My Fortune Teller Tablescape

First of all, this table is meant for fun, not evil.  It is whimsical without being scary.

 

My tablescape started with the Mackenzie Childs' Fortune Teller. I bought her last year on sale.

Remember the story of Cassandra, was a Trojan priestess dedicated to the god Apollo and fated by him to utter true prophecies but never to be believed. In modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate a person whose accurate prophecies, generally of impending disaster, are not believed. 

Have you ever had your fortune told?

Layering in different psychic elements makes this table fun.

Ever try to take a photo when there is a mirror and not show yourself?

The seeing hand makes a fun napkin for this theme.

Fortune telling can be interpreted in different ways, whether it's Tarot cards, crystal balls, palm reading, etc. My plate stack sits on a mystic table runner with lavender plate chargers, Mackenzie child's Courtly Check dinner plate and lavender and gold dessert plates.  I am using a glass clear plate on top with a graphic of a crystal ball.

A dark Eggplant tablecloth fits in perfectly with my chosen theme.

You can see the graphic of the crystal ball clearly in this photo.  I found the image on Etsy.

Fortune teller handbooks are a wonderful party favor filled with goodies.

I hope you are all enjoying this Halloween week.  I will finish this Halloween with one more tablescape. I have another dinner party planned for Wednesday night, so stay tuned.
