It’s that time of year again. (If the end of summer makes you nervous, don’t worry — there’s still plenty of warm weather left.) I look forward to this little ritual every season: the moment when I begin nudging the house toward fall. Can you see them on my entry table? The plush pumpkins have returned, quietly announcing that the cozy season is on its way. Yes—it’s that time to add a few soft touches of autumn to the home.
Here they are in all their plump, plush glory, practically begging to be picked up and squeezed as you walk by. This year’s pumpkins feel a bit more refined, dressed in metallic linens and subtle shimmer. Their chevron pattern and silvery or gold tones add a sophisticated touch. The craftsmanship stands out—these pumpkins are heavier and more substantial than they appear.
Notice the natural, organic stems—each one unique, adding character and an artisanal feel to every pumpkin.
My friends at LoveFeast are generously offering a giveaway: a Large Metallic Linen Pumpkin set, your choice of silver or gold, to one lucky commenter. To enter, leave a comment on the post and you’ll be included in the drawing. A winner will be selected Sunday night at 10PM PST.
The LoveFeast Shop carries more pumpkin styles, including velvet versions and many charming items for the home. Their pieces are lovely additions for seasonal styling or year-round decor.
Thank you to everyone who entered; the giveaway is now closed and the winner will be contacted.
If you’re curious about the striped wall in my entry, you can find instructions for creating painted stripes on your walls. For details about the hardwood floors shown, see the hardwood floor information. The table was found at a flea market and inspired that decorating post; the little bench is from Target. The tray holding the pumpkins is from Mary & Martha.
What happy thought comes to mind when you hear the word FALL?
