Velvet Pumpkin Harvest + A Giveaway!

Fall/Autumn

A Velvet Pumpkin Harvest!

Our favorite time of the year has arrived, and with that comes our velvet pumpkin harvest! 

Velvet Pumpkin Harvest | Edith & Evelyn | www.edithandevelynvintage.com

There is something about each and every one of the four seasons that I adore, but I have to say that Autumn has always been my favorite.

I love the weather turning cooler and seeing the trees take on their colorful foliage. There’s so much to savor about the Fall season….cozy sweaters, football, evenings by the fire, warm pumpkin bread fresh from the oven, and caramel apples.

Every year, I look forward to pulling out these exquisite velvet pumpkins that I’ve collected over the years. They are the perfect decorating accessory that works year after year, and with any decorating style.

Velvet Pumpkin Harvest | Edith & Evelyn | www.edithandevelynvintage.com

The velvet pumpkins are such an easy way to add touches of Fall decor that are easy and elegant.

I adore my pumpkins from LoveFeast Shop! It’s so easy to display them in every room and in so many different ways.

One single pumpkin can make such a statement, or you can place mounds of them for a big impact.

As I was pulling the velvet pumpkins from storage, I placed them on the curved staircase in our foyer, and I love the way the look all piled together as though they have just been harvested!

Of course, Miss RubyLou was mesmerized with their beauty, but I quickly realized that they couldn’t stay there.

She was just too curious to leave them alone, so I pulled several different styles, some with feather embellishments, others with Swarovski crystals, and placed them throughout the house.

The lush velvet pumpkins from LoveFeast Shop are so unique and collectible. LoveFeast Shop also carries more than just velvet pumpkins! They also offer beautiful gifts for every occasion, and gorgeous bedding and linens such as this Chichi Linen Throw.

Velvet pumpkins can be an investment, but I’ve found that if you add a few to your collection every year, it won’t be long until you have a large variety to decorate with!

Cheers, Cindy

    Fall is a wonderful time of year. I love to open my windows and let in all of the fresh air. The colors are changing and I think of the great colors that will appear. I have already started gathering pumpkins and love your velvet ones in so many colors, they are beautiful to decorate with.

    Fall is an awesome time of year for me. I find it to be the best time to enjoy nature’s artwork. The vivid colors of the fall-blooming flowers, the berries and fruits, and above all, the gorgeous colors of the leaves amaze me every year.

    Autumn has definitely become my favorite time of year. I love when the leaves begin to change colors and time seems to slow down. Lighting the first fall scented candle of the season is so invigorating then add a splash of autumn color like rust, orange, or burgundy and suddenly my spirit starts to spark as well. I love sitting outside enjoying the warmth of the fire pit sipping a cup of homemade hot chocolate.

  4. Patti Atha says

    September 21, 2018 at 10:18 am

    Harvest has started here on the farm and my sons are busy working 15 hour days. I love the cooler weather and gorgeous colors of Fall and watching the farm equipment rolling across the fields !

    Autumn is my favorite season so there isn’t anything about it I don’t like! Finally, some decent sleeping weather! The fall colors are my favorite and I love the changing leaf colors and the textures of things going to seed, ready to winter over and prepare for next spring. I retired from a state to which many people retire just to get back to a part of the country that has four seasons. And fall is the best.

    Autumn has definitely become my favorite time of year. I love lighting that first fall scented candle and adding a few plaid colored throws to the furniture. Time just seems to slow down as the temperatures start to cool. Nothing better than sitting around the firepit on a crisp October evening with a blanket and a steamy cup of homemade hot chocolate. The sky seems clearer and the stars seem brighter. What’s not to love about fall?

    Hi Cindy
    Just love seeing your beautiful velvet pumpkins and how you use them to decorate your home.
    Autumn in Charleston is brief but a beautiful change. What I notice more is the crispness in the air and how clean and vivid all the colors are. No haze and humidity.
    Happy Fall!!

    I love seeing all the velvet pumpkins!

    Wow! I love your collection of beautiful velvet and feathered pumpkins rolling down your staircase.
    I love the cooler crisp weather change and long walks in the autumn season. Thank you for the opportunity
    Of winning my very own lovely pumpkins.

    I love the opportunity to switch the decor up in my house to reflect the season. Decorating with pumpkins and fall colors is always fun too!

  11. Angela Hendricks says

    September 19, 2018 at 6:51 pm

    I love the weather getting cooler and NC has the most beautiful leaf color change! Plus all the yummy pumpkin dishes, Fall is the best season of the year!

