The Gothic Elegance spread has been one of my FAVORITE since first glance at the Fall '11 catalog. Even though I love Halloween, I've never been much for Halloween decor since it isn't usually so stylish and elegant for an easy transition into non-holiday decor. I was so excited to see the blog entry showing how to create the look, and I'll definitely incorporate the Eclipse Platter into a spook-tacular holiday display then work it into my day-to-day decor following that!

What a beautiful platter, a great addition to bring some color to the table.

I would love to use it on Halloween for special treats for my Grandchildren and a couple close friends. Last year, I made them bloody cupcakes - cherry cake batter with raspberry jam inside and thin red licorice pieces on top of pink frosting to look like veins!

Diane
2011-10-04

Great for all those Halloween treats! Can also see it being used to display the beautiful new Sara Blaine jewelry. And at Christmas for cookies and other goodies!

Jennifer Batts

I love to take my children on nature walks...gathering colorful fall leaves, acorns, goldenrods, wild flowers, and interesting tree branches. Fall is such a magical time. We love decorating pumpkins and baking mini pumpkin bread loaves with cream cheese frosting, topped with candy corn. This eclipse bowl would be perfect to display all these fall traditions..autumn leaves, tiny pumpkins, and fresh baked mini bread loaves!

Maureen

The Eclipse Platter is just so perfect for the Fall Holidays. I love the idea of using it to hold my mini pupkins and some fall leaves as a centerpeice for my table.

Marsha Hunt

MMMMMMM...Fall is here! What could be more wonderful than some warm cornbread muffins made fresh and served in this wonderful Eclipse Serving Platter. Just finished making some homemade vegetable soup to serve with it! Ya'll come!

I would do some great contrast with this eclipse platter. I make halloween cupcakes for the kids with bright orange icing & a white ghost peep! I think they would just POP off of the platter.

Susie Van Deventer
2011-10-04

What a beautiful platter! I can picture it now on my buffet with my delicious caprese salad. Thanks for the opportunity :)

JenS
2011-10-04

I love the color and shape of this platter - I would use it to hold homemade rolls at dinner and it can hold candles and gourds when not in use. I would even lend it to my WH consultant so she could display her new bracelets on it for parties!

Carin J
2011-10-04

I would love to put this piece on my dinner table at Thanksgiving! My husband will be gone for a month before so it's going to be an extra special Turkey Day this year and this platter would help make my dinner spectacular!

Sheri Suess
2011-10-04

Kathleen Pemu
2011-10-04

There are just so many opportunities to showcase this piece. I would use this on my buffet to serve irresistible treats: caramel apples for Halloween, pumpkin bread for Thanksgiving, cookies for Christmas, chocolates for Valentines, and the list goes on. Gosh, I haven't even started on the decorating aspects....

With all the special Holiday meals coming up, this is a must have platter to use for either delicious breads or mouth-watering pastries. Add some holiday appropriate decorations such as pics to create that special touch.

Lexa Selent
2011-10-04

I would love to use this platter for a Twilight party, as most of us know Eclipse is one of the book titles, so the name even plays into the theme, love it!

Angie Weberding
2011-10-04

For Oct. I would add a spider web or two and place my Halloween candy to hand out to the kids. Then in Nov. I would fill it with small gords w/two ears of corn and place on kitchen table. Dec. I will place a holiday napkin and serve my fresh baked goodies. This would be one of my favorite piece to add to my collection. It is so versatile. LOVE IT!!!!

Diana Doest

Perfect to serve some fall beer bread or other seasonal dishes.

Diana Garrett
2011-10-04

I've put two fall-colored throws over my antique chest/coffee table. Right now, I have a wood tray with a flameless candle in the center. I would replace the tray with the Eclipse Platter, put some river rocks in it and put my flameless candle back in the middle. I would also tuck some orange peel and cloves in amongst the rocks for a great Autumn scent...maybe even a cinnamon pine cone or two?

katrina
2011-10-04

I would use it a center piece and change it with the seasons/holidays. It is beautiful!

The Eclipse Serving Platter would be a great way to display my cinnamon apple roll ups that I always make in the Fall and especially on Halloween night for our family. This would be such a beautiful way to show them off.

Christine Levchuk

Gina Coleman
2011-10-04

Its childish, but I would fill mine with Candy Corn! We love candy corn at Halloween! This is a beautiful platter!

