I discovered these velvet pumpkins today through Pinterest and I got all inspired. Appropriate since it's the first day of fall today. I especially LOVE the black/dark brown one!

I love all the orange pumpkins this time of year but I tend to gravitate toward real ones that are out of the ordinary. White, black, green and brown, instead of all orange.

This combination is so rich and classy.

Aren't these fall colors gorgeous? So rich and warm!

Turquoise and green look lovely together. I'm going to be making some of these this year!

They look like great friends socializing together and compliment each other well with their variety of personalities.

Isn't this a great idea? They used book pages to create these cascading leaves. Brilliant and such a different twist to the usual fall decorating you see.

Combined with the white china, this is so soft and makes such a statement all at the same time. Wouldn't a velvet pumpkin look beautiful on this shelf?

Hope your weekend is full of coolness as you start decorating your homes for the fall season!

Happy first day of fall!

I can't wait to decorate my mantel and add my pumpkins to my patio and around my pool. Hopefully my scarecrow has survived the brutal summer up in the attic, she may be a skeleton up there now! This was her all dressed up last year.
