Elegant Pumpkins

Hi everyone.  First, my apologies for not being a consistent blogger.  I am a whack-a-mole blogger (now you see her, now you don't), I begin meetings in a week or so.  I also know I could go on with all the reasons why I haven't been blogging, but, you all have kids, families, crazy out in-laws and just stuff going on.  I promise I will try and be more consistent.  With that said, I can now show you the pumpkins I made for my entryway this Halloween.



My home is very casual and eclectic.  I hope these aren't too elegant -- ha ha.



I got everything from The Dollar Tree.



Three candles sticks in different heights and three pumpkins.



I even got the ribbon there.  I just shot everything with the .97 cent glossy black paint from Wal Mart.



What do you think?

This is really cool, quick and easy! And it's elegant looking too! I think we're all scrambling trying to think of different ways to decorate for the autumn and fall seasons. You came up with a winner!
