Debbiedoos Copycat Magazine Challenge: Arsenic and Old Lace

Wednesday, September 26, 2012

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.

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



P1050336

Lacy dessert plates and napkins



P1050340

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!

    Pretty wild copy. I'm not sure I'd want to eat at your house well just not that meal. Okay maybe just a brownie :)

  5. Terrific 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.

  15. I 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.

    By 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.