Leslie Standerfer
2011-10-04

Much to the dismay of my children, I DON'T decorate for Halloween because I'm not into cheap plastic stuff! I throw out a few pumpkins and gourds, put some candy corn and indian corn in my Galveston Hurricanes, and call it good. I could so totally see myself using ideas from your Gothic Elegance spread, but I'm missing the Eclipse Platter, and boy do I need it! (ahem?)

Kim
2011-10-04

Beautiful and goes with any style decor :)

Amy Sloan
2011-10-04

Cinnamon rolls, pumpkin muffins, or candy corn...or maybe all of the above!

Michelle
2011-10-04

I love this piece...I usually keep fresh fruit in it...but have heard a lot of great ideas to try

Vivian Waschak
2011-10-04

I would fill it with those beautiful white pumpkins and some green and yellow goards for a nice fall arrangement. You could change the display every week and at Christmas fill it with the shiny ornaments that Willow House sells.

Sarah E
2011-10-04

I would keep our Halloween candy in it!

Jennifer Lautenbach
2011-10-04

I will fill it with popcorn balls!

Laurie Kaiser
2011-10-04

I can just picture this beautiful piece with lots of Halloween decorated cookies, fudge and cupcakes. Then I'd use it for Thanksgiving to serve my special breads. I'd later use it to display my Sara Blaine jewelry!

Tiffany Waisanen
2011-10-04

With fall in the air, I would fill it with multi-colored leaves and pumpkins/gourds.

Ann Morin
2011-10-04

The Eclipse Platter is a perfect addition for the fall. I would love to fill it with all of my childhood favorite snacks that my siblings and I made with my grandmother and then give it to her as a fun/sentimental Halloween gift. My grandmother is 95 years old and loves the holidays very much, but gets depressed without my grandfather here and I would love to cheer her up.

Aimee Porter
2011-10-04

What a gorgeous platter! I can envision serving a pork roast surrounded by roasted vegetable on it, or maybe a pumpkin roll or spaghetti bolognese. The possibilities are endless!

I love that you can transform this platter season to season. It would also transition easily with the serving pieces I already have!

Amanda
2011-10-04

We'd bake batches of warm, gooey, homemade cookies, place small piles of them in cute, individually wrapped cellophane bags, and deliver them to our neighbors by means of this tray. Its functional elegance would most certainly make for many very 'special deliveries!'

Kendra Austin
2011-10-04

I live in Germany right know and the platter is absolutely adorable. It looks like the wood platterns that everyone here are trying to buy at the antique markets. Just in love the with "Elegant Goth" idea.

Dede Scheel
2011-10-04

I just ordered this for my boy's bathroom for a masculine feel. I would LOVE another one to hold a heaping pile of candy corn - my husband's favorite!

Karlie Clark
2011-10-04

I would put the demibottle trio on it with some new Sara Blaine jewelry wrapped around them surrounded by some yummy Halloween candy to entice people to come to the table at a vendor event!

Donna Landry
2011-10-04

The Eclipse Platter would look yummy with fresh sliced pumpkin bread!

Anne Wilhelm
2011-10-04

I love the earthy-elegance of the glaze. I would use this platter more decoratively than for serving, but for special occasion desserts, this would be perfect - a tray of nut rolls at the holidays.

Carrie Byers
2011-10-04

Love this platter... Very versitile..

Tracy Pickens

Belinda Gumm Urbanovsky
2011-10-04

First! Wow, what a great platter to have. I love all the ideas below. Since I just moved out of the city to a very relaxed life style in the boondocks, I'd love to serve some homemade zuccini bread and pumpkin bread at a small Halloween gathering this year. I can't wait to see this on my Fall Harvest to Thanksgiving tables either!

Linda ferrarelli Pappas
2011-10-04

I would fill this with brightly colored mini gourds and pumpkins and put in the middle of my dining room buffet.

Dawn Jones-Ca
2011-10-04

We love trays in our house. They have multiple uses. From showing off cupcakes to holding keys and bills. The Eclipse Platter would look great on my hutch holding my sons favorite snack....Granny Smith Apples! When those are gone we would use it for a spooky Halloween display on our entry way table.

Jen Johnson
2011-10-04

I would use it as a centerpiece on my table.

Lety Magana
2011-10-04

The Eclipse Serving Platter is a beautiful piece, it's glossy metallic hues are sure to add interest anywhere it is used or displayed. I'd use this to display pumpkins and gourds for the Fall and serve hot rolls/bread for Thanksgiving dinner.

