpkin and gourd collection and thinking maybe I will do some early fall decorating today. I did buy some fall plates today at the HomeGoods Store, I guess I am getting into the Fall mood.
I adore this table it is so cute probably because I love anything in polka dots and love your black and whites. trying to do a Halloween tablescape using candy corn plates if you find any please let me know.Susie
I have that same tablecloth. I finally found some Halloween plates, though I was only able to find 4 of them. I can hardly wait to use them.
