Entertaining with Pumpkins!
Soooo, it’s that time of year again where we see the most bang for our creative buck! Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all rolled into fabulous centerpieces, decor, hanging art, and well you know: everything one can think of!
I have some great ideas to spice up your decor inside as well as outside. I also have a great pumpkin adult beverage to jump start your fall holiday just right. When I think of fall, I think of amber colored leaves, crisp air, fabulous boots, and cute sweaters. I also think of comfort foods and specialty drinks, like the simple recipe I will introduce you to. Fall is literally my favorite season, and this time of year is my favorite because to me, it means family, food, and fun!
Simple…yet elegant! A beautiful statement for your entryway! I love simplicity when it pertains to design because you can add and subtract components to change it up if you’d like.
I also LOVE a little accent here and there like these stunning pumpkins for your fireplace!
And of course a great table starts with awesome imagination and a perfect centerpiece! Add some greenery to your tablescape and you’ll have a beautifully decorated table for your guests.
Executed nicely! What do you think?
Have your kids help with artfully painting your pumpkins, small or large, with a chevron pattern, which keeps it updated and fresh for the new season! I absolutely love this!
Another cute and fun way to decorate is to dress them in little sweaters, I mean that has got to be the cutest? A half dozen of these could make a fabulous centerpiece on your table or fireplace or entryway. Chic!
My grandmother loved owls and it has made my love for owls that much more special. This is an excellent idea to carve and decorate a pumpkin for this fall. Really cool and yet so fresh and new. I love it and will try to incorporate this theme into my fall lineup. Now to that drink I promised……
It’s called the Great Pumpkin Punch and is very simple to make for you and your guests!
