Ghosts?

Yes, Ghost pumpkins! I know this post might be a little late in your eyes, but hang in there with me, please! While the good, old, traditional orange variety is what you typically see all around, it's also what I soooo long to replace with this variety!

It could be (ok, I admit this IS the reason) that I go for the visual, the colors and the overall calm feeling that can be created with these beauties... I just love the dusty colors and could probably decorate my entire house in these colors, and be very happy :)

... and we all know where these amazing cut out versions come from, right? 

I wish I had the patience to do this, but for now I will stick to all these images. 

Do you have a preference?? Traditional orange or the white ghost pumpkins? 

This year I also saw a lot of painted pumpkins, did you paint yours?

After the party..

Now that Halloween is over and you have carved out your share of pumpkins, scared your neighbors away, you are probably left with only a few soggy pumpkins, BUT, perhaps you can find one of these gray ones (LOVE the colors of these so much more than the traditional orange ones....!)

....as shown here by the Very Talented Eddie Ross.....

Why not do a pretty arrangement like this? Mum's the word ;)!              Also by Eddie Ross, when working for Martha Stewart....

Have fun, experiment a little, and use some unexpected objects as floral containers!
