One Holiday at a Time.......Pumpkin Love!

I know...I know...I have not blogged since August! I am hanging my head in shame.....

Well I'm back...and so excited to share my new found resolve!  I am going to enjoy "one holiday at a time" and I think we should make this a national movement! ;-)

This year as I was shopping, window shopping of course....wink, wink, I noticed that Christmas merchandise was out in September.  Now I understand that for DIYers, Crafters and Artists we need access to some supplies that are holiday related BUT I am talkin' about Made in China glitter and glitz displayed in September.....please!

Anyway, today we are going to celebrate pumpkins....and I hope to inspire you to create, rummage, treasure hunt and decorate for "one holiday at a time"!

My 2011 pumpkin creations made from vintage music, styrofoam type pumpkins and Collage Pauge. I finished them off with rhinestones and sheer black ribbon....I used the matte Collage Pauge but next time I will use the glossy. It is a little harder to work with but I like the results better....regardless they turned out magical. They can be found in Heart and Hands on Historic Main Street in Franklin, TN.

My 2010 pumpkin creations made using colorful cotton and batik fabrics using the NancyDeliz eBook pattern on Etsy....I really enjoyed making these and WILL make more!  Next time in velvet....I found some great vintage velvet clothes at Goodwill to repurpose for this project!! There are a couple of these left in my J'Aime Vintaje booth at Harpeth Antique Mall.

I am absolutely enamored with these and have plastered them all over my eWorld!  They are from LeFadedFleur on Etsy and I think they are SO ROMANTIC!

I included these as "Today's Inspiration" on the Nov. 7 J'Aime Vintaje Facebook page.  They were featured as one of 12 fall projects on the Homepodge.com blog.  They are originally from Two Shades of Pink and I love the textures!!

I hope you are inspired....remember to enjoy "one holiday at a time" and have a wonderful day!
