October has brought a definite chill to the air, putting me in a decorating mood. As you've come to know from visiting my blog, I love exploring new ideas for taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. Which I accomplish through the inspiration provided by visiting your lovely blogs.
Nothing says "FALL" like these...
PUMPKINS!
The versatility of pumpkins in any fall decor is endless.
I've only got one problem...
sometimes the pumpkins can start to look a little sad before the seasons end.

Violet Skiles
has the perfect solution!
Pumpkin Toppers
Flowers, leaves, pearls, frame charm.....what more could you ask for?
Reusable, perhaps?
Yes they are!
Violet has a beautifully illustrated tutorial at her blog for creating your own Pumpkin Topper. Please stroll on over for a visit. She's just as charming as her art!

Your fall decor is such an inspiration. I love pumpkin toppers and made one for my family room fireplace a few years ago. I love the possiblities with them. I really love the pumpkin on the plantar pedestal. Fall also brings me to the decorating mood and redoing everything in site. LOL!!
I hope you enjoyed your summer blogacation and now back to blogland again.
I would love to enter your wonderful giveaway too. The tall jar is gorgeous and anyone would be blessed to win.
Have a great evening and see you again soon.

Thanks for coming by to see me too. I am working on my Wordfilled Wednesday post. Come back tonight to see. It kind of goes with the flower.
Have a Blessed Day.
I just found your blog and I really like it. Did you design your header? I love how it turned out. It's unique and kind of vintage-y. It's really original.
Have a great day!
About the Moscato..I say I think that's a definite yes to add to the Autumn punch! I don't see why not in fact, it sounds great!! Let me know how it turns out. :)
Oh and as far as the crisps go...they actually did not stay crispy..they were more "chewy". :)

The jar is beautiful Sara! I would love to have that for the holidays and other special events. Please put my name in. I posted the picture and link on my sidebar.
Thank you!

I hope your leaf balls turn out okay. You could probably use the preserved waxed leaves. They won't deteriorate like real leaves will. So, keep me apprised of what you do.
I really don't know if anyone eats the buckeye nuts. I've never seen recipes using them, and no one has ever said they are even edible! I'll have to check it out. I just like to display them. There are several varieties out there- but I really don't know much about them except that I like their looks! *grin*

I would love to be part of this one, so please count me in?
I love those pumpkin toppers, too. Thanks so much for the link!
BTW, I found you through Sullivan & Murphy's blog & wanted to tell you that buckeyes are NOT edible. Yucky & poisonous (or so I was told, as a child)

Feel free to use the hocus pocus graphic. I think I got her from the Graphics Fairy and I added the hocus pocus part, so you may want to credit the Fairy instead! I can't wait to see what you have planned for your new blog, it can be so addicting! Have a great night and I will visit again soon!
What a generous giveaway, please count me in!
Love the floral pumpkin toppers!

What I miss about the house (cabin) I live in now is there is little room for decorating. So sad.
And anything I try to leave on the porch gets blown away by the furious winds of Alberta.
Thanks so much!!
