Pretty Fall Pumpkins

Hello Friends!


I have been busy crafting and decorating for fall and I wanted to show you some of the fruits of my labor!
I covered 4 small foam pumpkins with old book paper and then distressed them. I added some ribbon, lace, tulle, and other embellishments to dress them up!

Aren't they pretty? I love how vintage and old fashioned they look. They are decorating my dining room table right now but I might move them to a more prominent place later.

Here are a few more pumpkins I made last weekend. They are fashioned from fabric and embellishments. This one above was actually cut from a tablecloth!!! They make great fabric for crafting!

It's hard to believe this beautiful little pumpkin used to be a tablecloth! This pumpkin looks like she's dressed for a wedding in all white and ivory. I love how it turned out!

This little pumpkin is made out of ivory velvet fabric. Isn't the rhinestone embellishment gorgeous!?

This is my dining room all decorated for the fall. I decided to go light this year. Last year I used browns, oranges, golds . . . the traditional fall colors. This year I wanted a fresh, different look so I decorated with ivory, white, and brown. I really love how the light colors really brightens the room . . . and my mood!

This is my glorious table scape. I was inspired by Rebecca and got busy creating my own version of a romantic fall table scape in all ivory and white. I am so delighted at how it turned out!! I can't wait to have a tea party and a romantic dinner here! James and I have decided to eat our spaghetti on TV trays in the living room, however, since marinara sauce could be very dangerous if eaten at this table!

I am so in love with ivory lace right now. I just can't get enough! Every time I see it anywhere I have to buy it, no matter what it is. I think I may need help!

See the sweet vintage pumpkins I created on the table? I don't know if I should move them or not? What do you think?

Here is the place setting. I spray painted some gold chargers white. They haven't held up very well. The paint didn't stick so well so I need to figure out what I need to do to fix that. I used my Pope Gosser Rose Point china this time. The white silk napkin is tied with tan silk ribbon and I added a wedding flower to embellish it up a bit. So feminine and romantic!!!

Here is my china hutch filled with more Rose Point dishes. It isn't too fussy this time. I didn't really know what else I could put in it other than some ivory pumpkins and some pine cones. Do you have any suggestions?

I found this beautiful thing at my favorite store in Guthrie called Rosa Bella. I buy something every time I go in. This and a few other treasures I will be showing you later are what I came out with this past trip. I am going to add more rhinestone embellishment to this to really make it sparkle. You will probably see it again with pink ribbon on it for Christmas!

I know it is a bit late and we are all over Halloween now but I couldn't resist showing you the pictures of our Halloween pumpkins for this year. They turned out so cute!

I think you all know that I am in love with one of the sweetest men alive. James is so kind, loving, and thoughtful. I love how we have so much fun together and that I can be myself with him. He is so giving and generous and he is always doing sweet things for me. I feel so blessed to have this wonderful man to share my life with.

Our pumpkins were pretty spooky on the front porch in the dark! It was too bad they only lasted about a week. But we had so much fun creating them and go to enjoy them for a while! At least we will have the memories forever!

I haven't taken pictures of the fall living room yet because the lighting hasn't been right, but they are coming. The living room is so pretty decorated in ivory, white, and brown. I am so excited for you to see!!! Hopefully I can post those pictures next weekend!

I hope you have a blessed weekend! Please leave me a comment, I love to hear from you all!

Blessings to you!

More Fall Pinks

Hello Friends,

I finished my Fall Pinks this morning and I wanted to show you how everything turned out! This is my dresser in my bedroom. I rearranged things a little and I think it is very sweet.

Aren't the pumpkins in this arrangement sweet! They are foam pumpkins on sticks and they were ivory when I bought them.

Here is a close-up. I love how they turned out!

Here is a darling shelf that is hanging on the wall in my bedroom. I love every thing about this shelf.

These sweet pink pumpkins are sprinkles with silver glitter, then I added tulle and bling. So sweet!

Isn't this pink princess the sweetest thing? When I brought her home she was not this ornate. I made her a skirt and a collar. I had to add ribbon and roses too!

I would like to give her a name but I'm not sure what to call her yet? Do you have any suggestions?

