Pumpkin Centerpiece

Pumpkin
I mentioned that we got our first pumpkin last week.

Pumpkin
I set it on a doily and the cake plate Linda gave me a few weeks ago.

Table
And set it between two candles for a quick and easy centerpiece!

Candle light makes things more cozy this time of year.

Thank you for taking a look!

Kelli,

I just love decorating with pumpkins and gourds. I usually get a few big pumpkins and put them on the fireplace hearth. I never carve them on Halloween. :)

I'm sorry to say that I accidentally put your last comment as spam and it went far away to the netherworld. I tried to retrieve it but could not figure out how. I am hoping it was just one comment and that you aren't "spam" forever. Oh gosh.

I love how it all looks! I'm just not ready to begin turning things into fall...at least not until the 22nd :)

I need to have leaves falling, wind blowing, and early darkness to make me start thinking of fall.

Jen said...

I lit a candle while I cleaned yesterday because that is what you do....I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks so much for such great advice. You dont know how much we enjoy it.

Love it! And I love that tablecloth, too! :-) May I ask if it is cloth or vinyl and where you got it?

Kelli! Great minds think alike! My pumpkin is sitting on my cake plate too! Of course when I bought yours, I had to get one for me too!

Glad to see you enjoying it!

Hi Kelly! I wanted to tell you that I went to the Dollar Store and bought a couple of those candles. You are so right.....they smell wonderful. Thanks for telling where you got them.

Hope you and your family have a good Tuesday. :-)

I really like the table linen and the pumpkin is just perfect. Great idea.

Deb said...

Hi Kelli,
Love the look! I'm slowly getting there. Last night I tried to "force" fall with a big pot of soup and grilled cheese, but alas, the temperature was still over 80 when I looked! I'm off to make some cards:)

Charlotte said...

Hi Kelli. I've enjoyed catching up on your blog. The pumpkin and other decorations in your home are great for fall. I like the new fall look of your blog also.

TJ said...

This was beautiful! While our mornings are cold the afternoons are still in the 80's so I almost feel as if I'm rushing Fall. I have found myself many times while looking through my meager Fall decor "What would Kelli do?" You inspire me!

Lois Christensen said...

Love the pumpkin! My husband and I were talking yesterday about getting some in a few days. I love this time of year...just wish the weather would cooperate with my yearning for fall! Enjoyed the pictures.

Danielle said...

I love pumpkins, the warm glow of candles is so pretty as well.

I like to display some of my knitted pumpkins every year :)

Julie said...

We have 13 pumpkins just waiting to be picked--your idea was simple and sweet. julie

Dawn said...

I am ready for fall but I don't think Texas is as far as the weather is concerned. :-)
Have you been the Hobby Lobby or Cracker Barrel lately? They have all their fall and Christmas stuff out. It's like Heaven on earth when I walk into places like that. I can't get dragged out of there until I look at everything...lol.

When you are done with your pumpkins do you make pumpkin pie or bake the seeds or what do you do with it?

Hope you are having a good week!

Hugs,
Dawn

Kelli, it's beautiful, especially the candles in the dim light. I am always amazed you have wonderful ideas and share them.

Have a wonderful evening!

This is so pretty, Kelli!

I was at Wal Mart today and saw they had pumpkins and gourds on sale. Made me so excited for Fall!

A question..is that your house in your blog header?

Laurie said...

That is such a cute idea! I have a few fake pumpkins, but nothing beats the real deal. You are right about candles, they instantly add "cozy" to a room.

Angie Vinez said...

This is SO gorgeous. I just love decorating for fall! Thanks for all the great tips!

By the way - I nominated your blog for an award! Get the details here: http://angiesfifth.blogspot.com/2008/09/ive-received-i-love-your-blog-award.html

This is so pretty Kelli. Simplicity is so often the nicest way to go, I think. Especially with natural things.
