Decorating with Pumpkins

Wow...has it ever been a long time since I updated our blog.  The reason is not because I don't care, it's because we are expecting our second child, and the past few months have been pretty rough!  Now I must tell you my first pregnancy was a breeze, I didn't have one second of morning sickness whatsoever, however this pregnancy couldn't be more different.  I started having morning sickness week 4, I was also dealing with low blood pressure which was making me extremely light headed and fainting spells!  Now that I am in my 6th month I am feeling so much more like myself, albeit quite a bit larger in the tummy :)  But I am happy to tell you that I am back and will continue to update our blog on a more regular basis!  Thanks for sticking around, if you did :)

Now onto today's post!
I am not sure where you are located in this wonderful world, but where we are from, Ontario Canada, Fall is in full swing!  The leaves are changing colour the breezes are brisk and the pumpkins are ready to harvest.  There is no better way to decorate your homes indoors or outdoors, than with nature.  Branches, acorns, pine cones and of course PUMPKINS.  Below I have put together some Fall decorating ideas that use a variety of pumpkins and squash.

Enjoy!

There are endless options when it comes to painting your pumpkins.  You can do any colour and also incorporate stencils, ribbons and anything you have on hand to make a pumpkin look extra special.





Hollow out a squash and use it as centre piece.

Put a pair or panty hose or patterned nylons over your pumpkin.  This has to be the easy way to add elegance to your pumpkin!

Try twine, rope, yarn etc, to add a decorative element to your pumpkins

Why not use the endless number of buttons that you have collected over the years.