    Fall is the end of a very long and hot summer for us. It feels like a reprieve!

    I love autumn, it’s my favorite season and I just love everything about it. However today I am really loving those velvet pumpkins. I typically decorate with primitive antique furniture but I can see these just spicing it up a bit. Thank you for sharing.

  14. Tammy L. says

    September 19, 2018 at 7:23 am

    I love everything about fall!!… October is my birth month, and I celebrate All.Month.Long. Festivals, pumpkin patches, decorating pumpkins, and more than anything just driving and walking and enjoying the Appalachian scenery. <3

  15. Jordan says

    September 19, 2018 at 12:02 am

    My favorite thing about autumn is all things warm. Sweaters, blankets, scarves, heat on again, tea, and fleece sheets… Here in Seattle, anyway..

  16. Penny says

    September 18, 2018 at 1:49 pm

    What do I love about autumn? Better said, what don’t I love about autumn? Not to mention, what don’t I love about velvet? Velvet brings back memories of my Mom making a red velvet Christmas dress trimmed in white faux mutton fur around the color and cuffs! Well it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw! That is why I am in love with velvet — so when I saw these pumpkins I just started swooning! Love them!! Love this blog too!

  17. Tiana says

    September 18, 2018 at 6:02 am

    Fall is my favorite season. I’m drawn to the warm earthy colors, and I love the heavier fabrics. It’s been so hot here in Tennessee I can’t wait for some brisk air!

  18. Vivian Strange says

    September 17, 2018 at 4:22 pm

    I love Autumn because it shows how amazingly beautiful change can be. The colors are warm and inviting…….. it’s my favorite season!! And your velvet pumpkins are just beautiful!!!!!

  19. Jeanne E says

    September 17, 2018 at 2:09 pm

    Hi Cindy, What I love about Autumn…I love breathing the clean, crisp air; enjoying the changing colors and the crunching leaves underfoot while walking out to the barn; cooking s’mores fireside in the evening; sitting on the porch and watching the geese gathering on the lake before they fly south for the winter; and the cozy feel of the LoveFeast Shop pumpkins on the coffee table while curling up on the sofa with a cup of hot cocoa. Thanks for the gift of your inspiration and the giveaway.

  20. Pamela Howard says

    September 17, 2018 at 12:12 pm

    There is definitely something special about fall. It’s the smell in the air, crisp mornings, plaid wool scarves, bulky wool sweaters, boots, boots, boots, sitting on the front porch under a soft blanket, hot cider, bonfires and PUMPKINS!. What’s not to love!

  23. Ann Duncan says

    September 17, 2018 at 11:07 am

    I love how everything in the garden is grown in and full, and kind of messy. Then the leaves turn and start to fall. Thank you for the giveaway.

  24. HappyHauteHome says

    September 17, 2018 at 10:21 am

    Hi Cindy, let me start by saying that your pumpkins are beautiful! All the rich colors and texture are to die for! And you displayed them beautifully on your stairs. I love Fall as well. I love all Fall elements and colors like pumpkins, squash, acorns, pinecones, heirloom pumpkins and the gorgeous colors of the leaves changing is my favorite part of the season. I love cooler temperatures and morning dew. There is so much to love about the season. If I won the price I think I would spend it all on velvet pumkins! I have never had one but I would love to decorate my home using them. Thank you!

    Denise

  25. Donna says

    Hi Cindy, I love decorating the house for autumn with pumpkins faux and real, especially the white baby boos! Inspired by you, I am using moss balls for the first time this year and absolutely love them. They are a little expensive, but they will transition well into the Christmas and winter decor. Are you able to use yours more than one year?
    Thank for including me in the drawing for the pumpkin giveaway!
    Warm regards,
    Christina

    Living in Florida, I appreciate the cooler temps as well as an annual trip to Atlanta in October.

  32. Galinda says

    September 16, 2018 at 7:43 pm

    I adore fall, all the fabulous color, the sound of leaves crunching as you walk and seeing the coziness of Lamp lights on through the window. The wonderful smells of pumpkin, Carmel and vanilla and oh those incredible unusual never one of a kind pumpkins. Happy Fall Y,all

  33. Katie Mansfield says

    September 16, 2018 at 5:16 pm

    I love the cooler weather and the warmer tones coming back into the decor. Your pumpkins are gorgeous.

