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
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.
I like the pumpkin in the bird bath. I will have to try that next year.
ReplyDeleteSorry that you don't get trick or treaters.......more candy for you though, hah.
On to Thanksgiving,,,,,
Lovin' that pumpkin in the bird bath...so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Pam, your bathing pumpkin is adorable. Apparently I have been dating Reece's cups for about a week now. Happy Halloween. Olive
ReplyDeleteCute! 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!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the bird bath idea too.
ReplyDeleteHalloween hugs!
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!
ReplyDeleteI have a special bag of milkyways in the fridge (stashed waaayyyy in back) for me tonight! Yummy, Yummy
I think that your traditional pumpkin is the best! Love the idea of sitting it in the birdbath too!
ReplyDeleteYou better watch out for that date. Mr.Snickers will stalk you by attaching himself to your butt! I thought EVERYONE (in blogland) put their Jack-o-lanterns in the birdbath....you mean they don't? xo Diana
ReplyDeleteSome times, Simplicity is best.
ReplyDeletem.
Love your smilin' Jack Pam! Happy Halloween:@)
ReplyDeleteI like the basic, happy pumpkin. The Bird Bath variety is hard to find in these parts. :<}

Ok, now I know where I'm putting my pumpkin next year. You get 3 guesses! I'm also a traditionalist so can relate. Simple is always good. Thanks for stopping by and commenting how much you like my good will bed score!
ReplyDeleteMinitature 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.

Wish I had thought about a pumpkin in a birdbath! Oh, well, there's always next year.
ReplyDeleteLove your traditional jack-o-lantern...perfect! Enjoy those Snickers...
ReplyDeleteThat'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?
ReplyDeleteI like the pumpkin in the bird bath, but I heard the birds don't!
ReplyDeleteHope it was a great Halloween and the snickers were to your liking!
Your traditional pumpkin is sweet. Great idea putting it in the birdbath- super cute!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Friend :)

ReplyDeleteCan you believe it's November already?
Seems like this year just flew by.
I love that pretty little Boston Terrier Figurine in your header, he's adorable!
Love the pumpkin in the birdbath! I'll have to borrow that idea for next year. Thanks for stopping by, Laura - Cottage and Broome
ReplyDeletehahaha I hope your date went well ;)
ReplyDeleteI had one with a bag of skittles.
That is how I make our jack o lanterns too!
Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
Nothing wrong with traditional! He looks cute there in the bird bath, not sure how traditional that part is LOL! But he made for a fantastic photo shoot. BTW, all our reeses are GONE..I ate too much of the boys candy.
ReplyDeleteI think your pumpkin looks great in the birdbath!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on being traditional.
I not that talented anyway, (Where pumpkin carving is concerned)
