Halloween Dinner Party

The first dinner party we hosted in the new house was a great success!  My Baby finished restoring the table in time, we managed to clear away the piles of unopened boxes, and I managed to prepare all the food before getting too tipsy.  I love my new dining room, here are lots of gratuitious pictures of it.


 
 My '60s/'70s dress with cape!  I was channelling Bewitched, the witch who just wants to be an ordinary housewife

 
 



 I was particularly proud of these Creme De Menthe cheesecakes with dark chocolate abominable snowmen!

My friends never fail to embrace a theme - this is Mr Gingerbread House and Mrs Night Sky!

Phew, first dinner party over and done with, and I'm already planning the next one.

    Awesome looking Halloween shindig! (And may I add, you guys have a breathtakingly beautiful dinning room table and set of chairs.)

    Happy start of November,
    ♥ Jessica

      Thanks Jessica, I will do another post about how we restored the table, with before and after pictures. It was a lot of hard work but we're so pleased with the results! And we did it all on the cheap too, which makes me inordinately happy.

      November, I love it, it's Guy Fawkes night here so fireworks and sparklers abound!

      Thanks for stopping by Marija - the dark chocolate snowmen were made with an ice-cube mould, you could do anything you wanted really! x

    That looks like so much fun, i used to love watching Bewitched!! She was one fashionable lady, your cape is just as snazzy! :) The chocolate abominable snowmen are hilarious, ALMOST too nice to eat ;) Hope you all had a great time!

      Bewitched was great wasn't it? That film they made with Nicole Kidman was pretty awful though!
      I enjoyed swishing my cape - and felt smug that I only paid £1 for the dress!
