Punkins, Punkins Everywhere...

I kinda like pumpkins...

they're round, and curvy, and cute... they're even a little funny

with their lumps, and warts and funny shapes

Been looking for the perfect white Cinderella pumpkin

  in fact i've been looking for white pumpkins everywhere

 i found a few big guys at Home Depot... 

and plopped a couple in the urns on my front porch...

tucked in a faux fleur, and some real ivy...

and there you have it...

I really liked this rusty colored flower against the white... what a yummy color combo

So much that i tucked some of this color in the wreath on the front door...

I have since removed it... the rust colored flower...

It's so funny about color

i do get enticed by it,

but often intense colors start to bother me, even if they're pretty 

i end up back with my creams and grays and neutrals, 

they seem so boring alone, like in a can of paint

but all grouped together, and in different textures

the creams, silvers, and linen colors are beautiful and subtle and very complex the way they play off each other with shadows and light

and they seem to calm my mind   

then of course, there is pink

that's my weakness

painted punkin with some wrinkly pink ribbon

even the punkins get a touch of pink

the pumpkin above started out like the ones in the photo below

good ole Annie Sloan took care of that multitude of oranges real fast

see that adorable gingham ribbon stamped with 'Paris'...

I LOVE it... and ordered it from Mary at the Etsy shop

Homestead Treasures

Here it is in her Etsy shop

how sweet is that!

I ordered a couple of styles of hand stamped ribbon from her, 

 they came in the mail so quickly, and were beautifully packaged with crinkly ribbon and a sweet little tag...

So thank you Mary, your ribbon is divine !

exactly as cute as your shop shows it to be

and as Forest Gump often said...

speaking of pumpkins that is...

"that's all i have to say about that"

...the end...
