Halloween table setting

Halloween is my absolute favourite time of year. I love the weather, the colours and the trick or treating. Fancy dress parties are my favourite kind of parties. In the winter months I use an oilcloth instead of a table cloth. It's too difficult to launder my regular tablecloths when I can't dry them on the line. I was ordering things from Zara Home so I thought I'd order a new oilcloth too as mine was looking tired. I love this blue paisley pattern. It's also hemmed so it looks much smarter than my previous one. We eat a lot of turmeric so I'm hoping any permanent staining won't show up on this one.

. My toddler picked the autumn leaves for me. He is really proud to see them as the centrepiece of the table. I put them in a tall glass inside a copper bowl. I love them!

we haven't carved our pumpkins yet but I think they still look good. It was my first time setting a Halloween table and I'm so happy with it that I'm just confused as to why I never did it before!
