Join Me For A Bite!

Welcome friends.  Saturday night we hosted a vampire themed dinner party at our home with a dark gothic look. It was great fun with lots of yummy food. Join me for a bite!

Step into my lair this cool calm night, Step into my lair and give into my plight.             

A rich Pintuck red tablecloth is my starting point followed by a black web lace table runner. I added black plate chargers with bat wing placemats. The plate stack consists of Parchment Red by Mikasa and topped with these little bat plates and a custom vampire cookie I ordered online from Etsy.

Dracula takes center stage with his very own coffin.  Two candeliers are dazzling on each side with battery candles. I also added the bat candle holders to complete my theme.

Care for a bite?  Vampires have long been portrayed as children of the night. The ancient Greeks believed that redheaded people would become them when they died. They were even accused of spreading the plague in the Middle Ages. Vampirism flourished in European folklore in the eighteenth century, and in the nineteenth century vampires were blamed for another disease: tuberculosis. Vampires became emblematic of Gothic and grotesque literature. There are countless short stories and novels that feature vampires

I hung a shower curtain with a gothic scene over my french doors. Bats are hanging off the chandelier

Our friends at they sat down to enjoy their Autumn salad. This salad is delicious with apples, pear, pecans, dried cranberries, feta cheese, romaine and poppy seed dressing.

Dracula isn't too scary.  I added my elegant black tall goblets for a dramatic look.