Megan Sutker
2011-10-04

What a beautiful tray! I bake bread almost every day, and I must confess, I would want to keep this for myself to serve my warm bread... :-)

Emily C.
2011-10-04

This gorgeous platter looks perfect for weekend morning Pumpkin muffins, game-day sliders and appetizers, and crusty rolls and cornbread muffins to go alongside a bowl of warm soup or chili all season long. Of course, it could also be a catch-all for the Halloween candy at the end of the month!

Elizabeth Gulley
2011-10-04

I'll be serving up homemade pumpkin spice cookies this fall (so easy and SO tasty), and they would look even better in this platter! It's beautiful!

Katia Hatter
2011-10-04

This has been on my wish list for a long time! I'd use it for Halloween filled with mini pumpkins on my table (and probably some candy too)...would also use it to display Sara Blaine jewelry at jewelry parties. I think the neutral color with the irridescent glaze would be perfect to highlight those beautiful jewels! And, like all the other Willow House pieces in my home, I'd probably use it for serving during the holidays...or every day, just to make it special!

Georgia
2011-10-04

This would be great to use for rolls with my thanksgiving dinner. I'm having my brother, who I haven't seen in 12 years... And his children who I've never met, coming to dinner. It's going to be a very special Thanksgiving, with a lot to be thankful for!!!

Jennifer VanMeter

Stephanie Boyer
2011-10-04

This is one of the most beautiful platters I have seen. I would use it in October for a fall display and at Christmas, I would place ornaments and greenery in it. It would also be one I would choose first when serving tea breads.

Shawn Duke

Filled with warm cinnamon apple bread! And after the meal, put back on a stand as a buffet display piece. No need to store this platter away in a cabinet! :)

Alicia Gillen
2011-10-04

First I would spray paint mini gourds and pumpkins in metallic spray paint colors like silver, bronze and gold. They would look amazing arranged in this platter and set on my dining room table

Janna T
2011-10-04

I am using mine to showcase my new Sara Blaine jewelry line by putting tiny crushed shells in a portion of the platter and putting my rings standing up in it and some neclaces. So now I need one to serve appetizers on!

Suzanne Jackson
2011-10-04

After using it for a great gothic anchor, it would be helpful as a handsome clutter catcher on my hubby's dresser. It's big enough to hold his charging iPhone, wallet, keys, change, and all those business cards he brings home.

Stephanie S.
2011-10-04

I'd be serving pumpkin/walnut rolls and maple short-bread cookies.

Emily Augustine
2011-10-04

The Eclipse Serving Platter is beautiful and is part of my favorite photo in the Fall 2011 Catalog & I absolutely LOVE the fact that the look is easy to create! How gorgeous would it be decorated for Thanksgiving with a Cornucopia or as a serving dish! It has such a rich warm color those ambers and browns would really pop!

Ashley P.
2011-10-04

Marilyn Rogers
2011-10-04

SMcVay
2011-10-04

I would use it to serve Apple-Cinnamon Bun Dip. For a unique dip container and lovely accent to the Eclipse Serving Platter I would cut off the top and hollow out a large red apple. Stand it upright on the Eclipse Serving Platter, fill it with dip and then surround with Nilla wafers. To have good food AND GREAT DECOR - what more could anyone want?!

This piece would look AMAZING on my foyer chest!! With large acorn ornaments!

Tracey Whiston
2011-10-04

Simple elegance to go through Thanksgiving. Just fill this piece with small orange and white pumpkins. Add a few black, plastic spiders for a couple of days before Halloween and then remove them to restore your fall decoration.

Melody Rush
2011-10-04

I have the Eclipse Serving Platter and I LOVE it. So if I won I would give this to my girlfriend, who is moving soon, as house warming gift. She loves to decorate and she loves Halloween. I bet she would fill it with moss and skulls or big furry spiders.

Krystene Anthony
2011-10-04

I love this Eclipse Platter! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it! I would take and put white pinto beans in the bottom, add the Demi Bottle Trio, and use it as a part of my Jewelry Display!

Lynn Anderson
2011-10-04

I call this piece platter perfect fruit bowl. Use it as your non-traditional fruit bowl beacuse of the deceiving depth and size of the platter, it works grea. The bright green apples with brilliant red apples and fall oranges are stunning and bring out the metallic silvery glaze.

Amy Garrison
2011-10-04

I love the versatility of platters! I especially like the handles... Great for displaying foods, items, candles - you name it!:)

I need this to wrangle all of my remotes. They are always lost in the couch cushions because they don't have a good home. Won't you give them a home?

