Fall is trying hard to get to West Texas...
a little summer, like green grass and a few flowers hanging on,
but cool mornings...
cool nights...
and pumpkins filling all the grocery stores,
tell me,
IT'S FALL...

so many bloggers are posting
FALL....
and because it's near IMPOSSIBLE
to do a fall post
without a pumpkin....♥
I hit the super market for LITTLE ones...
and spent nearly an hour finding ones with
1st CLASS STEMS....
♥
♥
and the sweetest grocery sacker boy helped me pick out some
WINNERS...
♥ ♥ ♥
This stem affair is an absolute work of art...
all those curly Q's just make me so happy.. ♥
...aren't they doozies !!!
♥ ♥ ♥
Because I am refusing to pull out bins of Autumn decor,
I shopped my house...
my yard...
my flower garden...
even my ALLEY...
yep....
I got a little texture going...
♥ ♥ ♥
added a tiny bit of
candle light...
my pumpkin with the HE MAN STEM.....
This pretty little white crocheted one ♥ that KITTY sent me a few years back
is kept in my house....not in storage bins...
"KITTY...over the years, I lost the little stem you had in it
so I had to make another.
I even put a few grape-vine curly-q's on it. 😍"
♥ ♥ ♥
..and what would an Autumn setting be without
TREATS....!!
Some of my favorite candies...
fresh Peanut Brittle sent to me from my darling friend, LV...♥
Orange slices that I can eat til the cows come home...
Maple Leaf Cookies that I have no doubt whatsoever
that Angels serve these in Heaven...
This post was such fun to put together...
mainly because only $4.50 was spent for those adorable pumpkins....
I had the candy and cookies....
OOPS...
I almost forgot to point out to you what I got out of the yard and the alley....
Pine cones from under pine trees at the entrance of our addition...
Amazing grass, growing tall, in an alley...
Well...I DID buy a bag of these delicious oranges
when I bought the little pumpkins....
and...grape leaves from the tiny grape vine in a corner of the yard.
Those pumpkin tops are lovely. For pumpkins I'm with you, the more rustic the better! One blogger posted about saving the pumpkin stems and using them for faux pumpkins to make them look better. Hers were realistic looking with the real stems added. Sorry, it was a few years ago so don't remember the post info.
ReplyDeleteYou are way ahead of me! I am going out tomorrow to buy some pumpkins and mums. Then get out my fall decorating box. Love the stems on those pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteOh I adore your pumpkins BJ. Everything looks so nice. GIRL....bring me that candy and cookies! Love the way you have that displayed. So very pretty. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkin stems are adorable! I bought mine directly from the farm and they didn't have any fancy stems at all. Now that you have educated me, I'll be looking for something a little more with it!
ReplyDeletehahhaa...Vee...you are so cute and I love you to pieces....xoxo
DeleteAs always, the most beautiful post full of ideas, color and fall inspiration....perfect glorious pumpkins and sweets...love to you BJ!
ReplyDeleteYes, pumpkin stems take a beating at the grocery store . . . but you found some real beauts! And now I'm craving a piece of peanut brittle. Haven't had that for years!
ReplyDeleteLove the pumpkin photo's, I think Fall is trying hard to get here!
ReplyDeleteYou found true beauties, BJ. Well done. Happy Autumn!!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your pumpkin show. That looks like a lot of work and time make a post like this. I would never be able to do it. I do good to post what little I do. thanks for the plug.
ReplyDeleteI think we have moved beyond fall already. I woke up to snow on the ground this morning.
ReplyDeleteCute pumpkins, you do a great job decorating.
God bless.
I love the stems on the pumpkins you bought. I need to look for some like that, they have character! I love orange slices! It was my favorite candy to buy from the Sears candy counter when I was growing up. Now I want some, where do you buy yours? I've never had a maple cookie but now I want to try one. You have just added a bunch of calories to my diet my friend!!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. I did put out 3 big mums today.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post. Your pumpkins are adorable. Great photos and beautiful decorating ideas. Have a blessed evening. Madeline
ReplyDeleteMy little tree is still green with color. Summer is staying for awhile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post, you sure know your bits and bobs lol,, you do it all so well,
ReplyDeleteI love the pumpkins -- especially the crazy stems! You do FALL right! So many pretty textures and colors. Happy October!
ReplyDeleteBJ, I love how you pulled all that together and made a wonderful display. Lots of textures too. My Mom loved those orange slice candies. I think you did an amazing job with your fall décor. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun display of fall! I love how you pulled it all together with what you had on hand, and being able to find the cute pumpkins too! I love those maple cookies too, yum! Happy fall to you :)

Your blog is so pretty today with all of the orange. And how clever of you to spend time focusing on the stems of the pumpkins! They really are a work of art all by themselves!
