fall pumpkin decor: give thanks mantel

I’m not a Halloween person (#sorrynotsorry, sister). I might be able to throw together a pretty fantastic spooky wreath (if I do say so myself), but that was pretty much the extent of my Halloween decorating this year.

BUT (but!) I’m kind of obsessed with all of the pretty pictures I’m seeing of post-Halloween fall pumpkin decor. Gone are the ghosts and ghouls and goblins and the whole creepy factor. In its place is it’s sleek, delightfully grown-up cousin. It really is as if the pumpkin grew up from its awkward experimental stage and suddenly found its footing as a perfectly polished lady.

I’m particularly crazy about anything with a sort of modern twist. I’m talking whites and golds and polka dots.

Let me just stop talking and show you what has me drooling…

 Holy cuteness, am I right?!

It’s inexpensive—especially if you already have a bunch of uncarved pumpkins from your Halloween decor—and it’s simple, two of my favorite things. I’m in love.

What do you think? Are you going to hold onto some of your pumpkins once Halloween is through? They’re kind of perfect for Thanksgiving, don’t you think?
