Fall Gourds
One of my very favorite parts of fall is that you can decorate easily by utilizing one of natures very unique fall foliage. Gourds not only are very delicious to eat most of the time, but they offer a great festive feeling during this time of year. Gourds are also wonderful at keeping, so you can purchase a few and keep them around for months until Christmas!
During a grocery shopping trip with Joshua, he treated me with a small bag of gourds to decorate the house with! I think he likes decorations as much as I do, even if he wont admit it.
Of course, I immediately began the task of placing them throughout our living area. I love how lumpy and knobby some of them are, as well as the strange coloration.
The sack came with a few different variations as well as some great mini pumpkins!
I also collected just a few small acorns to add to the theme.
I imagine that somehow some of these gourds were engineered to have specific colors and patterns, but whose to say?
I can't wait to get the most important gourd of all... Our pumpkins! :D We are definitely going to carve 'em up.
