What to Do and Make with Pumpkins ~ Link Up Love

"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?

  1. 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.

  6. Congratulations 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!

    1. Now I am wondering if your blog title "Little House on the Seaside" has anything to do with the "Little House" series by Laura Ingalls? :)

  11. Hi Jes,

    Well, 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!
