~~~A BeWITCHing Table!!!~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi everyone! On Friday night we hosted our dinner group and since today is Joe's birthday, we also celebrated his birthday! Since Halloween is near, I decided to do a halloween table. I don't DO spooky but I have several "cute" witches:) So, here is the table. I used this black, orange  and white plaid tablecloth, a black placemat, my white chargers, orange dinner plate, black salad plate, and decorative appetizer plate!!!! WHEW!!!! The plaid matching napkin is placed between the dinner and salad plate. The forks are in a small witches boot too!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk80y1Wvo3v3kXIEvdZCUFnsBa66I8Q-h8v174heKXfuoqszwkhvA7Fh1_qG8-mfoymRJduPyNP-B8UAvm4wTTGFzqrqEExcslvOA7mt1fAwmMu2FqN2blVZJyNYIOtQx7Mdf0i7Qpk6Ql/s1600/IMG_9295.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