  34. Marie says

    September 16, 2018 at 4:51 pm

    My favorite part of fall is the fresh crops of apples, apple cider and apple butter!

  35. Katie Bonga says

    September 16, 2018 at 3:53 pm

    The best part of fall is persimmons and the beautiful red and yellow leaves everywhere!!

  36. Carolsue says

    September 16, 2018 at 1:25 pm

    I like Fall because it’s finally cooler! And I love the colorful leaves and pumpkins — and just about everything!

    I love Fall because it represents a reward and a reset. (I think the New Year’s Day is for personal plans and goals.) But Fall is new beginning to me. A reward first for surviving a winter and a summer and then a reset time. The colors deepen and run riot thru the city and countryside. Colors intensify, temps cool and that is a spark to my brain. These things allow my brain to clear and focus and enjoy at the same time. For me, this is when I really focus on home because of the upcoming holidays. (New Years for me is where I focus on my health and body.) I make plans for my home until next Fall.

  38. Rita Garretson says

    September 16, 2018 at 12:42 pm

    Autumn is a wonderful time to enjoy the days of falling leaves. Having the porch decorated for harvets and later on October adding the Halloween witches. In my home I place swags and lights…to the tables my collection of pumpkins. Your velvet pumpkins i could see so many way to blend with my decorations.

  39. Rebecca says

    Rose bushes and asters putting on their final show of color before they rest and sleep thru winter – so pretty – I smile.
    The pumpkin colors are amazing.

  44. Botanic Bleu says

    September 16, 2018 at 12:39 am

    Cindy,
    I love the cooler temperatures in October. We still have bright blue skies with lots of sunshine, but the temperatures are perfect… 70s to low 80s and low humidity. Perfect weather to sit on the porch to read.

  49. Tammy Sweatt says

    September 15, 2018 at 6:07 pm

    HI Cindy, This my first time seeing the velvet pumpkins a d now I want a few. Fall is my favorite because living in New Hampshire the trees are turning their beautiful shades of colors, the crisp mornings, seeing our favorite pumpkin farmer bringing in all the pumpkins so that we can go look at and find our perfect ones. White pumpkins ,the traditional orange as well as some of the newer ones, warm apple cider donuts, knowing that it is almost time for the honeycrisp apples and most of all seeing our grandchildren playing their favorite fall sports soccer and basketball, that last summer cookout and evening reading a good book curled up in blanket. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of velvet pumpkins and the chance to win a few.

  50. JuliaW says

    September 15, 2018 at 5:56 pm

    Fall is my favorite season and it has been since I was a little girl. I now have 2 young boys and they love fall too because that’s when I make my first big pot of chili. At the first sign of cooler weather. I also bring out the hot chocolate!

  53. Virginia L-C says

    September 15, 2018 at 3:16 pm

    Being from the Southwest, i love the cooler weather that autumn brings. The change in the weather definitely sends my mind into overload thinking about all the various holidays that are just around the corner. Halloween is one of my favorites and the velvet pumpkins shown on your post are so beautiful and would be a unique way to bring spooky magic into my home.

  55. Julie says

    September 15, 2018 at 1:42 pm

    You make everything beautiful!! I’m in love with these pumpkins! Since it doesn’t get cool here for quite a while, my favorite thing about fall isThanksgiving and SEC football!! Let’s just say “GEAUX TIGERS”

    My favorite thing about Fall on Florida’s coast is planting flowers! This is our season to start putting in annuals. I just filled our window boxes with purples and fuchsias.

  58. Mary Odom says

    September 15, 2018 at 11:08 am

    Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to win these beautiful pumpkins. Living in South Florida, we do not get season changes:(. So adding pumpkins, fall leaves, and brewing apple cider helps bring in the season. The purple set of pumpkins is so gorgeous.

  59. Linda caminada says

    September 15, 2018 at 10:20 am

    Love how those pumpkins spill down your staircase. What a beautiful collection you have. I try to buy one a year. My favorite things about fall are the cool mornings, hot chocolate in the evenings and the slower pace. It makes me want to nest and do projects in the house. And of course start decorating for the holidays.

  60. Sharon K. says

    September 15, 2018 at 8:46 am

    I love Fall, planting mums, pumpkins galore, pulling out everything rust-color, putting on a sweater and cracking the window for a good night’s sleep. Love your style!

    i absolutely love velvet pumpkins. I had ordered several a couple years ago and even gave some as gifts. Unfortunately last year when I went to get my pumpkins from being stored I discovered that some a little mouse had probably gotten in the box and had ripped them up and taken the stuffing. I was so upset! We got rid of that little problem but I haven’t replaced my velvet pumpkins yet. This year I’m looking into starting over with my collection. Thanks for your post. I love seeing all the different styles and it inspired me to try agin but this time they are not going in the attic for seasonal storage.

