I think it's FINALLY here...


We've had rain, clouds and cool, almost cold wind the last few days and it sure seems like...

                              FALL IS HERE ♥ ♥ ♥

Daughter and I spent several days, out looking and buying fallish decorations,
making arrangements...wreaths...and drinking hot tea and eating cookies.
THE EPITOME of AUTUMN.

I've told you about my aversion to bright orange..
love the russets...burnt oranges, tho.

I bought PUMPKINS...


not ORANGE ones...

but golden, shiny and
full-of-bling ones.

I have to admit that my heart skipped a beat when I saw them...

ahhh, and don't ya know I love the largest one..
the way it tilts and puffs on one side...
I think I had a
REAL PUMPKIN just like it once.

       I DID buy some orange...and I am working on a little Autumn project that I will share in a day or so.



A couple of the Golden Beauties are perched on clear glass candle holders,
adding to the composition of the grouping.
Ya know....like I really know something about composition...
I've just seen others use different layers and heights...:>)


ahhh...they look amazing with my pinkish pigs...
the pigs are trying REALLY HARD to be LOOKING GOOD
with all the fall decorations I throw at them ....they're scared I'll take them down
and replace that spot on the mantel  with something else.

*Dear Little Pigs,
 you will probably be safe there for a few more months...
something really CHRISTMAS-E  will take your place...and...
wintery something-or-other will most likely follow Christmas. "
♥ 

Now, I will admit that I could decorate with PUMPKINS all year long if they were all as pretty as these  ...:) ♥
"Hello, movie star pumpkins...
may I please have your autographs?"

    I love your pumpkins they are so pretty. It is cool here in the morning, like fall, but warms up in the afternoon but not as hot as it as been. Fall is in the air. Have a blessed evening. Madeline

    Fantastic! They look so beautiful against the painting. I would not have guessed it was of a pig!

    I love those little sparklers! Orange is tough,,, I even find red at Christmas to be hard to work into my neutral decor. I think orange looks beautiful outside though and soon my front porch will be filled with it!

    Hi BJ! Lovely catching up with you, milady! Glam pumpkins, to be sure! I'm ModPodging white pumpkins at a fall festival as a demo I'm appearing at to promo our publishing venture. My illustrator is painting plen aire and someone will win her canvas at the end of the day. You bet - I'll be blogging it. Pressed the leaves I'll be using. Happy fall!
    Joy!

    Glittering pumpkins are so creative. A delightful twist on traditional icons. But I don't think the glittery version would like to be carved with a face.

    If your pumpkins go missing they'll be at my place, even though they'll be out of season. Love them.

    I am drawn to glitter like bees to a flower and I would have scooped those beauties up in a heartbeat! We share an aversion to orange, although my heart has been softening toward it in the right place with the right colors to go with it. I just hate how all the fall decorations are the same brown and orange in the stores. Blech! My go to fall colors are deep reds and golds:>)

    Not a fan of orange either, but a little for Fall I can handle, lol! It is warm here, had to turn the ac back on last night after having it off a few days. Happy Fall! Have fun decorating! I am still in summer mode, when the cold kills the flowers I will think about it! :)

    I also am not a fan of orange, and about the only time any is around here is in the Fall.
    Hope you have enjoyed the weekend.

    bj ... you picked some really pretty pumpkins and they look great on your mantel. I bought a mirrored pumpkin last year but never used it. Just did not seem to go with my rustic decor. Maybe I will try it this year as I love the way yours looks.
    Happy Fall ... too hot here to even think about Fall.

    Hi BJ,

    You're making me feel guilty; I haven't started fall decoration yet, but I'll get it going--I promise.

    Happy Blue Monday!

    Hi bj, I have to say, I do like orange. Gator orange and blue!!! HA! However, the bling in those pumpkins really speaks to my heart. Love the pig too. Having lived on a farm I can definitely eat pig and beef. Oh yeah, and venison. My family are hunters and they eat what they shoot. I do love animals but in a practical way. My grandfather was a butcher for his son's IGA grocery store. Earning a living and sustaining life is the way I look at it. Off my soap box now. I was responding to a comment about not understanding how people can eat meat.

    Enjoy your pretty pumpkins and happy Blue Mon.
    Love, Jeanne

    Those pumpkins are by far the most beautiful I've ever seen, but I'm a bling girl from way back ;).

    Bright orange is not my favorite color either, but I think outside it's much easier to handle than indoors. I suppose that's because in nature, everything looks good because Mother Nature doesn't make mistakes. :).

    Thanks so much for visiting BJ! It's a pleasure to meet you and I am following you now.
