I found the most wonderful tutorial that combines the beauty of fall with shabby chic!  Look at these gorgeous gourds and pumpkins that have been painted and dusted with glitter.  Aren't they wonderful?  Andrea at the Cottage Market was the one who came up with these beauties.  Please go stop by her place  to learn the "how to", and just say hello.



Blessings,

Happy Pink Saturday Holly Sweetie...
What a beautiful share today. I love this pink gourds and pumpkins. How pretty they are painted and dusted in pink. I will have to pop over and check out the tutorial. How wonderful of Andrea to share with us, and you to be such a sweet friend and share her blog.

Hope you have a glorious weekend sweetie. Loved your post on the corn maze as well. I would be so afraid to go into one. I am so short, I would never be able to see to get myself out. You are so lucky to have been with friends.

Many hugs sweetie and much love, Sherry

We don't really 'do' Halloween in the UK, but we are catching up fast (although having seen your decorations, I think we have a way to go yet, lol). Your sparkly pumpkins are wonderful!

Happy Halloween, hugs and Happy Pink Saturday from the UK!

Hi Holly, Those pumpkins are so pretty and pink! Love the post! About that class, I think "not" as it is a little steep for my budget, especially at this time of year. Those would be some pricy ornies! I'm taking a class from KC Willis tomorrow and Monday. Hugs Marilou

Oh they are lovely!! I love glitter!
I bought a very large white foam pumpkin last year, and was all set to decorate it like I did my orange one this Halloween. Can you believe I can't find it? UGH!