  63. Rosemarie says

    September 15, 2018 at 7:45 am

    I love the Fall season too. I love the smell of mulling spices simmering on the stove, apple pie, apple cider, the cool crisp air, and looking forward to Thanksgiving…my favorite family get together since it strictly revolves around family. Love, love, love your beautiful velvet pumpkins. I don’t have any yet….. but I may have to treat myself to some this year!!!

  64. Deidra says

    September 15, 2018 at 6:55 am

    Here in Louisiana we don’t get much of a fall unfortunately. But I do love it anyway. It’s my favorite time of year. I love wearing my “hoodies”, hot chocoholate, and the cool temperatures. Last year was my favorite fall of all. My friend accompanied me to a conference to Cape Cod and we explored there as well as parts of Maine and Martha’s Vineyard. It was magical !!!

  66. Nadine Maracle says

    September 15, 2018 at 6:35 am

    Fall is my favorite season. I think its because the weather is not too hot or too cold. The smell of Autumn, apples, pumpkins and being outside is what I enjoy. Its my time to be at home and decorate, get things put away and bake. Plus there are so many holidays to start thinkong about.

  67. Angela McInnis says

    September 15, 2018 at 2:16 am

    I love everything pumpkin! Also, I love the beautiful weather and how cozy the autumn season is!

She would be so thrilled to have one of these pretty velvet pumpkins to remind her of the lovely season

    Being a bird lover in Pennsylvania, Fall is a busy time around here. The humming birds are draining the feeders, getting ready for their big trip. Finch will soon lose their brillant yellow. and lots of Canada geese fill our skies. We also say goodby to white silent flocks of Tundra swans and lots of noisy snow geese.

    Autumn comes and thoughts of preparing the home nest for cooler weather reminds us of changes that will come.The colors of the leaves on my giant 100+ year old Oak tree, fall flowers, and of course fall decor. Spicy candles, warm cozy throws, and the comfort foods that we all love. My girlfriends and I will take a day trip to Amish country and stock up with seasonal goodies. Beautiful time of the year! Love those velvet pumpkins (they will look so pretty in my dining room.)

    September 14, 2018 at 9:30 pm

    My mama loved spring ,she said fall made her sad with the leaves dropping. I love fall like my Daddy. It feels like nesting and being nestled in to prepare for winter and the long days ahead . I like that cozy ,settling in feeling . Like God is preparing us to harvest and prepare for winter.P.S. the velvet pumpkins are so beautiful spilling down your steps!

  77. Penny says

    For years, autumn always meant a new school year, with new friends and new challenges. Autumn also meant new corduroy pants and new wool sweaters. As an adult I now look forward to the beautiful orange, reds and yellows of the leaves on the trees and the smell of smoke from fireplaces. I also love to walk the streets with the large trees, shuffling my feet in the leaves that have fallen and smelling the fragrance of decomposing leaves.

    My Birthday is in November, so the Fall issues in all of the holidays I love most. Halloween, my Birthday, our county Fair, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Fall rejuvenates my soul after a long, hot, Deep South, Mississippi summer.

    Love the crispness in the air after a sweltering humid summer. The sad thing is we have about two weeks of autumn then it becomes winter. So I make the best of those two weeks. I’m anxiously waiting till that first frost that cools things down.

    Hi Cindy,
    Fall always makes me nostalgic. I grew up in a small town in Illinois, in the 1960’s. New shoes and clothes for school, playing in the falling leaves, loving the crisp smell of wood smoke, camping, trick or treating half the night with NO PARENTS!! A magical time to grow up, the 60’s. Brownie and Girl Scouts start back up. I live in Alabama now, so fall means something entirely different…FOOTBALL!! Roll Tide, ya’ll..lol

    Fall is a beautiful time of the year! The trees proudly show their loveliest colors and the crisp air invigorates. Nights are cozy, soft throws come out and the aroma of baked goods and candles linger in the air. Velvet pumpkins are my favorite to display! The colors available are so yummy and the wispy stems are amazing!

    The velvet pumpkins are absolutely spectacular! For those of us who live in Southern California, home to perpetual summer, Fall is a mere fantasy. We are left to create an illusion to satisfy our dreams of cool days, crunchy autumn leaves under our feet, and all the scents and brilliant colors that are Fall.

