Pumpkin Stand

“I am made for autumn. Summer and I have a fickle relationship, but everything about autumn is perfect to me. Wooly jumpers, Wellington boot, scarves, thin first, then thick, socks. The low slanting light, the crisp mornings, the chill in my fingers, those last warm sunny days before the rain and the wind. Her moody hues and subdued palate punctuated every now and again by a brilliant orange, scarlet or copper goodbye. She is my true love.” - Alys Fowler.

I don’t think I could describe my love for fall any better then the above quote. There is a mood in the air in the fall, a feeling like no other. This year while I wanted to keep the décor simple I also wanted it to be fun. The plant stand has been one of the best things that we have bought for the house. It has provided me solace in a dark season of my life. I thought it needed a fall makeover.

I was able to find real pumpkins last weekend and that started the ball rolling on this fun project. The plant stand is going to be our pumpkin stand this year. Have you ever been to a pumpkin farm and seen the stands where they sell all different kinds of pumpkins?

As a pumpkin lover I can never have to many, is it possible? My sweet husband had to remind me that it is only September so I should take it slow bringing real pumpkins home(hence why this is only part one). In the next month or so I m hoping to add just a few more pumpkins to truly make this the pumpkin stand of my dreams. Thank you so much for visiting the blog today, I truly appreciate it.
