Last time we checked in on my fall decorating, I had plopped a pumpkin in a dough bowl and called it a day.
A couple of days later, I went to the farmer’s market up the road for some apples and found the prettiest blue hubbard squash and a fresh kale plant. Neither were very expensive, so I picked them up. Then, on the way from my my shopping trip on Thursday, I passed a huge wagon overflowing with beautiful varieties of pumpkins, including the blue Cinderella’s, so I picked up two of those and some mini white pumpkins for $12. I mixed in some pine cones and dried artichokes from my basement to round things out.
So, now I have an arrangement in the dough bowl…
(I love how it looks like these two are nestling up together. I didn’t notice it until I was processing the pictures, but there’s something sweet about it.)
I put a few of the white pumpkins in a scale in the kitchen and we do have one little orange pumpkin that I accidentally grew out of our compost heap. That’s about the only kind of gardening that goes on in my yard. If anything is growing or looks good, it’s totally defying all the odds. Maybe one of these days I’ll get my act together in that department, but we can’t do it all, right?
My kids want to carve jack-o-lanterns, so we’ll pick up some more pumpkins in a couple of weeks, but other than that, I think I’m done with the fall decor.
The next three days I will be spending with some of my milk paint retailers in a training session. I’m really excited about getting to meet and know some of them better and getting some feedback from the “front lines” of those selling products with my brand on them. This is all a part of me acknowledging that this is a big thing.
I’m expecting it to be a very educational time for all attending…including me. I’ll definitely take some pictures and share anything exciting that happens…
