...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...
