White Pumpkins

Good morning!  🙂  I hope you all had an awesome weekend.  I spent all of mine with family, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So…Fall decor.  I can’t not talk about it, given the season.  I have been seeing a ton of chic little white pumpkins all over Pinterest, and I gotta say, I love them!

What’s not to love about them?  Especially these — how pretty are they with that orange stripeyness?

A strategic pile of white and milky green pumpkins.  Makes my heart sing.

I love this vignette.  So much variety and texture here!  And those perfectly imperfect pumpkins make this that much more interesting.  Character is key for a layered effect!

Oh yeah.  White gourds and leafy greens.  Super organic, modern, and unexpected.

I just think this is stunning and I’ve decided that this my favorite.  The whole flowers-in-a-pumpkin thing is a DIY I want to try.  But this is a striking color combination, no?

I think more than anything, Fall makes me want to decorate with tons of organic texture.  This tablescape does not fall short in that department!

Can I please have two favorites?  This is insane!!!

Hope you have had a great start to your week!

The Fall Food Table

Get-togethers are an essential part of this time of year, and thus comes the inevitable decor surrounding the food!  Tablescapes are one of my favorite things about entertaining, and though I have yet to cook my first Thanksgiving feast on my own, I’m dreaming about a table filled with yummy appetizers and main courses, and perhaps a pumpkin or two.

I love this idea — just cut off the stems of any pumpkin you like the shape of (faux will work here, too!), and you’ve got really cute, ready-made trays.  I also notice the breadsticks in a silver pitcher.  So pretty!

A pile of pumpkins and some really great pewter or silver accents becomes that much cozier when strategically placed by a roaring fire.  🙂  The added touch of fall foliage injects some great texture.

How cute is this?!  Galvanized fluted pie plates pair well with the striking orange color of the pumpkins and the fall-inspired bouquet.  The pile of pinecones and acorns below add just a bit more to the country feel.

That, my friends, is a pumpkin with a face.  Hilarity ensues.  I kind of love his all-knowing smirk.  I think it’s safe to say that any guest, young or old, would love this guy.

And that?  That is beef stew…in a pumpkin.  Follow the link for the recipe.  I think this is a genius idea, however, serving immediately would be pretty urgent.  Although, something tells me that a pumpkin’s belly is pretty well insulated…
