Last Friday, my mom, the girls, and I went out to the pumpkin farm. It was a beautiful day (after many raining ones) so we thought we'd better take advantage of it. We had such a cool August that a lot of the pumpkins were still green!
I was finally able to get a picture of Daphne without her plugging her nose! Oh thoses farm smells... ;o)

I displayed their pumpkins on our front steps. A friend of ours from church gave me the vintage milk jug this past summer. (Thanks Betty!) I thought it made a great pedestal for the pumpkin. I've been making a few decorations for Halloween this year - the boo banner is one.
Besides Christmas, I've never been one to decorate seasonally. I decided to change that this year since I've been so inspired by others who do, especially so many out here in blogland. This is what I put together on our coffee table.
I made the party hat for the little jack-o-lantern
I was inspired by this artist and created a polka dot pumpkin adorned with a baby holding his kitty in a jack-o-lantern.
My flirty eye doll head needed a party hat too.
Stella (the dress form) was crowned Miss Oct. 31st! hehe
I even bought some faux gourds to put in my apothecary jar. I'm totally stepping out of my pink comfort zone here people! hehe
Overall, I like the change of having a bit of Halloween around the house.I guess I can handle a little orange for a month or two. hehe

I like all your decorations. You should make this your routine, not only with Christmas, because it is all beautiful! I like the baby with the polka dot pumpkin, I like the orange Miss 31st...mmm I forgotten the word, that banner that your dressforms wear as a real Miss. Well I like it all and with creamy white and black having the main part, we can cope with a little orange cannot we? Btw Halloween is already in some days more than a fortnight and then up to the pink and Christmas again?!
I just LOVE your painted pumpkin! The white one with the black polka-dots.. very cute!!!

I really like your Halloween decor. The baby picture is great and I absolutely love the dress banner- so creative! (I also must say that the dress itself is divine.)