    September 14, 2018 at 7:10 pm

    The thing I love the most about autumn is the color of the foliage, which is then translated into fabrics and soft furnishings for the house, including those luscious velvet pumpkins. I got just one last year, and am looking forward to collecting more as I find them. Autumn colors are tops with me! However, I am also swooning over the blues in your home, Cindy; you are such a talented decorator and inspiration to many!

  94. Kaycee says

  95. Crystal Abel says

    Sigh… your pumpkin collection is swoon-worthy! Sigh, again. 😉 This morning, as I walked out the door to head to my day-job, I was welcomed by the crisp cool air of autumn for the very first time this season! We have had an utterly amazing heat wave here in So Cal, and I was SO pickin’ pleased to finally have the temperature gauge in my car read less than 70 degrees for the first time in years… okay, maybe months, but it sure has felt like years! All that to say, the crisp mornings are my fave part of autumn! Thanks for offering the giveaway!

    September 14, 2018 at 2:06 pm

    There are so many things I love about fall. The changing colors of the leaves. The cool crisp air in the evenings. Fresh picked apples.

  116. Nicole Martin says

    September 14, 2018 at 1:11 pm

    Fall is my favorite season, too! There’s something absolutely, undeniably ROMANTIC about it! With leaves whisping and whirling about in the wind, boots and scarves emerging, and the cooler air nudging you just a little closer to your love…… some of us look forward to it all year! It’s also nice to see the seasonal trend of darker colors returning in fashion and home decor.

  117. Julia Houck says

    September 14, 2018 at 1:06 pm

    I love wearing sweaters and seeing my breath when I go on my morning walk. I love pumpkin coffee. I love the shorter daytime to spend more time snuggling with my two baby girls and husband in front of our wood stove. I love to be reminded to count my blessings. I love the smell in the air and beautiful colors.

  118. Melissa Ledet says

    September 14, 2018 at 12:57 pm

    OH CINDY!! WHAT A STUNNING DISPLAY OF VELVET PUMPKINS YOU HAVE CREATED ON YOUR STAIRCASE!!! Fall is my absolute favorite season. It brings in crisp cool air, colorful leaves, beautiful ground cover, cozy sweaters, soups, gumbos, and fires by the fireplace! Oh, and lets not forget naps on the porch swing bed! I seem to have more energy and vitality!

  119. Jan Mazzone says

    September 14, 2018 at 12:55 pm

    Fall seems like a beginning. Our focus tends to shift from “summer thinking” to “indoor and holiday thinking.” Though I live in a very warm climate, there seems to be a different “vibe.” I look forward to it every year! Thank you for this opportunity to win a fabulous prize!

    September 14, 2018 at 12:06 pm

  130. Crystal Roncek says

    September 14, 2018 at 12:02 pm

    I love fall because of the cool crisp air, a signal of the changing seasons along with the different color leaves. It’s refreshing beyond belief; and allows for an opportunity to reset one’s energy to align with Mother Nature. And of course, mentally prepare for the upcoming holidays. It’s also a time to get cozy without feeling lazy. I gotta day, I love the uniqueness of the velvet pumpkins. They are simply gorgeous.

  131. Teresa Knight says

    September 14, 2018 at 12:01 pm

    Autumn is my favorite season too! Unfortunately we live in Arizona now but I grew up in Ohio…. The beautiful leaves, crispness in the air, pumpkin patches, apple cider, and the list goes on… I try to go back to visit family in the fall, so I can experience just a bit of the joys of autumn!

  135. Nancee says

    September 14, 2018 at 11:40 am

    I think Autumn is nature’s way of telling us there is beauty all around us all the time, but we need reminding, so there are the changing trees, farm stands with pumpkins now instead of tomatoes, the cooler temperatures.

  136. Marg says

    September 14, 2018 at 11:37 am

    I love fall because of the perfect weather it bring. Crisp days and evenings, the nice slightly smokey smell and beautiful colors of the leaves. It brings with it my favorite days of All Saints Day and Thanksgiving, and the anticipation of Christmas soon after. Orange is my favorite color so I do love fall leaves and pumpkins!

    September 14, 2018 at 10:53 am

    Autumn is my favorite time of year! Warm days and cool nights, and oh my, comfort foods, farmers markets, colors and fabrics …. and plaid!! I love the quote from You’ve Got Mail to Shopgirl (Meg Ryan), “Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.” Makes me wish that Tom Hanks had my email ….

