Perfect Presentation Platters

These Jack-O’-Lantern Stuffed Peppers are so adorable and could go on pretty much anything! Some of my faves are:

Halloween Serving Platters: If you’d like to serve your Halloween Breakfast Board on a festive plate, you may love this cute Jack-O’-Lantern platter or this Stoneware Ghost Platter (both from Pottery Barn), as well as this Marble Ghost Cheese Board from World Market. This black coffin-shaped tray is also spooky!

Individual Halloween Plates: Target has the cutest stoneware appetizer plates for just $3 each! This Jack-O’-Lantern plate would be perfect for this dish, and you may also love this ghost plate. They would also be cute to pair together!

Wooden Serving Boards: I use this rectangular tray regularly, which is at a great price! Antique Farmhouse also has this beautiful set of three! If you’d prefer a round tray, I’d recommend this round wooden Target tray,

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

The Haunted House Candy Jar is also MacKenzie-Childs!
