On My Mind || Pumpkins and other shiny things

October 17, 2013



I finally bought some pumpkins!  I adore having them in the house it just makes fall more real.  And we are having a little cold front which is exciting.  Fall is officially in the air.  We usually carve one of the pumpkins near Halloween night and put a candle inside.  I love the shadows it casts.  After we make pumpkin soup and some other form of pumpkin food and boy have I been compiling some good recipes off of Pinterest that have me pining for pumpkin goodness like this and this recipe).  But carving a pumpkin is HARD work!  So I'm loving all these no carve pumpkin decorating ideas.  Love what Style Within Reach is coming up with using paints, sequins, and sparkles.  Also, Erika from Smallshop did some fab ones last year.

Karl Springer Gold-Leaf Chairs || Help!  These are so beautiful! and the price is not terrible  I'm completely in love them.  They have 6 available!  And you all know how much I love his designs (here and here)

All in one Arm party ||  Cute bracelet! And you don't have to worry about designing the perfect stack because its done for you already! So convenient.

Curved Brass Etagere || Heaven.  The price is available on request.  This cannot be a good sign.

What beautiful things are on your mind lately?

  3. Those chairs are so pretty, the gold detailing is just fantastic. And I love painting pumpkins but for some strange reason I also love carving them! Since I was a kid I loved cleaning them out and baking the seeds. I still need to do this as a matter of fact!

  5. I love that shelf and you are right, can never be a good sign to have to ask for the price:) I passed up a very similar one in an antique place recently and now i am regretting it big time!

  8. Good morning...I may need to try no-carve pumpkins this year...with no kids at home, it isn't worth the mess of carving them. I love the "arm candy" - I saw that exact bracelet in Paris.

    Have a wonderful day, Albertina! xoxo

  12. We had that etagere in black at my last design job and it was so fun to accessorize. I must say though, I like the brass better ;)

  13. I am definitely going to start decorating some pumpkins for inside our house. I can't put pumpkins outside until a few days before Halloween bc our squirrels will eat them. Grrrr. And I looove that bracelet. So cute. xoxo
