Our idea of Trick~Or~Treat is a bowl of candy plopped on the little stool by the door. Porch light on so you can see your way to the front door! Not much in the way of decorating, huh?

Several years ago, On Crooked Creek, my friend from my middle school para educator days gifted me with the cutest little pumpkin dessert plates. Our year to host Thanksgiving at our home, these little pumpkin plates were perfect for enhancing our homemade pies!
After returning from our Annual Trout Fishing Trip this October, I set them on the table for salad plates. Turning my place mats over to the brighter orange floral side enhances the richness of the plate color.
I found a few treasures while we were vacationing and wanted to try them on the table. I couldn't leave this pumpkin and leaf creamer and sugar on the shelf at Tuesday Morning in Osage Beach. I purchased the caramel hued leaf candle from my favorite Lebanon store, Traditions!
Yes, Halloween isn't dark or scary On Crooked Creek. Our Halloween traditions consist of an individual helping of Crunchy, Munchy Chili . . .bowl of candy by the door. . .front porch light turned on. . . snack of Candy Corn and Cashews and reading or watching TV while we wait to see our neighborhood children in costume.
Stop in for a spell. . .
We'll leave the porch light lit just for you On Crooked Creek!
Until next time. . .

A beautiful Fall table, Pat!
Pat, your table is so inviting! I can see why the leaf sugar and creamer had to come home with you -- too adorable! I like your version of a cozy Halloween table!
Been a long time since I've posted a "comment" on anyone's blog - so, here I am telling you what a great post this was. Your pics are super! I like yours stories of the dishes too!
Your table looks so pretty. Those salad plates are great, and I'm loving that pretty candle in the hurricane. laurie
Your table is fab! I like your idea for the candy distribution. We only get about 4 or 5 callers these days since so many of the children go to planned activities at the malls. Hope you have a wonderful Halloween weekend!
This is a darling table. And your creamer and sugar bowl is adorable!!!! Your centerpiece is lovely!

Hi Pat...love your table!
Thanks so much for stopping by. You are correct, I did buy the tablecloth at Traditions, when it was out on North 5. It is on Commercial now, I believe. Haven't been there in awhile will have to ask my friend, who lives in Lebanon. Loved that shop and always managed to find something neat.
