Festive Fall Pumpkin Floral

I took a break today from my basement remodeling project 

to do something fun for myself.  

You ALL know how much I love fresh flowers in my home.  

It is so difficult to walk by the flowers at Costco 

and not pick up a bunch for the house.  

So, I did!  

Can I tell you first how much I hate 

going to Costco on the weekend?  

Huge traffic jams...enough said.  

I loved the fantastic fall colors that they had in their bouquets 

this week.  Pretty yellows, golds, and pinks.  

I Had to find a container that would say Fall too.  

So,I snagged one of my carve-able pumpkins 

from my Halloween table to use.

Now I know that I didn't invent the 

"Pumpkin as a floral vase" 

idea but it sure is a good one.  

And, since carving out pumpkins 

is my least favorite thing to do.  

(I leave that up to Mr. Beaux every year)  

I loved the idea of using the carve-able pumpkin.  

I just Sharpied a design around the top.

And carved it out.  Ewwwwww, look at the inside!  

Floral wet foam in a small plastic bowl.  

I still call it Tupperware.  

Do you do that?  

When is the last time you went to a Tupperware party?  

And arrange your flowers.  

There is no right or wrong way to arrange them.  

Arranging flowers is therapeutic for me, 

kind of like cooking without the calories.  

And like cooking you just add and step back and look and then add some more...

I placed the pumpkin top to the side and didn't even wire it in or anything.  I like the fact that it's not perfect.  And I really like the fact that it took me just a few minutes to get a custom looking arrangement for my entry way table.

Until Next Time,