  141. Diane says

    September 14, 2018 at 10:45 am

    Fall makes me feel more connected to the earth somehow. I love that I feel less like I have to run around and do, but more like I can cozy up and stay at home.

  142. Mary Stevens says

    September 14, 2018 at 10:45 am

    I love the changing of the weather being able to sit by the firepit and enjoy friends! The color of the leaves changing colors and using all those different color to decorate my house with, turning off the air and letting the cool breese come in!! Love your pumpkin there so beautiful!

  143. Robin Bauer says

    September 14, 2018 at 10:43 am

    Fall is an awesome time of year. When I think about Fall I think about , sweaters, festivals and all the beautiful color of fall leaves. I live in SC so the seasons do not change that much. I have to create my own seasons by decorating my home.

  148. Beverly Poag says

    September 14, 2018 at 10:27 am

    I love ALL the velvet pumpkins! They will go with any decor. ONE of my favorite things about Fall/Autumn is all the people coming to our little peice of heaven, the North Georgia Mountains. To see them relishing in the beautiful mountains, the fall colors of the leaves, the sweater weather, the pumpkin farms, the apple orchards (where they can pick their own), and the awesomeness of the locals throwing out the WELCOME mat! Oh and lets forget the many festivals every weekend for almost 3 months. I have a guest room just waiting! Come on up and/or down!

  149. Heidi Webb says

    September 14, 2018 at 10:21 am

    September 14, 2018 at 10:18 am

    The change! Temps dropping from 100 to 70’s! The trees and the fireplace blazing red, orange and yellow! Food filled with spices and family celebrations: 5 birthdays, our anniversary and Thanksgiving!

    September 14, 2018 at 10:12 am

    I LOVE SEEING THE PATCHWORK QUILT PATTERN THE LEAVES DECORATE THE LAWN WITH IN THE FALL. THE RED OF THE MAPLE, THE PURPLE FROM THE PURPLE PLUM, THE SILVERY GRAY-GREEN OF THE RUSSIAN OLIVE, DEEP GOLD OF THE APPLE, BROWN FROM THE PEACH. SO MANY COLORS. I DON’T WANT THE LAWN MOWED UNTIL ALL THE TREES HAVE DROPPED SOME LEAVES ONTO THE QUILT.

    Hi Cindy. What’s not to love about fall. But living in New England, our family tradition is to go on a road trip apple picking and looking at the fall foliage. Thank you for the chance. 🙂

  165. Carole Prisk says

    September 14, 2018 at 9:31 am

    Autumn sings where I live with trees that burst forth in rusty orange, deep scarlet and golden hues. The weather calls for thick cable knitted sweaters, and walking the dog makes my cheeks bloom and my nose red. Apples are crisp, fat pumpkins are heaped in piles at the farmer’s market and cider appears on the grocery shelf. That’s fall where I live.

  166. Karen says

    September 14, 2018 at 9:28 am

    Fall is my favorite season! After brutal Texas summers, the cooler weather is the best. I also love pumpkins. There are a few from my collection that stay out all year round.

  167. Marlene Stephenson says

    September 14, 2018 at 9:21 am

    Hands down, Fall is my absolute favorite season! I love the warm, rich colors that Autumn brings and the cooler, crisp air. From mid-September through Thanksgiving my home is filled with the smells of apple cider and cinnamon. Available surfaces are draped in colors of Fall ranging from deep orange, harvest gold, chocolate brown and maroon. I scatter pumpkins throughout the house to compliment the warm hues found in my throws and pillows that fill every basket. It all comes together and somehow makes my house feel so cozy. I look forward to it every year!!

    I love fall because change of the season. The many shades of yellow,orange, and red leaves. The crisp air which makes you want to cuddle up in a fuzzy sweater and boots. The smells tickling your nose tempting you to indulge in all the fall favorites foods and drinks. Fall is the final dress rehearsal before we see all the greys of winter.

    I love these velvet pumpkins. The colors are so rich and vibrant. Would love to have some of them in my home to help it feel like autumn (even though it is still very warm here in Texas) Thanks for the giveaway!

    September 14, 2018 at 8:49 am

    The fall is my favorite season too! Crisp cool air, orange and now many colors of pumpkins, and the brilliant colors on the trees. I look forward to it every year. To sit with a cup of hot cocoa and a plaid blanket surrounding me, just as I am doing now reading your post. Thank you for sharing!

