All Things Pumpkin- 11 Awesome Pumpkin Ideas!

Oooh, I can feel the air getting just a bit cooler every day! OK, maybe it’s wishful thinking, but my wreath is on the door, and mums on the porch. Several pumpkins purchased, but it is still a little warm here to put them outside. Have I mentioned… I LOVE PUMPKINS?! Orange ones, white ones… even those weird green-colored ones!

So… in keeping with all this anticipation, I want to share 11 great ideas focusing on pumpkins!

Who doesn’t adore this look from Pottery Barn for an entry or a wedding? Wouldn’t you just love to see beyond?? This scene certainly draws you in!
