Halloween Cheese Platter and Candy Buffet

Can you believe that Halloween is less than two weeks away? The temperature is still quite warm here in LA and it’s kind of hard to believe it’s already Fall. My new house is about 23 miles from where I used to live in Manhattan Beach, yet the weather here is a big lifestyle change. The last few weeks it has fluctuated from 90 degrees to over 100!

In an attempt to get in the “spirit” of the season, I created a Halloween cheese platter and candy buffet. It was so much fun to take out my decorations and rediscover things I had almost forgotten that I had.

I ended up creating this display entirely from pieces I already owned. The one thing that is new, is this gorgeous Chinoiserie sideboard that we just purchased. Technically it isn’t actually new… it’s a vintage piece we purchased from DejaVu Décors and had refinished. It was originally black and we had it re-painted in white lacquer to go with our new home. I’m completely smitten with it and also amazed at how it actually fit almost all of my fine china and holiday dishes!

This Halloween Cheese Platter was so much fun to create. I started with a silver platter that was a family heirloom my husband inherited and added a silly coffin candy dish and some plastic skeletons leftover from this tablescape a couple of years ago.

**I recommend using organic and natural ingredients where possible

I finished off my platter with a strand of battery operated purple bat lights.

And a skeleton head, because Halloween is the one holiday where being super cheesy really works. 🙂
