Pumpkin Decor
Pumpkins are ultra inexpensive and can be found all about town during the Autumn months. They are fun to decorate - whether you're carving out a Jack-o-Lantern or studding them with jewels, gold rope and fake pearls.
Rich & Hearty Pumpkin Soup & a Pumpkin Bowl
One idea that I use often is to hull out the pumpkin and prepare pumpkin soup. The 'recipe base' is very simple: cooked pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger & nutmeg if desired and skim milk. Wash out your hulled pumpkin and you have an instant soup bowl!
To cut down on bacteria, you can zap your hulled pumpkin in the microwave for a few seconds. Be sure to thoroughly rinse out the hull with clean water before filling. Dry with a paper towel, if desired.
Beautiful Container
If you're planning to give your loved one an Autumn flower arrangement, use a hulled-out pumpkin as your base. Snare a fall-like bow around your creation and fasten a small scarecrow ornament onto the bow OR knit it into your arrangement. The recipient will definitely be dazzled!
Keep in mind that Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. A hulled out pumpkin that's filled with fresh & manufacture flowers - such as mums and cranberries will be the WOW of your table. Add a few long, thin, fragrant candles to your arrangement and DOUBLE WOW! By the way, you'll probably want to anchor your arrangement in florist's foam or Styrofoam.
Did we mention not to forget to spray the Pumpkin Room Scent? Oh, and can we also make a wreath for the door with the mini-pumpkins? And don't toss out those seeds! Dry them and get the kids involved. A little glue, a few pumpkins, a bit of color - and perhaps they can create an Autumn Turkey masterpiece.
