Halloween At Home: Creative Ways To Celebrate!

This year Halloween is focused on home and family, and lots of folks will be figuring out new and different ways to celebrate.

All Hail The Pumpkin! Amazing Fall Pumpkin Displays

I see them. They're everywhere. In people's yards. On the side of the road. In fields. On display outside of every single grocery store I pass. It used to be just orange colored ones. Now there's white, yellow, blue, green - pumpkins everywhere. Big ones (I like those), small ones (I like those too!), tall ones, squat ones, you get the picture. Pumpkins are everywhere. Well, at least they are where I live - in Pennsylvania. Pumpkin territory.

For the past few years I wrote blog posts about the creative ways that different folks display and gussy-up their pumpkins. They paint them, decoupage them, glitter and sequin them, stack them, transform them into spiders and cats and giant eyeballs. All of those are cool. They're creative and unique. But sometimes I like my pumpkins just - pumpkins.

Below I've collected some of the most beautiful au naturale pumpkin displays put together by some creative, like-minded folks. Which style do you prefer?