    You have an impressive collection of those gorgeous pumpkins. Living in Texas, fall is a bit of a mixed bag. While colorful foliage is not a big thing for us, I do love finally getting a break from the summer heat.

  185. Pay Hutchison says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:43 am

    I love the coolness that comes with fall after the heat of summer. And the colors of the leaves as they change their wardrobes from summer lightness to fall richness

    Love the velvet pumpkins!! Fall is also my favorite season, Oysters steaming on an open fire, with family and friends enjoying.
    Football, tailgating, soups, stews, cornbread, I could go on and on. I really do love Fall.

  190. Stephanie says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:31 am

    September 14, 2018 at 8:28 am

    Hi Cindy! I love fall and the seasonal changes it brings. Cooler temperatures (after a sweltering Texas summer), beautiful pumpkins and pumpkin spice lattes! But my favorite thing is seeing porches decorated with fall items. Love these velvet pumpkins!

  193. Kathryn Emmett says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:23 am

    I love the restlessness of Fall. Nature is hurrying to celebrate one more time with a burst of color like the pumpkins on the stairs!

  194. Jeanann Randall says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:22 am

    Fall is such a welcome relief from the humidity and heat. As well, I can’t help but marvel at the intentional design of one season to the next that our mighty God has created! Always enjoy and appreciate your lovely photos and resource information.

  197. Kathy says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:16 am

    I love fall! My favorite thing about fall is the trees in all their glorious colors. The spicy smells, tastes and the coziness of the season are all so special.

    I want to tell you that just ONE photo of your foyer chair showed, the rest was all ads???? I would LOOOOVE to win this as I have always wanted some of their velvet pumpkins so this would be a dream come true! Fall is my favorite time to decorate as the colors are my colors. I love the rich colors of Fall and LOVE the cooler weather, sweaters, PUMPKINS and mums, the fireplace on the patio at night, apple cider (or apple wine)!!!! I could go on and on. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!!!!!

  202. Kathy Conley says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:06 am

    I LOVE fall ❤️ It’s my favorite time of year here in the South. The ‘Indian summer’’ with the colorful changing of the leafs, crisp cool mornings, perfect for prepping the garden for winter.

  203. Shirley says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:06 am

    Hi Cindy! Fall is my favorite time of the year! The cooler weather is a welcome relief and I love my fall decorating. I also enjoy cooking all my favorite fall foods such as hearty stews, soups and wonderful deserts made with apples and pumpkin. Thanks for the giveaway!

  204. Patricia Post says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:03 am

    What I love most is the colour! The leaves on our maple trees are a feast for the eyes, and I can where a cozy sweater while enjoying the golden autumn sun. For us, Thanksgiving comes early, so I can almost taste the cranberry sauce when I see those lovely fall colours.

  205. Lucia Corwin says

    September 14, 2018 at 8:00 am

    FALL LOVE…crisp air, sweaters, blowing leaves, first fire in the fireplace. AND…those glorious pumpkins which would look fantastic in my shop full of painted vintage furniture!

  206. Linda Rubin says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:58 am

    I love the fall because the temperatures are cooler and there is something about fall that I just can’t describe. I live in Missouri and the summer months can be brutal.

  207. Kathy says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:54 am

    I love fall and all it brings! My favorite thing is the trees in all their glorious colors and just the coziness of the season. The velvet pumpkins are a beautiful favorite and I have collected a few. Your collection, however, is just gorgeous! Thank you for the giveaway and the shopping discount!

  208. Kathleen says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:49 am

    What a beautiful sight!!! All those gorgeous velvet pumpkins on the stairway…. be still my heart!
    Fall is one of my most favorite seasons! I grew up in NH where the crisp nights & cool mornings set the stage for amazing multicolored foliage and a harvest of crisp, juicy, sweet apples! Here in Central PA, the transition to Fall is a bit more gradual and the foliage not quite as brilliant, but I’ve grown to enjoy it just the same. Those first crisp mornings, gathering the perfect pumpkins & mums for the steps and walkway, the warmer afternoons…. are all things I start dreaming about during those last hot steamy summer days! The fact that my birthday is in early October is a plus, too!
    I enjoyed your beautiful post, Cindy!

