A Plethora of Pumpkins!!

Fun with pumpkins today! I'm joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to show some metting pumpkins, as well as Flea Market Style Magazine for som thrifty finds.





Happy Fall!! Are you sick of pumpkins yet? I hope not. I have some metamorphoses, as well as a quick trip to the pumpkin patch.

Isn't this little punkin' cute? And how about the little bitty pumpkin she is holding!
These guys are relaxing in their pumpkin wagon.



Wonder Woman is trying to take them for a ride!




What?! A pumpkin thief?!



Don't ya love the sunflowers?

And the gourds.....


This pumpkin is as big as the wagon behind it - look!



There are orange ones.....


And green/gray ones (my favorites!).....


And white ones.......


And multi-colored ones......



I chose a little multicolored pumpkin.


Then I took this flea market large white ceramic stand and changed out the spring look (it's about time!).......



For the fall look with my white pumpkin, red leaves and a few grapefruit thrown in. (The grapefruit looked so yummy in the grocery today - it was an impulse buy!)



Check out the metamorphosis of these pumpkins......a pumpkin chick!




And these pumpkins make a pumpkin chap!




Hope you enjoyed this little trip to the pumpkin patch with a flea market makever and pumkin metamorphosis. Be sure to stop by for a visit with our charming hostess Susan and also Flea Market Style for some more great ideas and other participators in these fun parties. Happy Fall! Linda

All of the pictures are just wonderful. I wish we lived near a pumpkin patch. What fun the children looked like they were having. I love your multi-colored one. It looks great. Hugs, Marty

Went to the pumpkin patch last week and loved seeing all the different varieties of them. Took me back to when we used to take our son and enjoy a hayride and a cup of hot cider. Love your new fall look in your large compote dish.

Linda- The "redo" of your white stand is perfect for fall, but the best is the adorable "pumpkins" enjoying the real pumpkins!

I don't think there will ever be a day when I'm tired of pumpkins. : )

Looks like y'all had great fun at the pumpkin patch. The green/gray pumpkins are fabulous. My mom just came back from a trip with a large Cinderella pumpkin that she bought from an Amish farm for $3.00!!! Victoria and I both gave her what for for not bringing us back one.

Love your little fall touches.
