My copycat is from this month's issue of Country Living Magazine. The article I chose to copy is about a party theme based on Arsenic and Old Lace. I thought it would be fun to have a "Dessert and a Movie Night" inspired by the article.
These photos are from the actual article.
The frames have antique lace in them.

I set an informal table.
What's your poison?
The labels are printed from the Country Living Magazine website. Here is the link.
Old lace
What are the brownies "laced" with:
A. Powdered sugar
B. Caster sugar
C. Arsenic
Daisies are the friendliest flowers. My guests won't suspect a thing! ;P
Lacy dessert plates and napkins
Small lacy platter and succulents
The great thing about this challenge is I had everything at home except for the daisies. :D NOTE: When Mr. Art @ Home saw the table, he asked, "Are you trying to tell me something?" :/
I adore Cary Grant in this movie!
I hope you join Debbiedoos for this month's Copycat Challenge.
Until next time...
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteRicki,

That is just too clever, Ricki! You did a super job...what fun too!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!! You did a great job!!! Eerie!
ReplyDeleteTerrific movie and wonderful copy. I saw the same images from the magazine online and said to Marmie, "I'd love to decorate an arsenic and old lace theme for Halloween." I love your frames and plates. The brownies are just a great touch.
ReplyDeleteRicki Jill~ So clever from the lacy frames and plates to your 'laced' brownies! Love the trailer, I had to watch :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Boy I' be afraid to try those brownies!! Love how you put it together and presented it! A little cyanide and arsenic never hurt anyone!! Great fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo stinkin' cute...I would GLADLY eat a brownie with my coffee this morning. :))
ReplyDeleteGreat copy cat! My hubby would be wondering too. lol Oh, and those brownies look "to die for" :0)
ReplyDeleteI haven't even gotten around to looking at my Country Living issue, but now I'm totally intrigued. Your table is just plain fun, but that dessert looks delectable!

How cool! I must check out this issue! Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my mom's favorite movies and her birthday's coming up soon and I was planning on having a little dinner party for her!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool and creepy! You know I love me some Country Living, and you totally rocked it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that, it looks so fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteI am giggling at what your husband said. Did you answer with a diabolical laugh?
ReplyDeleteI love it! I can't believe you had so many things with lace on them, but they are perfect for the Arsenic and Old Lace tea. What fun.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love the picture you painted (you did, right?) of apples and pomegranates for your header. The colours are so rich and the texture is amazing.
You are very creative.
ReplyDeleteHa! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe country living Article was my Favorite this Halloween, and your twist on it was like getting arsenic and old lace, part 2! Thanks!
