A little ceramic jack o lantern. Isn't it cute? He was the only thing that managed to find his way home with me this weekend.
I was originally going to paint it Heirloom white as my Halloween decor in my family room this year is black & white. But once I got him home & all cleaned up. I kind of like him orange.
Besides, he now goes with the other orange pumpkins in this cute little sign I picked up at Tai Pan Trading back in August for $3.00. Makes a nice little vignette on my side table.I did work on numerous Halloween projects this weekend. But I got none of them completely done. I really need to just work on one project at a time. Hopefully I'll get something completely done to share with you tomorrow or the next day.
It is still too hot to climb up in the attic to get the rest of my Halloween decor down. It was 110 degrees yesterday. And today is suppose to be just as hot.
Now that it is fall, we are just now getting summer temps here in southern California. It's been a weird summer.

I like that little Halloween vignette! And I read your previous posts about Tai Pan Trading. Sure wish there was one around here! Hope it cools off enough for you to get into the attic. Ours is just the right temp now. Very soon it will be freezing up there!
ReplyDeleteHe fits in perfectly. A cousin to the pumpkins in your sign I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteOh I think you have something exciting to share.....your pumpkin is adorable and worth the spotlight all by himself.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
