BOHEMIAN PUMPKINS

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

One of my favorite accessories in my kitchen is my demijohn cloche.  It fits perfectly on to my gold leaf column base.  Most days I have some faux pears under the cloche, but for the Fall, I changed it up by adding some hand-painted bohemian pumpkins.  These mini pieces of art were painted by my talented friend Leila, @leiloutadesigns.

I thought you'd like to see them without the cover.

I brought one to my daughter for her mantel.

I'm going to try to dry the mini pumpkins and save them.  

Have you ever dried a pumpkin?

PAINTED PUMPKINS

 I'm not much of a seasonal decorator, but I do love a unique painted pumpkin.  A few years ago I purchased a bohemian painted pumpkin from Leila, @leiloutadesigns.  Here's the pumpkin on my front porch.  I was so sad when I had to discard it.  If you'd like to see the full post, go here.

This year Leila is painting her bohemian style on faux pumpkins.  I can't want to get one.  She sells her vintage furniture and home decor @sweetcloverbarn  in Frederick MD, and @thepinkcottage in Ellicott City MD.

Another wonderful vintage shop is @hd_marigold in Towson, MD.  This fabulous store has a chinoiserie vibe that I love.  You must check it out on Instagram or follow on Facebook, here.  Of course, in addition to her bamboo and campaign furniture, her home decor always has a foo dog or a ginger jar in the mix.  She's a consistent source for seasonal decor too.

If you'd like your pumpkin monogrammed, you can do that too at HD Marigold.


I also want to share some painted pumpkins that I can only describe as art on a pumpkin.  I've just shown a few examples from the blog, The French Tangerine , but to see the full post, go here.

This next image has nothing to do with painted pumpkins, but I do love the velvet pumpkins and the rabbit with rhinestones.  Of course it's from my absolute favorite Tumblr blogger, The Visual Vamp.

Do you do seasonal decor?  What do you do for the Fall?
