Pirate Poison


Aye, there be plenty of 
Halloween fun around
Purple Chocolat Home
and the pirates came out
to celebrate for
International Talk Like A Pirate Day
(Sept. 19th).


And they be brewin' up
their 
Pirate Poison
for all the little ones.


Don't ye be scared.
There be nothin' to be afeard of
in this pirate abode,
all be sugary poison here.



These glitterin' silver
plates be salvaged from
Z Gallerie, both the skull plates
and the plain silver ones.
Aye, that be a fun store for pirates.


And how about this here
glittery eyed beauty, a candle
to light up the nights 
(light it and walk the plank mateys!!)

Ok, just enjoy the glittering beauty
of those crystal eyes and the
silver hand it sits in.

(This be a gift from dear pirate
friends, Annette and Hannah!)


The table be awash in the 
effects of the poison.



It be bubblin' forth
from Skull Rock


and skull mugs.



Threatenin' to take over
everythin' and everybody.



  

These here appetizer plates
be booty obtained from
Home Goods this here season.

Ain't they beauties?!!
There always be booty
galore when treasure huntin'
at Home Goods and TJ Maxx!


The little candy skull mugs
be from Smith's grocery
store.  Ye never know where
ye might find booty.

The large mugs be from
a secret online source
known as Amazon.


We pirates love stacks of booty
for our tables.



 And this here pirate loves a little purple 
thrown in.  These spider web placemats
also be treasure gleaned from Home Goods
this season.


Even little cocktail napkins
glitter on the table
(from Williams Sonoma).


 Glitter abounds everywhere.


Aye, hope ye have a little
pirate fun this season too.



 And beware of pirate poison!!



And ye always be welcome to
have some poison with us
at 
Purple Chocolat Home.

I have been told I have to come
back and add what the little kiddies
said about their poison.  My eight 
year old grandson was such a worry
wart about it and said that it would
give him "30 degree burns" if he 
drank it.  His mom couldn't believe
he was so worried since we have
had "witches brew" every Halloween.
We thought the 30 degree was pretty funny!

  5. What a wickedly great table, J!! I think you just might like Halloween a bit! Is purple your favorite color? I've noticed it a lot on your blog and it's one of my faves, too. I can't believe you have an 8 year old grandson! Impossible! And that is funny about the poison! :)

  11. It must be so much fun living in your house this time of year...what a fabulously spooky table...right down to the effects of the dry ice. We used to love it when Daddy would bring home a huge chunk and turn the lights low on Halloween, it was like being lost in the fog! The skull plates are fantastic.
    Have a great day.

  15. Well, I don't blame him for worrying about those pesky, painful "30 degree burns"! So cute!

    You went all out, over and beyond, to the moon and back on this one! The dry ice really gives it a spooktacular look!!! And you did it all without a speck of orange...just in time for Kathleen's challenge!!!

    You did great, Jacqueline. I suppose we won't make you walk the plank! :-) Have a great weekend!