Isn't this the sweetest collage frame? It had an orange background for fall but I "pinked" it up.

I hope you enjoyed my sweet pink fall decorations. I had so much fun creating them! I also wanted to share so pictures of the fun time we had decorating Halloween sugar cookies.

James enjoyed watching his girls have fun making their cookies look pretty. He's decorating a bat cookie in this picture. I don't think it lasted long.

Miss Lucie has decided she is not smiling in pictures anymore. I hope this is just a phase because she has such a pretty smile. She is decorating a tombstone cookie and she put a big "L" on it in sprinkles. It didn't last long either!

Isn't Maggie the prettiest little girl? She is growing up so fast. She was decorating a cat cookie and it was so cute when she got it finished.

We used lots of spooky sprinkles on our cookies. The black and white skulls were a big hit.

I had a lot of fun decorating too! My favorite cookies to decorate were the pumpkins.

I really like this spooky ghost I did too!

The reason I liked the pumpkins so much was because I was able to cover them with PINK icing and pearl sprinkles. How sweet!

I was also busy last nigh creating these sweet baskets of Halloween goodies for my employees. I know they will be happy and surprised when they see them on their desks on Halloween morning. I had so much fun making them!

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my sweet fall and Halloween treats. Please leave me a comment if you have been inspired today.

I hope you have a blessed weekend and a Happy Pink Saturday!

Blessings to you!

Sneak Peek of Fall Pinks

Hello Friends!

I wanted to share some pictures of my Halloween cottage with you and then you'll set a sneak peek of the sweet pinks I have created for fall to decorate my bedroom and bath. Hopefully I can show you all of it soon!
My favorite part of the living room is the fireplace area. I love my banner and my wreath hanging on the mirror above the fireplace.

I also love the decorations on the dresser in front of my big picture window. You'll see that closer in the next picture.

I found that sign on the dresser at Hobby Lobby and I bought it for James. It says "If I had my live to do over again I would find you sooner so I could love you longer." Isn't that a great saying?

Here is my mannequin Molly all dressed up like a witch for Halloween. I love her darling costume!

One of my favorite things about Halloween is all of the yummy . . .

I decorated these wooden letters with scrapbook paper and lots of glitter and other embellishments. They sit on a shelf above my gigantic television set.

I think my Halloween cottage is just bootiful! What do you think?

Here is another look at the fireplace mantle. It is always my favorite part of decorating the living room. I think I do my best decorating there.

All of the decorations on the mantle are spooktacular!

The dining room got a Halloween makeover too!

My china hutch turned out as cute as ever. I love the black dishes with the candy corns on them. They are perfect for some Halloween treats!

The curio in the other corner is just as cute all decked out in black and white. I loved using the feather boas to decorate with.

Here is another close-up shot of the Halloween tree in my dining area. I really love it and I think it is so cute. It's really amazing to think that I hand-made every one of those ornaments. I wonder if people would buy these things?

I hope you have enjoyed the tour of the living room and dining area of my Halloween cottage. Now I want to show you some of my sweet pink creations! These items are in my bedroom and bath. I will be photographing those rooms for a later post. I'm not quite done with everything yet but when I am finished I will be sure to post the pictures!

Isn't this pumpkin fabulous with all of those pink pearls and gems? I had so much fun creating them.

Ok, now if this doesn't make you laugh, I just don't know what will. This is a crow wearing a witches hat. She was black and orange but after a few coats of ivory spray paint, some ribbon, roses, and glitter, she is one shabby bird! I think she is so cute and she makes me chuckle every time I see her!

Aren't these big candy corns just the cutest things? I made them out of clay then covered them with different shades of pink glitter. I was tickled pink at how they turned out!

I also made some tiny candy corns from clay and hand-painted each one. If you can believe it I ran out of glitter but they will get coated before the next showing!

These lovely pink pumpkins were plain white things when I bought them. So there's where all my glitter went!

That is just a sneak peek at the pretty pinks I made for fall. I have a few more projects I am still working on and then I will let you see the whole thing! I hope you have enjoyed what you have seen and you have been inspired today. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you liked best.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a blessed Pink Saturday!

Many Blessings to You!
