Pumpkin Schmumpkin

If you know me at all, you know that I am obsessed with pumpkins. I love pumpkin patches, decorating with pumpkins, and eating pumpkin in anything and everything I can manage. Every fall in my house brings pumpkin scones, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin bread, and this year...PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES!! Woo Hoo!! I am going to make some this week and I'll post the recipe and pictures. I am also recently obsessed with Etsy. If you're not familiar with Etsy (what is the MATTER with you?!), it's a website where people sell homemade goods. Melissa sells her cute party lines on etsy (click here). Etsy has these treasuries where people pick a theme, like a color or an event, and they create this group of people and items focusing on the theme. So I am going to create for you a treasury of my favorite pumpkin items this fall. Enjoy.


This darling banner was found here on Etsy. Isn't this adorable?! I could totally see this on a mantel. I love that it's made of fabric so you can really see the textures. This is actually a pattern that they send you and you make it yourself.


This too-cute-for-words coffee cozy is from my friend Jen over at The Cozy Project. I love this!! Isn't this perfect for a Pumpkin Spice Latte?


I know you're thinking, that's not a pumpkin! This is actually the cake stand that I have. Melissa has one, too, and we love how you can interchange the ribbon to match the party or decoration that you're going for. This can be purchased at Amazon. Can't you picture this with a cute autumn ribbon, set perfectly in the middle of your kitchen table, with a cute little mini pumpkin on it? Or, it could hold some PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE CUPCAKES! Say what?! Oh yes, PSL cupcakes. I'm going to make these little beauties for my halloween book club at the end of the month and I'll post the pictures then. Let's just say they sound amazing.


I love this little pumpkin hairbow! This can be found here. I have purchased many hairbows from this site, called Rosey Posey Bowtique, and they have all been super cute and they hold up really well. The little bird bow that Savannah wore at her first birthday was from this site.


And finally, here are some adorable little personalized pumpkin shirts. This store made the shirts for the girls last year at Christmas and I loved them. Aren't they adorable?

What's your favorite use for pumpkins?
