"I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself,
than be crowded on a velvet cushion."
~ Henry David Thoreau
Fall is the color-filled and cool season for harvesting those bright and orange pumpkins! There were so many ideas shared on what to make and do with them on The Art of Home-Making Mondays this past month that I had to feature some. May I present you with a variety of cheery pumpkin inspiration?

"All the other pumpkins Almanzo rolled into piles, and Father hauled them to the barn. The best ones were put in the cellar to make pumpkin pies, and the rest were piled on the South Barn Floor..."

Cute pumpkin crafts. This year I crocheted candy corn jewelry. I love to cook with my home grown/pureed pumpkin too. Very healthy and sustainable.
ReplyDeleteCandy corn jewelry, how cute!!! Thanks for sharing Kristina :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, JES. I'm honored.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! I was honored and blessed for your sharing my devotional post! I am sewing a skirt today, and as much as I hate to discover I think my waist has turned into a pumpkin shape.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad today is November 1stm I love November....
May you have a wonderful weekend Jes!
Hugs, Roxy

DeleteThank you so much for sharing my pumpkin cider.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing my pumpkin puree and pumpkin bread posts. Love visiting your blog and I so appreciate the features! Have a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the featured bloggers. It's COLD here in Tennessee today, but as always it's just a dip in our weather roller coaster. I may have to try one of those pumpkin lattes. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi JES, thanks so much for featuring my crocheted pumpkins. If you know how to crochet then they are a fun to make for Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations! I love all of the features from everyone. Have a nice weekend and see you Monday.

Jes thank you for featuring my "Pumpkiny" drinks...I hope you've had a fruitful week! Blessings! Kyle
ReplyDeleteI love that you used a quote by Laura Ingalls to end your inspiring post!
ReplyDeleteNow I am wondering if your blog title "Little House on the Seaside" has anything to do with the "Little House" series by Laura Ingalls? :)
DeleteHi, JES, What a beautiful post! I loved having all of these wonderful, lovely ideas all in one place. Your blog is such a dear, blessing to me. I don't comment near often enough, but you always put a smile on my face and encourage me more than you know. This little spot on the web is absolutely one of my favorites. Thank you so much for the weekly link-up and for all you do to make it so special. Much love to you.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you for the sweet words which created a large smile on this rainy afternoon! :)
DeleteHi Jes,
ReplyDeleteWell, can't say that I've acquired a taste for pumpkin, not in soups nor in lattes, but I adore them in crafts and decorating, and your features are very pretty!
Have a lovely week ahead!

I love pumpkins! They are my favorite part of fall so thank you for organizing everything pumpkin. I also loved your Farmer Boy quote, we love to read the Little House books in the fall and Farmer Boy is one of our favorites! Thank you also for featuring our pumpkin post.
ReplyDeleteOOOh I love those crafty pumpkins!! Especially the canning ring ones--mine got rusty and look hideous, so a little bit of paint would make them a nice like that!
ReplyDeleteAren't they darling! :)
DeleteWow, I might be on pumpkin overload from this post. :) And that's a good thing bcuz I adore pumpkin! I am excited to try some of these recipes and ideas. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for featuring our pumpkin posts!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great variety of pumpkin ideas! I'll pin it for later.
