It Feels Like Fall

I've been so busy with my practicum this semester that aside from all of the fun craft projects I've done, it hasn't felt like the holidays are coming. I haven't even been home to enjoy my fall decor! I'm finally in NY long enough to take photos of my finished products. Now it's starting to feel like the holiday season!

My dictionary pumpkins from last year!

The newest pieces of my collection.

I love them!

My Book Page Pumpkins.

Spray-painted Pinecones.

My Pumpkin Canvas.

And, finally,

my Chalkboard Pumpkins -

decorate as Jack-O-Lanterns for Halloween,

then erase and write a Thanksgiving message on them!

They all turned out fabulously!! I would show you my burlap wreath, but my pins need to be reinforced somehow... Hopefully it will be ready for Christmas. Today we had some snow. Now that I feel like I've been able to enjoy fall, it's turning into winter! I guess it's time to move on. Next up, Christmas decorations!

Keene Pumpkin Festival

While Amit was on his externship in Keene, he heard about this annual pumpkin festival and we knew we should check it out. We had a lot of fun wandering around and looking at all the pumpkins.

Amit was starving by the time we got up there.

These Italian sausages were so good and huge!

One of the pumpkin towers.

Awesome!! 

Looks like we'll have to copy these designs next year...

We bought this great piece from Larry Carlson.

There were so many fantastic pieces!

I think we have about 5 more prints on our wishlist.

The giant pumpkin tower in the center of town.

We love the pumpkin fest!

The Keene Pumpkin Fest was really fun and the food was delicious! It might be small-town fun, but we really enjoyed it! This is definitely going to become a yearly tradition - next year we'll have to carve our own pumpkins to add to the display.
