That is the question. I love, love, love my pumpkins; every last one of them. They each have their own unique set of characteristics and personality that sets each of them apart. Combinations of fabrics and stem characteristics ensure that each truly is a “one of a kind,” and I love that about them. I also love that each can take on new personalities by adding a bit of somethin’ somethin’ every now and then…and the holidays are the perfect time to add a bit of bling.
Here you can see that I’ve taken a couple of vintage style broaches and pinned them near the stem. I love how it adds a bit of sparkle and coordinates perfectly with my stunning Sterling Embellished Pumpkin. The crystal rhinestones pop out nicely against the cream and black velvets.
Felt and wool are steeped in tradition, which is another element I love about holiday time. These pretty gray felt roses bring a bit of grounding and sensibility to what can sometimes be a stressful time of year. It is wonderful how you can set the mood for your days by surrounding yourself with simple, yet lovely things. ~Blessings, Janet
