Fall Pumpkin Joy


It's Fall Ya'll
 Hubby went with me to enjoy the fall colors this weekend, I chose some pumpkins for a quick display which I will teach you!
 More pumpkins, the town of Highlands, NC was decorated up!

This was one big pumpkin in the town center
Have you been out and about and seen some flowers that were crying your name.  Well, I saw these beautiful hydrangea's in a beautiful color.  I mentioned to hubby I would love some of those.  He pulled right in the driveway of a dentist office up for rent and deadhead some.  They needed some care didn't they... 

 Well on to the pumpkin dress up!  I got some heirloom pumpkins

Some spray fixatif

 Spanish Moss and beautiful succulents

My assistant and I sprayed our petite pumpkins with the spray glue and added our moss

 Put the moss down and then start adding your succulents   It will not hurt to spray down the succulents, the idea is that the succulent will start to put down roots in the moss.  We added until we got the look we liked.  Hubby got an old piece of wood we picked up earlier this year and we nestled the pumpkins in the tray.


I Love the look, yes that is hubby in the picture at last halloween's fun day at the corn maze

 Grandson picked up these picks at the fun garden shop and I couldn't resist getting a heirloom bumpy green pumpkin!  I'll show you more tomorrow 



 My sweet peach pumpkin turned out great and looks wonderful in the family room, Oh I love Fall!


 Have some fun with succlents, they are a very hardy plant, and it makes such a fun project with your kids (and I am meaning me and the Hubby!!).  Have a great week...and don't forget my give away

Thankful Giveaway

Yes, I am very Thankful for all my Blogger Friends.  So I am having a quick giveaway!
I recently found a great burlap drape panel at an estate sale.  It had never been used.  I wanted a fall window treatment for the basement door.  Since it is the only window we have in that room, I like a little light to show through.  The long version hid that light.  So I cut it!
I shared my Fall Banner Tutorial here.  And wanted to make so variations.  In the stairway leading to the basement I made a BOO banner with Blood Red lettering (Burgundy paint).








 So on to the giveaway!  My leftover material from my curtain was use to make a THANKFUL banner for Thanksgiving.
 I will include a heavy twine and you will be able to hang it anywhere.  My will go on my fireplace mantel.  I loved using these letters, very old style
 So for an entry
