Since we didn't want to leave empty-handed, we bought a bunch of small pumpkins & gourdes which I used as centerpieces in our house.
I used a hurricane glass & filled it with mini pumpkins & put it on our bookcase.
This is a trifle dish that I filled with small pumpkins & gourdes. One of the gourdes looks like a monkey's butt & the other looks like a warlock's (male witch) ding-a-ling! Both items are very appealing & attractive as a center piece for our kitchen table, no?
And here is an array of rotting pumpkins, baking under the warm Florida sun! Happy Fall!
I thought this was the ugliest yet coolest pumpkin I've ever seen.
Cute idea with the mini pumpkins! I think I'll try that.
ReplyDeleteI like the mini pumpkins too! I have baskets up the wazoo that I could fill with gourds and mini pumpkins! Unfortunately, the pumpkins in Florida aren't very impressive. Honestly, we visit a pumpkin patch every October but rarely ever buy anything big enough to carve. I must confess we buy our carvers at Sam's or Walmart for $5 or less. Hunsader's had some nice larger pumpkins but they were pricey!
ReplyDeleteholy schnikes! those are sick!! why can't you get better ones there? the monkey's butt and ding a ling comments made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteFlorida just isn't an ideal climate for pumpkins to grow & thrive! I'm sure we will get our carving pumpkins at Walmart, Mel. We're doing a pumpkin carving party on Friday night!
