When we were getting ready to leave and she was filling plates of leftovers for everyone - she asked what I wanted.
Your pumpkin......I said
And out we walked with it ( plus leftovers lol )
They made the holes with a drill bit for doors - 2 sizes - all over - took them all of 5 minutes apparently!
It looks pretty magical at night !
I even grabbed the faux leaves she had wrapped around the stem
And that little ceramic pumpkin and gourd in the background?
They were on her table and promptly went in Mama's purse
( I'm ok taking knick knacks out of my kids houses - they take furniture out of mine ! )
I've had that lantern for years and years - never dawned on my that it's kind of pumpkin shaped !
The flowers that were in this bicycle plant stand died this week so the timing was perfect to plop a pumpkin inside
The poor man's version of Cinderella's coach - in this version a coachman has to peddle his butt of to get her to the ball - not quite as glamorous I know but it's better then having to walk to a ball, right?
I've got another pumpkin coming up - for someone who never decorates for Fall - I'm sure on a roll
Somebody stop me !
Have a wonderful day everyone
Hugs,
Me

Super cute pumpkin, and it's perfect for sitting in the little bike! My daughter knows by now, to just go ahead and buy two of things, cause I will certainly go collecting at her place too! :) ~Rhonda
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda ! She actually did buy 2 each of the ceramic pumpkins and gourds - so I didn't feel that guilty LMHO !!!
Deletexoxo
That pumpkin is just about as cute as can be. How's the grand baby? Did he sleep through Thanksgiving dinner?
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin is so cute and I love it in your little bike. Adorable! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving all together.
ReplyDeleteKris
Love that pumpkin! I would have taken it home too!
ReplyDeleteI love the pumpkin! Something I've thought of doing but never did. Your fall display looks wonderful and I think Cinderella would be proud to ride on the bicycle to meet her prince. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteCongrats...a bit of orange...and that is a cool idea, I love the Polka Dots. I have a bottle of black sequin paint sitting to dot one of mine...maybe I will get it done by Halloween. Time is flying by and I'm still missing my Halloween totes...grrrrr. Thanks for the share, Sandi
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandi - there's more color out there then I've ever had in my life LOL !
DeleteStart working on that pumpkin - there's only 2 weeks left !
xox
I can just imagine you going thru the house! haha
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin is perfect for your porch. I have yet to decorate my porch because the pumpkins will rot in this heat. I don't feel like dragging all the faux ones out of storage, but I might have to, Is your door yellow yet? ;)
xoxo, T.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving ! Love the pumpkin !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Pati !!!
Deletexox
I knew you would eventually get roped into the FALL DECORATING routine. lol Google pumpkins with holes---there are some amazing ones out there!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd say you're getting all decked out for Fall; if you're ready for it or not.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful evening
What a great idea, to drill holes in a pumpkin! And it is certainly ok for mom to take a few goodies! That pumpkin shaped lantern is perfect for the vignette! xoKathleen
ReplyDeletePretty as a pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteyou.crack.me.up! Oh my gosh, I can't believe you're still going on Fall decorating! You must have gotten bit by something...LOL. And then to take it from your daughter's - too funny! (Plus the other stuff). :o) Love the pumpkin in the bike planter and it looks so pretty lit up! Can't wait to see the other pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteHey, I finally painted my table and chairs! They look great!
hugs
That is a great idea! The best part is that out in my garden I have a little old trike that belonged to my Mom, would be perfect to display one of my pumpkins. I'm copying your idea, Mama would have loved it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy October!
Jules@Halloweenistic.com
I've been looking for the perfect little trike for my garden - lucky you - and a pumpkin would be perfect sitting on top of it !!!
DeleteThanks Julie
xox
Hi Susan, I took a break for a bit. II was laughing about you swiping from your daughter. I like that lantern
ReplyDeleteCindy
I'm a pumpkin addict myself and I love this idea! I love polka-dots too, so this is absolutely perfect. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I do love the ceramic pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteOh how cute! I've seen the holey pumpkins before and I'm glad you reminded me. I'm going to do this!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pumpkins you spirited away from your daughter! I also love that old lantern--it does resemble a steam punk pumpkin! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll decorating for Fall for someone who has been complaining to put the brake on the seasons.
I do love Fall because, of course, we HAVE NONE!! I haven't mustered the energy to even get the Fall decorations out because I sweat so much,(excuse me, meant to say PERSPIRE), in 100+ temps I get weak! Plus I cannot get into the Fall or Halloween mood with 105 temps!
So I am living vicariously through you and your lovely pictures with the AC on and a fan blasting on my back.
Good goin'--show me some more before I pass out from dehydration or we have to evacuate for a fire storm!
A bientot!
Laura, et al
You're still at 105 temps Laura?
DeleteOMG - ok that's a little too much - the pumpkin would turn to mush in a day or two sitting outside LMHO !!!
I hope you back up air conditioning and fans LOL
Stay cool - ( I'm trying to stay warm )
A bientot a vous aussi !!! ( look at you - all bilingual like :)
XOX
Mais oui, Cherie! Vous avez raison! Il faut practiquer mon Francais.
DeleteIt really is the perfect Cinderella coach!! Glad you had a wonderful family filled turkey feast Suzan! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteI love your displays, and the pumpkin idea is great! Glad to find and follow you from the Roll Link Party :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lisa !!!
Deletexxx
That is adorable!! I always love something that is a bit different and not the norm!! Would be beautiful on our porch. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jamie - I thought it was so original - but someone told me to google pumpkins with holes - HOLEY cow there's some gorgeous ones out there !
ReplyDeletexox
Fabulous! I love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the pumpkin!! Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. Our temps are finally cooler and it feels like Fall here now.
ReplyDelete~Cindy
It looks great! Love it lit up! Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteCutest pumpkin ever! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pumpkin!!!
