The Art of Home-Making Mondays ~ Please Join Us ~ Link Up 129

"The moon cast their black shadows on the ground where the pumpkins lay naked above their withered leaves... 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."

~ Laura Ingalls Wilder, Farmer Boy

There are so many wonderful features in the making of a home. This is a place where I would love for you to share your love for anything home-related. Homemaking, homeschooling and homesteading are all a part of the lovely art of home-making!

~~Please link up posts in the spirit of Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 (such as recipes, godly encouragement, DIY's, frugal living, child-raising, medicine making, preparedness, gardening, home decoration, school lessons, sewing, crafts, etc). ~~ You are welcome to share as many posts as you like!

This week we are "picking" (and it is quite packed!!!) some of the pumpkin related posts which were shared recently on our link ups for some seasonal inspiration:
