I tried... HELP!

     All right. It all comes back to me. Benadryl. Fall. Etsy. Blogging. Pumpkin addiction. It all came back in A RUSH when I lifted the lid to the storage tub and saw (after breathing in the aroma of cinnamon and pumpkin scents. Let's pause with that for a moment. Ahhhh. ) THE PLETHORA OF PUMPKINS I bought when I took all of that Benadryl for my allergic reaction last Fall. Oh. No. So, when you all, my kind, helpful friends, suggested pumpkins on the shelves, pumpkin hoarder here (Watch me this Fall on TLC) froze like a deer in the headlights. Which pumpkins do I use? Which sprigs? I have been looking at blue, and teal, and star bulletin board borders all day- I CAN'T FOCUS!!! Okay, um, it may be 12 am, but I gotta get this SOS out there in Bloggerworld. 

So here is where I started. And stopped. 

Yeah. That's it. 

     So, I decided to group my pumpkins and such and let you shop from these, okay. There are also baskets, crocks, pewter, wood to incorporate as well. So, here ya go. Shop, play around with it, give suggestions. I am in a holding pattern. 

Prim Larger Pumpkins...

Pumpkins with texture...

Smaller, plain prim pumpkins...

Pumpkins with faces...

Pillow tucks...

Greens, fruits, and berries...

Indian Corn and Acorns...

Misc...

     Charlie says, "Mama, are you out of your gourd?" I am afraid so, my boy. Afraid so. 

     Here is a taste of part of the prize... A choice in pie pin keeps. There is always plain. But I also have two other varieties. Blackbird Blackberry Pie and Pumpkin Pie. You win. You choose!

 V.  Well, I gotta go to bed, school in the morning. Sorry this isn't well organized. But, I know we can do it!!!

Thanks again!!! Love and hugs!

Okay, so, well, hmmmm...

We are half-way there! 

Our goal is to thin out and create a Buttery or Butt'ry.  Some decorating tips were given at the beginning which I think are a good reminder- groupings of 3, 5, or 7.  Keep your greatest focus at eye-level.  Well, these shelves are at eye-level, so we need to draw the eye here.  Here are some suggestions and ideas so far:

• Add a central pumpkin and some Ball jars
• Make the penny rug more visible
• Add some bittersweet

Okay, what else can we come up with?

A few reminders...

• The top shelf post is closed, so no more bonus points for that.  
• This post and the post "Coffee Talk- Talk Amongst Yourselves..." are still available for bonus points.  Whether you post on this one or that one, it equals one bonus point.  
• You can give lots of suggestions, but you only get one bonus point per post.  
• This "chatting and brainstorming" post will end TONIGHT at MIDNIGHT.  I will then put your ideas into some choices, and you will get a chance to vote.  

Everyone did a fabulous job on the top of the hutch!  I love it!!!  I just need to get some small rice lights for the top (Thank you for the idea, Dianntha!)!

So, you are entering this giveaway and earning bonus points, so what's being given away.  Hmmmm... Hints... Pie... Pin Keep... Pumpkin... and other little treasures!  I will give you a peep at it on Saturday!

So, that concludes this little reminder... Now back to your regularly scheduled activities, all ready in progress! Me?  I have to make curtains for my classroom... ;)

 

Well, gee!  I don't know, do you?

Love and Hugs!
