I have always wanted to participate in a trunk or treat, and this year we had the opportunity to join in the fun. We participated in the Autumn Fun with the command.
I'm a sucker for a theme. I decided to go with the "Witch's Tea Party". I set the table and it was glorious. Our costumes were fabulous. I gave each child that came through a tea cup with two pieces of candy and a little squeaky toy. We got a few votes but did not win however we had a very good time. I loved it. I hope to be able to do many more in the future especially if we happen to live out in the country.
I used many items I already had as well as purchased some items specifically for this theme. I had the silver tray I used in the middle. It was given to me by my husband's grandma, she got it as a wedding gift. It needs a good polishing so it looked great on the table. I ordered the tea kettle from Amazon.
I had the tablecloth but ordered the spiderweb table runner. It came with bats and several other spooky linens. I am obsessed with the tea plates and cups. I found them at a thrift store. I am always looking for different kinds. I put glittered water in the cups to look like tea. I used edible glitter. I also bought crystal teaspoon sets because I'm extra. I picked up silver rectangle serving trays from Daiso.
It's hard to see in the picture but I also had a small apothecary and cauldron in the trunk.
I had more things I wanted to put out. A sign for broom parking, and an invitation to the tea party but it was very windy. That's why my hat is pulled down on my head.
