Meet Leonard. Better known as the dashing and flamboyant vampire of Cornfield Castle. Can you tell that underneath all of the glitz, glamour and extravagance, Leonard is easy going, extremely friendly and very popular among children and adults alike.
Leonard is also a good friend and neighbor of Ferdinand Frankenstein. Do you remember him from last year? If you missed his story, you can read about him at: Ferdinand Frankenstein.
Can you tell Leonard's favorite colors are red and purple. He tells his friends and neighbors that it is his color design that gave the ladies' Red Hat Society their inspiration with the same colors. "The bold contrasting colors of red and vibrant purple", he said, "brings out the loveliness in every woman who wears it.' Adding a feather boa to the table runner expresses his feminine side. It certainly conveys a softness that contrasts well with the red string placemats that look so much like spider webs.
Of course, his spider friends that crawl along the table are right at home. They love visiting with Leonard.
Leonard's neighborhood bat friends also "hang around" for long afternoons and evenings.
Ferdinand suggested that Leonard whip up some of his famous vampire donuts for friends, family and neighbors to take home and enjoy. These moist, delicate cake donuts are decorated with fangs, kind of a self-portrait of Leonard. These delicious donuts bring a cautious smile to guests since they are a gentle reminder of just who is their host of this hair-raising party.......a lovable and charismatic vampire with a debonair smile.

An eerie glow comes from the lit haunted house design on the plate that is much like the mysterious glow in the house in which Leonard lives in.
And now the best for last. Here are all of the links to each designer's blog for some extraordinary Halloween fun.
Your whimsical plates and colorful accents are so fun--I love your attention to detail! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
ReplyDeletewhat a fun table!! The colors are fabulous and the plates are so cute. I made those donuts last year and my grandsons loved them! Happy Halloween to you (and Leonard!)
ReplyDeleteVery whimsically styled, Marsha! Leonard's colorway being a prequel to the Red Hat Society now completes that story. 😉
ReplyDeleteThis table would be great fun for kids especially, and the nighttime look with the eerie lights on the trees suits the adults well.
Happy you could join us with this fun table. Happy October!
Oh Marsha, how much fun celebrating Halloween with a friendly Dracula! I laughed out loud when I read his theory on where the Red Hat Society got their theme colors 😂 ! Love the red, purple and black and white polka dots, the adorable plates, red boa, and the blingy black pumpkin centerpiece. I think I'll pass on the tooth filled donuts though, yikes! Happy Halloween!