I think that a pot roast with potatoes & carrots or a roast chicken would be perfectly lovely served in the Eclipse Serving Platter.

I love this platter, and have always wondered how it would look with a bit of water and some simple white floating candles in it. That would be my first experiment! Love it!

I have one now displaying my Sara Blaine jewelry on it. This platter just makes them sparkle!! I would love 2 more (1)to put on my husbands dresser for his catch all - watch, coins etc. Then I would love one to use to decorate with or as a serving piece. It is just so versatile!

With the new white gourds all over, I would like to pile some on this and insert a small amount of greenery to soften it. Truely on our greats!!!

The tray is beautiful! I am making my favorite recipe of banana bread with walnuts. It is a great treat any time of the year but special now for fall.

Elaine Laney
2011-10-04

I think this would look great for fall filled with pinecones and acrons or even with the decorative balls! So many choices that I think I would be changing it every week!

Loree A. Drawbaugh

Loree Drawbaugh

I would use it on my sofa table. That is my next decorating project. Right now, it's too simple. This, filled with some pumpkins & gourds, would give it a little fall pizzazz!

Halloween is my daughters favorite holiday- and since she is moving into her own Townhouse in Alexandria- she can use this for her entertaining she will be doing in her new place! Love this piece- put crushed oreo's and gummy worms on platter and it would be fun to put on table-

katie Henley
2011-10-04

I would do one of two things. Decorate it with fall arrangements such as pumpkins and gourds and put it on my buffet, orrr serve goodies on it such as fudge, cookies, and brownies for my guests. I love to entertain! I love this platter!

Stephanie T
2011-10-04

This would look stylish on my side table for a holder of all of our remotes! I don't like the big bulky boxes that the stores sell as a tv remote holder...

I love this platter. It would be beautiful at the holidays with silver and blue balls, sparkly silver decorative pieces of different textures. Then add a few voltives to really set the mood. Great item!!

No special inspiration for the product today, just might have to get it as a treat for myself. As women we always do for other people. Today, I am doing something for myself!!

I think it was at Convention last year that Melanie showed this with Hersey kisses or Rolos and the Annabelle votives. I would love to recreate that. It was so pretty and sparkly!

Elizabeth Guajardo
2011-10-04

I love this platter! My mom has one and she uses it all the time! I love the idea of putting candy apples on it. I'd also use it for hosting my first Thanksgiving. It would be perfect for serving whatever extra meat I would have to make since my Father-in-Law refuses to eat turkey :)

Robin Rozier

A pillar candle trio surrounded by a mix of un-shelled nuts. With a change of candle colors, this could take the tray from autumn to Christmas. Thanks for this super opportunity of a chance to win this beautiful piece!

Janie Wilbanks
2011-10-04

This pottery is beautiful alone, but could be used for numerous uses ,such as above or with dried flowers or herbs, a candle with rocks or noodles and would be more than beautiful.

Lynne Florczak

I would put this on a side table full of fun Halloween Candy. Beautiful and full of yummy delights. As i would pass the candy out i bet it catches the eyes of some moms too!

Mindy Fike
2011-10-04

I would fill the bottom with A/B crystals and insert candles for each season: Orange for the fall, Red/Green for Christmas, Blue for January, Pink for February, etc. The A/B crystals are known for catching the light and really sparkling, which would create an amazing centerpiece! We prefer low-lighting in our house, so it will sit front & center on our coffee table!

Anna Marie

My family loves bread with every meal from crescent rolls to French loaves. This would dress-up the table from the simple basket that we use.

SC Mel
2011-10-04

Since it's not foodsafe, I would place it in the center of the kitchen island and keep all of the clutter in it, creating the illusion that I am organized - nothing better than dressed up clutter.

I am really excited to use this platter the way it is displayed with the Herald Angel and Prism Glass Ornaments. I can't wait to order my Holiday Enhancement Kit!

Ashley R. Jones

I think I could do serve a cornish hen with some wild rice around it; use it to hold ornaments for Christmas; use it as a catch all for mail and/or keys. I could also place some fall leaves on it, and use some cute little pumpkins and/or gourds (real or synthetic) for fall decor; serve popcorn on it during a movie/game night; use it to house disposable napkins for restrooms...sooo many uses! This is why I LOVE Willow House!!

Linda S

This platter is deep enough to put a fall mum arrangement in. Keep it low by using a metal needle holder. Add a few mini pumpkins and you're good to go for that quick dinner with family or friends.
