...sea lavender pumpkins


 
...every fall
i'm enchanted with cinderella pumpkins

i adore their shape
and their color




the heirloom blue jarrahdale pumpkin squash
is grayish-blue in skin color

they were my inspiration for a small collection of velvet pumpkins
that
and the sea...




this is the "fairytale tag" i will use to attach to each special pumpkin




i hand dyed silk velvet in shades of the sea
along with silk ribbons and lace...




then i created a delightful collection of pumpkins...




some have pumpkin stems...




and some
i've used driftwood stems
i thought it appropriate for sea pumpkins:)




each one smells of lavender
as i have added dried lavender buds to each and every one of them




and i adore their unique shapes
no two are the same...




i will be listing them in my etsy shop

for those that would like a pumpkin fairytale
inspired by the sea




i would describe them as "mermaid couture decor"

beauty...

...whimsy




fairytale pumpkins...




 dreamy thoughts
of what a carriage might look like
if the fairy god-mother waved her magic wand at one of these...
