fall
Just when you start to feel a little nip in the air
nature heats up her colors
But the true star of the season is the lowly pumpkin
Pumpkins and Gourds are an inexpensive way to
warm up your seasonal decor
Thought I'd share some of the fabulous things you can do with them for Fall/Halloween
(whether real or faux)
Hope it inspires you!

something rather special
both real and faux pumpkins can be carved
WARM WELCOME
I love this display -
rusty urns, black lanterns,
grapevine and wood pumpkins with real and faux pumpkins
and scattered autumn leaves
spell welcome in a big way
I love them tucked in unexpected places
or elevated as a beautiful centerpiece
beribboned and bejeweled
or filling a centerpiece
fall's bounty is beautiful....
DECORATED
with hardware - nailheads, hinges and metal keys
more nailheads and metal studs
beads and vintage jewelry adorn this 'bewitched' pumpkin
paper mache'd with newsprint or paperback pages
or topped with a witch's hat
Pumpkins - whether plain or embellished,
carved, painted or lighted
the pumpkin is the icon of fall
Not to mention one of its quintessential flavors!
The season is upon us, and its beautiful!
Fill your home with color!
Super fun post! I am a nut for pumpkins during the fall season, I have all sorts of baskets and candles that I love to decorate with. And I love taking the boys to the patch each year. I was thinking of trying to vinyl a pumpkin this year since our carved ones rot so quickly in humid Houson. I can't remember one cold Halloween here! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, my friend.
ReplyDeleteTam, you might have success with vinyl on a faux pumpkin - the surface is a little less waxy!
ReplyDeleteHi Claudine--Love all the varied display of pumpkins. Fall is my favorite time of year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these wonderful ideas. I absolutely loved them. Fall is my most favorite time of year and I LOVE the colors of fall, as my home is decorated in that theme.
ReplyDeleteTake care and again, thank you.