  211. Daisy Dianne Bromlow says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:34 am

    Fall is my Favorite Season – the cooler temperature , the Vibrant colors , the smells , watching the animals gather their food ( especially the squirrels ) , the shorter days , my cooking and baking . Everything Fall ! I live just outside of Charleston,S.C. , so our weather for most of the year is hot and humid . We’re lucky if we have two weeks of cold , because of my health I thrive in the cold ,,, so living here makes me sad . Soo for the short weeks of fall temps I ABSOLUTELY come alive . I don’t like velvet but your pumpkins are GORGEOUS ! , going to make some . Have a blessed day .

  212. Jo Wyrosdick says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:33 am

    I look forward to the cooler weather, the lovely colors of autumn. I love to decorate with pumpkins. And changing out my clothes so I can wear cute tops and jeans.

  213. Kathy says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:29 am

    Cindy, I love almost everything about Fall, but especially when the dry, cool winds rustle leaves and you get the sound along with the scent of drying leaves. I love walks in the woods at this time especially since the colors and scenery is so beautiful.
    Your velvet pumpkins reflect these colors, as well! Thanks for this lovely post and giveaway!

  214. Regina Schifani says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:29 am

    Beautiful pumpkins! What I love about fall is cooler temps and football! Oh, and a little slower pace.

  215. Denise Foy Temple says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:26 am

    I LOVE Autumn and Fall because it’s the end of our hot and humid Mississippi weather. The foliage changes to a beautiful hue and the cool breeze starts to flow. It’s my chance to change my decorating to fall decor. Did I mention that it’s my favorite time of year? That I LOVE PUMPKINS I’ve always wanted some of the velvet pumpkins in the pastel colors. I desperately need some for my mantel. I just bought these little white ones at the grocery store but the Velvet Pumpkins would be a show stopper look. Thank you for the Giveaway. ibgardning@yahoo.com

    My favorite thing about fall is the changing of colors in the leaves. I live in Kentucky and our summers are hot and humid. The velvet pumpkins are beautiful and elegant.

  218. Teresa Brumley says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:15 am

    The thing I love about Autumn the most is the cooler temperatures! I live in Kentucky and the summers tend to be very hot & humid so cooler temperatures are a welcome relief!!

    Hi Cindy! Those pumpkins are just gorgeous! Your Home is so beautiful! My favorite thing about fall is all the scents of candles! Pumpkin spice, leaves, crisp morning air!! I just love it! Even though I live in Florida, it just seems to bring about a cozy feeling! Love how you displayed your velvet pumpkins on the stairs! Just gorgeous!!

  220. Jo Ann says

    September 14, 2018 at 7:08 am

    What do I love about fall? Reprieve from the heat of a hot Texas summer; the anticipation of family holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas; the boost of energy that cooler weather brings and most of all the crisp air and beauty of God’s creation.

  221. Connie Williamson Chandler says

    September 14, 2018 at 6:49 am

    Holy cow! What do I love about autumn? EVERYTHING! The cool nights, the sunny days, the soft rains, the grey morning mists, the falling leaves, the moist ground…..the smells of cinnamon and apples and crackling fires, the wind in the trees, the bounty of harvest, the beginning of the quiet of winter. Everything.

  226. Karenann S. says

    September 14, 2018 at 6:20 am

    Thanks for the beautiful pictures! Autumn is my absolute favorite season. The leaves on trees put up a glorious display of color, and as a professional artist whose whole day is spent focusing on color, the entire outdoors becomes a source of delight.

  230. Sonja says

    September 14, 2018 at 5:45 am

    There are so many things to love about Autumn, especially here in New England, but my favorite by far are the beautiful colors the leaves turn. It wouldn’t be Fall without the colorful display!

  231. Lisa Moreland says

    September 14, 2018 at 5:42 am

    Love these little velvet pumpkins! So adorable. I have made a few with my daughters’ satin baby blankets and use them to decorate their room now that they are older. I hadn’t ever seen them until you posted them several years ago on your blog. Your stairwell looks so pretty. Like little jewels falling down the stairs. Love the swan pumpkin!

  232. Hazel Rearden says

Who says pumpkins have to be orange? 🎃 With a li Who says pumpkins have to be orange? 🎃 

With a little paper clay, decorative moulds, chalk paint, and touches of antique gold, simple craft store pumpkins become elegant French -inspired treasures. I love the beautiful texture and old world character the moulded details give each one….and no two are alike!

They’re gathered in an antique dough bowl for a soft, sophisticated fall centerpiece that can be enjoyed year after year.

“It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who “It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives—the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember.”~Ronald Reagan

To every family who has sacrificed a loved one so that we could enjoy our loved ones today, thank you.
