I took this pic at the Home and Garden Show today. This is one of the giant pumpkins...about 4 ft square. It is hollowed out and carved on each side. I wonder how many hours of work went into the pumpkin. The inside lights don't show in the photo...but at night, it would be pretty fun.

Autumn Decoration

The weather is still summery, very lovely, sunny and warm. The pumpkins know better...they are ripening. Therefore...I decided to get out the three bins of fall decor from storage. I know...3 bins....in my defense, there are several large faux pumpkins in those boxes, and quite a bit of faux foliage, berries and bulky stuff. It was either that, or just wait for Christmas time decorations. Anyway girlfriends...it didn't take much time, and the fun stuff is out. The fireplace is great, I used the vintage silver champange bucket (See my 9/9/2012 post about it.) with an orange pumpkin. I think that bucket it is to become I favorite of mine...not to be boxed up most of the year. 

Vintage Autumn

Oh my! Time is getting away from me. It is October, and I haven't put up any of the fall decorations! I just found a vintage light-up a week ago. I must get with it.............

This is from the 1960's, cheap, old, funky stuff. I have several different ones. I don't really have any reason for a real, freshly grown pumpkin.
