Orange Crush

One of my favorite gifts of fall are pumpkins. Small ones, big ones, knobby or smooth, you name it. Try tucking a few into your potted plants to give a shot of color. Stack them for height and scatter smaller ones around a larger pumpkin. A friend allows me to raid the remains of his large, commercial pumpkin patch every year. While the pumpkins I pick are not perfect, they have plenty of "character", so just try to overlook the spots and deformities! Take the fun inside with bowls of small pumpkins
or try placing one atop a cake plate for extra drama. The best part is that the autumn decor will hold you over til' Christmas!
