Fall-themed week


The weather finally feels crisp and breezy (perfect for wool sweaters!), so I'd love to do fall-themed posts this week. To kick things off, here are four ways to decorate pumpkins, including making them gold. Wouldn't they look pretty on a mantle or a dinner table?

  10. this is such a fun idea.. i'm so original with pumpkins (just your basic carving and baking the seeds) so i never really thought about doing something like this. i love it though!

  15. What fabulous ideas. If it was a cooler fall and the pumpkins made it through November, my mother would paint the pumpkins silver and gold put ribbons on them and use them for Christmas decorations.
