Pumpkin Succulent Planter

 If Peter Picked a Pumpkin Planter…

Okay, that’s not exactly how it goes.

But – if Peter could pick a pumpkin planter –

I’m pretty sure Peter would have planted it with succulents.

;-D

I am so happy to join a new group of ladies for

a new monthly Blog Hop –

Celebrations of Home.

I love these ladies. I love our group’s name.

And, I am so excited to be part of it.

This month, the theme is Fall…and I am sharing

A Pumpkin and Apple Succulent Planter

Celebrating the Home.

I cannot think of anything more befitting for a group of

bloggers who write and share about projects and recipes

that are near and dear to our hearts.

I will be sharing a full list of all the participants below,

so please make sure you read to the end.

 …………………………….

My Fall decorating this year is following a few basic rules …

It has to be easy and it has to be budget-friendly.

I love this project because I already had all of the elements.

A white, craft pumpkin and some succulents.

It could not be any easier.

In fact, I have used this same design idea on my front porch,

planted with Fall flowers and sporting our house numbers.

 

All you do is simply cut off the top of the craft pumpkin. 

I use an electric, craft “Hot Knife” which I have had forever.

It truly makes the job sooooo much easier.  

It just cuts right through the foam.

They *sell for less than $10, and it’s well worth that.

Once the lid is off, fill with a good potting soil.

And plant.

Then, stand back and enjoy.

I tucked some moss around to add some

additional texture.

I love it. 

It’s simple.  Yet, it just sings of Fall. 

It’s soft and Autumnal and filled with some of my

favorite things.  I would say that is about perfect.

I placed it on my little blue, Breakfast Room chest. 

I filled the tiered-stand with wheat and added a

few red apples.  I haven’t purchased very much this

Season… but I did find these adorable ceramic acorns at

Target for only $3 for a large package.

 

I have them displayed on two cremeware cupcake stands

next to a turned-wood candlestick and heirloom pumpkin.

Did you notice I tucked in a few mini, red apples…

just like I did in my Easy Apple Wreath Update.

In a few weeks, I will share my Breakfast Room Table

Fall Centerpiece and you will see I carried this theme to

my table, as well,  to tie everything all together.

You’re probably going to notice one other feature I will be using

throughout my home this Fall.

A lot.

Natural, wild grapevine.

My husband thinks it’s a curse that our five acres are inundated

with wild grapevine.  I consider it a blessing.  🙂

I love tucking it behind prints. draping it along a shelf…

and in the case of this Pumpkin Planter… I used it to make

a “Basket Handle.”

 

A homespun, French-style striped cloth is a nice surprise. 

 

So, as you can see…The Everyday Home is slowly coming around

with touches of Fall here and there.

 

I will be sharing a Home Tour the first week of October and

I can’t wait for you to see my newly redecorated

Farmhouse Kitchen Reveal.

I would love it if you would PIN these images to

your favorite Pinterest Boards…

Please make sure you visit each one and share

some love with them, too.
