In keeping with the haunted apothecary theme from the mantle, my table centerpiece has eery black candles and apothecary jars filled with herbs and baubles.

A direct comparison of night and day. I got the apothecary jars here at Amazon – frankly they are the best price I’d seen and came in a set of 3. I’m excited to use theme for the various holidays.

The candles and candle holders I got at Hobby Lobby – Pottery Barn had similar ones but I got these for a deal and frankly I think the entire purchase was cheaper than one at Pottery Barn!

Deciding which potion to brew? You can study magical water plants from the Mediterranean or a potion book, below.


Although I wrote about my Halloween mantel here, I couldn’t resist photographing here at night time with the cauldron lights glowing.

The cat is also brewing her own potion. I found her at Home Goods this year.

Wishing you all a Happy Halloween!
