Your Hostess again:  Every year I treat my friends and co-workers with a sweet Hallowe'en feast!  

Here are a few photos from years past... take a look at the recipes page for more delightfully ghoulish ideas!

Don't even try to resist!  

Spiders, spiders everywhere!  I was very lucky and collected spider Hallowe'en napkins, plates, etc... for two years to get this fun table together.  Plus, if you plan way ahead and buy your table setting supplies AFTER Hallowe'en, you can make some ghastly good bargains.  

Our transformed lunch room at work... it doesn't have to take much to decorate.  The silhouette images in the windows are cut from DollarStore craft paper and, if you're careful with the tape, can be reused year after year.  

Too ghastly to eat?  Well, no, it disappeared terrifyingly quickly!  Only the dog was uneatable!

This is a pumpkin cake with a rich chocolate icing, skor headstones, dyed-green coconut grass, dried "stone" date walkway, yogurt dipped graham cluster bones and hand-carved (thanks, MOM!) Brazil nut skulls.  Yummy!

Setting the table!  A gorgeously spooky table cloth, pumpkin orange napkins with pipe-cleaner spider napkin-rings and rats to hold the bloody place cards!  It's the only time of year the rats are welcome on the dining room table, and these little darlings are my own, fully poseable mohair lovelies.

I hope we've inspired you to create your own hauntingly perfect Hallowe'en dinner party!
