Five Things I’m Loving This Friday ~ Pumpkins

While browsing the internet for pumpkin carving inspiration, I came across quite a few alternative ideas, that don’t involve carving at all.

Buttons……

…..and Lacy Fabric both from Better Homes and Gardens.

Simply stylish from Twig and Thistle

Spray Paint and Stencils from allyou.com

and finally, how about this for bling, from Madigan Made

I don’t think I would have the patience to entirely cover a pumpkin in drawing pins or thumb tacks, but I love the effect. Maybe a very small pumpkin.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a more conventional take on pumpkin decorating.

    I especially love the one with the border in the top right hand corner - isn't that chic?

    These are really lovely - we don't do Halloween but I could maybe take on some of these as home decor ideas :)
