Hello everyone, I hope your week has
gotten off to a great start!
Today we are talking pumpkins.
What do you do with them?
I love to decorate with them. Mr. Ken
and I made a quick stop at this
pumpkin stand two Saturdays ago.
I really like the white ones.
I got one and turned it into
a Boo pumpkin by adding
features.
Here are some other ideas
when using pumpkins:
1. Carving several for your porch.
2. Make pies, cake or bread.
3. Clean the seeds and roast them.
Yum!
4. Turn a cleaned out pumpkin into
a soup tureen.
5. Roast or grill pumpkin.
6. Turn a cleaned out pumpkin into
a centerpiece with flowers tucked
inside.
7. Of course, decorating with them
is fun. I put mine on my deck and
front porch. If you don't carve yours
most will last till Thanksgiving.
The small ones are great on tables
and mantels.
Some go a step further with theirs
and they decorate them:
Melted crayons dipped down the
sides.
Some paint theirs.
Mod podge with pretty paper napkins.
There are endless ideas for changing
a typical pumpkin into something
different.
Those crazy kids amid A LOT
of pumpkins. Mr. Ken asked
the gal at the stand how many
pumpkins they had and she told
him that they unloaded around
2,000 pumpkins!
As usual we had a great time
wandering through the pumpkins
and choosing the "right" ones for
our house. We have one more
pumpkin trip to make because
I feel that one can NEVER have
enough pumpkins!
See you Wednesday!
~Keep on Dreaming~
What a fun outing! I haven't picked up pumpkins yet so I need to get on it. We don't carve them but use them to decorate and add color to the porch and end of the driveway with the mums.
ReplyDeleteThose are definite signs of Fall for sure! Love to have both on my porch.

I love pumpkins. I make pumpkin smoothies and though they're not as good as Starbuck's they are tasty and a lot less expensive. Happy autumn!
ReplyDeleteHappy Autumn to you also!
DeleteI bet your smoothies are
great.

That's a lot of pumpkins! Makes me think of Charlie Brown! Thanks for all the uses!
ReplyDeleteOh yea! I love that show. Need to find out when it will be on.

One year I tied rafia on the stems and then lightly sprayed the top of the pumpkin with gold spray paint. They looked so pretty in the sunlight. Hmmm. I may have to do this again.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds pretty!
ReplyDeletePost pics if you do.
