This is a tale about my little white pumpkin. I know it's not amazing or spectacular, but I love it anyway. You know how some of those projects are. Right? I found this pumpkin awhile ago at GW, stained orange. (No before photo--I took one. I don't take as much time with "before" photos, so they're often blurry. Like I'm walking by. While waving. And chewing gum. Texting, and trying to snap the photo...)
So. I did the same ol', same ol'. I then made a trip to Old Time Pottery. Two trips.
I purchased four picks and cut or separated them all apart to get individual stems. Of course, I {heart} with ones with the white-ish berries, since they tie everything together.
Before I painted her, I filled in the separations with wood filler. I think she kept cracking in spite of my efforts. See the crrrraaaack, above?
What can I say? It's still pumpkin love. Wanna see the "before and after"????? Roll your mouse over the following picture...
I kill me! I like them both {smiley face}! Photo flip instructions courtesy of Sneaky Momma Blog Design. (I'm such a dork, I rolled over this bunches of times while I was in the preview screen.) For more fall decor see my thrifty hutch post.

They look great. I like the rollover! Might have to learn how to do that. I did it several times on your post. It was so fun.
I think that my comment disappeared, so I will try again. Blogger or my computer has not had their coffee this morning. LOVE THE PUMPKIN!!! The arrangement you designed is so beautiful. It makes a marvelous statement and I adore the handles you used. Great job, Kim!

Very nice arrangement.....love the white pumpkin story. ANd very impressed with the "roll over picture"....I don't have a CLUE how you did that? Happy Fall Ya'll!
Hi! Thanks so much for coming over to join the party today! I absolutely love this pumpkin arrangement and think it looks so elegant in those tones. This is a great way to show that decorating for Fall doesn't always have to be in the traditional color pallette. Thanks for the inspiration! :-)

You are linking to eight parties, yes I counted! :) I love the photo flip. I havea new project now.
I think I prefer the pillar candles, but the white pumpkins are adorable...
This is a super pretty vignette too...I love your pics.
Wonderful pictures! I like the rollover effect of the pictures!

thanks for your comment on the skulls...i've never used them in decorating, but i thought they'd be perfect for my dining room colors.
Very cute! Thanks for joining the party!
Cool before and after. I like the tiny pumpkins on the tall candlesticks. And white pumpkins? What's not to love?!!
