Happy Pumpkin Day

We're pretty much traditionalists when it comes to pumpkins around here.


No fancy schmancy, artistically carved gourds at our house.



No pulling out the electric tools to carve spooky scenes. Just a knife, baby.


Nope, we go for the simple, yet effective triangle eyes and nose here.


What says Happy Halloween more than that? Sometimes, traditionalism works just fine.


Wait, a pumpkin in a birdbath isn't traditional? You're kidding, right? I've always displayed my pumpkin in a birdbath since I've had a blog.


Well, I've got a date with a bag of miniature Snickers bars today. Better get started on that. Have a Happy Halloween!

Linking with Funky Junk Interiors' Saturday Night Special.

  4. Cute! We are traditionalists too! Love the bird bath idea. I'm going to do that. The real truth of why we need more candy is b/c we've all been dipping into the bucket. Snickers are my fav!

  6. Traditionally carved pumpkins are the best and a favorite of mine. It's how I always carve my own. Your's looks perfect perched in your birdbath surrounded by leaves. Your photos are gorgeous too!

    I have a special bag of milkyways in the fridge (stashed waaayyyy in back) for me tonight! Yummy, Yummy

  13. Minitature O Henry's for me (snuck them out of the candy box and hid them). Love Halloween pumpkins. Bird Bath base is good, very good. Happy Halloween.

  16. That's one of the most original ideas I've seen for a Jack-O-Lantern in a long time. To put it in a birdbath. Absolutely delightful. Mind if I steal the idea for next Halloween?
