A Very Haunted Halloween!

I know Halloween was a few weeks back.  But around that time I was very busy with events.  One of them happened to be a small little Halloween party with two of my friends.

We had the party at our apartment, which, by chance, happens to be a castle.  Yes, that's right, we live in an extravagant, historical "castle."  It used to be a home, but now it's apartments.  Anyway, the high ceilings and old light fixtures set the mood perfectly for a bewitching Halloween.  

Here are some photos of the shindig.

The alcohol--I tried making some Halloween punch type of thing.  A little on the strong side!



A little hummus, veggies, and chips.




This ham and cheese puff pastry is one of the many reasons that Ina Garten is my idol.  All you need are two sheets of  puff pastry, some dijon mustard, sliced ham, and sliced cheese.  So delicious!  A major crowd pleaser.  Who doesn't like ham and cheese sandwiches?
Another shot of my "punch".  We are viewing all the alcohols, plus orange juice.


A cute Halloween "tablescape" (thanks for the terminology, Mom)

Here is the most haunting photo of all!  Me with the table.  I don't know if you can see them, but there are plenty of cobwebs about.  Are they fake or natural?  You can be the judge.

All in all I think the party was a success.  We snacked on some food, watched a French horror movie, and chatted.  Easy breezy for my first time entertaining in our apartment.  I really liked it!
