saw these velvet pumpkins on cup of jo and thought they are great.  The only good thing about summer ending is the smell of fall.  Real autumn does not really occur in sunny so-cal, but every once in a while, a gusty, cold day happens and we pretend it is.  Here's to raking the leaves and jumping in the pile!

These festive velvet pumpkins are handmade using gourd stems harvested by local farmers. The rich earth tones in this collection are lovely standing alone or mixed together in a centerpiece. 4" diameter.
