I really like pumpkins. They just look happy to me and each one is different. What other vegetable gets the pleasure of decorating our lives for three whole months? That's the great part about it. Pumpkins can be displayed all Fall, from Sept.through Nov.
A very large pumpkin sits on a chippy cement flower pot throne.
How did I put this planter together? First, I removed the spent summer plants from the planters. I also removed a little of the dirt, and added a grapevine wreath, (this gives the pumpkin a place to sit). I stuck in a few sprigs that I cut from my German Statice plant. German statice is a bushy plant that dries in perfect condition. You can buy a bunch at most craft supply stores.
Miniature pumpkins stuck into pots with blooming flowers add such great color.
Farmers markets and even grocery stores carry gourds in many shapes and sizes. I picked up a few miniature gourds and pumpkins and placed them in my favorite black tiered centerpiece.
Happy Pumpkin hunting to you all, and hope you too will share some of your pumpkin decor!

Smoochies,

I totally agree with you about pumpkins, I love 'em. Like you, I've got a couple of urns at the entrance to my front porch and pretty soon (like within the next day or two) it will be out with the flowers and in with the pumpkins!

I enjoyed seeing all of your pumpkins and gourds. You did a great job with the planter. It looks great.
Beautiful pictures. :) Your photos are so professional looking. I love the first one with the statice. :) I am SO ready for fall and the Holidays this year. :)
You know, we don't decorate here for the seasons apart from Christmas that is! Sad isn't it!. We certainly don't get giant orange pumpkins like that! I love to eat pumpkin however, although have never had pumpkin pie! Isn't statice such a great plant to grow, very good to have on hand! Have a great weekend. Rachaelxo

I love the colorful pumpkins and gourds in your black tiered bowl. The bright colors against the dark background really make a pop! I plan on decorating this weekend myself.
I love pumpkins too. Your photos are lovely. I grew my own pumpkins this year, white and orange, along with calico corn and gourds. Turned out to be quite fun and my yard looks fabulous!
Hi Ele! Just had to come have a peek...LOVE your new look....it's so very pretty! Your big ole punkin makes me wish for 'for real and for true' Fall....I surely miss that unmistakable crispness in the air and all the spectacular color. =0] xoxo
Wow. You are so creative. Your blog drove me to distraction with a desire to make something pretty.
Cute kitty!
I am going to get some pumkins now that I see how great they look.
