I really did manage to thin out some of the fall decorations this year and kept just what I loved. I thought these ceramic pumpkins in the same hue as the crocks just belonged together.
My lineman did most of the decorating. He waits till I go outside with the chickens or something and then keeps re-arranging things.
Then if I don't really like the way he did something, I wait until he goes to work and tweak it if I think it needs changes.
But the best decorating for fall this year is this awesome pumpkin that I GREW MYSELF. Yes, on my gardening bucket list for many years and now I have succeeded in growing a few pumpkins in my city yard. Ain't she a beaut??
I believe it is a Cinderella pumpkin. I have to find the seed packet. I have several more that are still getting the orange color in the garden. Hope to pick them soon.
Sunny Simple Sunday will be up this afternoon so come back and link up what you have been up to.
Love your pumpkin! Maybe I'll try to grow some next year for my Grandson!

Neither of you is to tweak another thing! It's all perfect as it is. Congrats on growing the pumpkin! I find them very difficult to grow and usually wind up buying mine. ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!!I love that he helps you out with the decorating...my husband would probably cough up a hairball instead of helping me decorate!!
ReplyDeleteThe girls and I were wanting to grow our own pumpkins as well... what time of year did you plant yours? I love you pumpkin...how very pretty!!

Love your "real" pumpkin -- it's a perfect shape! I have the same white ones that you do, and love them! And those pumpkin bowl fillers-- sweet!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, I am delighted that you grew that beautiful pumpkin. How cool is that? xo, olive
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely pumpkins and fall charm! I adore that little patchwork owl I kept getting a glimpse of... so cute! I would love to see him close up! Happy weekend ♥
ReplyDeleteI think your pumpkin should win first prize in a beauty contest!! We grew our firsts this year too (little Baby Boos) and have yet to harvest. Love your fall decor too! :)
ReplyDeleteLove those ceramic pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteBetween the both of you, you're doing a great job! That's funny to hear he does that.

Your pumpkin is beautiful! I'm so envious. If I had a single bit of sun on this shaded lot, I would grow those too. How awesome for your kids to grow up with a mom like you :)
ReplyDeletexo, Andrea
Oh, my gosh! That pumpkin is amazing. It looks like a fake one. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on that home grown pumpkin! We just don't have much luck with growing them. Like the way you say you "tweak" those decorations.:)
ReplyDeleteHave a pleasant fall evening!
You 2 make a good team...it all looks great! I love your REAL pumpkin...it is so pretty it almost looks fake. I love the colors of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job...I need to get busy here with the Fall decor.
Oh hey Elaine!
ReplyDeletecan't believe I almost missed your pumpkin!
You did it...you grew one!
I think it looks fantastic, too.
I also think it is endearing that your lineman like to tinker around with the decor in your home. You've said that before...and it is sweet. It makes me smile! I'm sure it makes you smile bigger. :)
...he's a closet Decorator, (not to be confused with a CLOSET decorator) ;) Pat
Your Fall decorating looks wonderful and your pumpkin is gorgeous! I love it, I need to grow one of those next year, what fun it would be.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
I plant those pumpkin seeds every year and get to the vine stage and then forget to keep them watered. Oh well, maybe next year. Great decorations, love your pumpkin.

Love your Fall prims plain and simple..everything looks great!! I've been going thru my stuff trying to keep only what I love...just wanting a more simple look.

Nice pumpkin. I just have to go and pick mine. There is one only. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour lineman is a keeper if he helps you decorate ~ wow ~ you are one lucky lady. Your cinderella pumpkin is just beautiful ~ bravo ~ great job!
ReplyDeleteI get a kick out of the thought of you and your sweetie rearranging the decor behind each others back! lol. Too cute! I love the pumpkin, I tend to prefer the pumpkins that aren't the typical round ball of orange, Cindarella pumpkins are one of my favorites:>)
ReplyDeleteI love your pumpkin - it looks just like Cinderella's carriage!
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin certainly is a beauty, Elaine! And I love the way you've decorated your home for Autumn.
