The pumpkins above & some more….
I have been getting a TON of questions this week after I started putting faux pumpkins out this week about where I get them from. The truth is I’ve been collecting faux pumpkins for as long as I can remember. My secret? Every year I find some places that have some pretty faux pumpkins and a buy a few here & there on sale & over time my collection has grown. We all know faux pumpkins can be pricey, but again buying them on sale helps & some of these I gathered today are either already on sale or just normally a great price. I hope this helps some of you who were asking me & I hope it inspires you when you start decorating for fall. My favorite that I found? [THESE] watercolor faux pumpkins I found from Pier 1. Who knew they had cute pumpkins? I would love to see them in person & possibly see them in my house. Michaels is also a great place to find faux pumpkins & it’s where I have found most of mine. Where is you favorite place to find faux pumpkins? Another quick tip: You can find faux pumpkins at the dollar store or any craft store & paint them for an updated farmhouse & cottage vibe. Let me know which pumpkin from above is your favorite in the comments below, find me on Facebook, & chat with me on Instagram. xx
![Monday’s after a holiday weekend am I right?! 🐶😴 Monday’s are usually my most motivated day of the week & I use it as my launch pad for the rest of the days ahead, but between a teething baby & a holiday hangover I wasn’t my best self today. Though I did manage to get a lot done... there was room for improvement 🥴 What is one thing you do on Mondays to set the week off right? What’s your Monday motivation? Any tips to share? I’m sure we would all love to hear! #whitecottagewinnie #whitecottagefarm [sources: dog bed: @annieselke tables: antique lamp: @target sofa: @sixpennyhome curtains/pillows/chandelier: @potterybarn]](https://www.lizmarieblog.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
OR…….. you can buy real pumpkins at the market, or farmer’s market and then eat the pumpkin at Thanksgiving in pies, or fix it like you would squash, for a delicious dish at your Thanksgiving feast.
Saves on storage space, and there are some lovely small pie pumpkins out there that are darling!
Sarah, from She Holds Dearly, has a tutorial on how to make faux pumpkins. That is another option worth exploring. Hers are color coordinated to her decor.
Of course I always buy real blue, green and white pumpkins each season, those Pier One faux versions are a nice staple! Thank God for Fall! ? ? ?
Thanks for sharing. I love faux for early fall decorating. I stocked up on some good ones last year. I can’t wait to pull them out.
