Fifteen on the 15th

It's October (can you believe it?) and we love seeing porches decorated with pumpkins & purple mums.

So we bring to you a pumpkin inspired collection of fifteen lovely things, ideas & activities on the 15th.

Fifteen:

Fluffy (no-sew) pumpkins from Whimsy Girl. This idea comes from her 2008 archives, but I had to try this myself & it was so simple and cute! If you have kids (or aren't so crafty) this is great for them to feel REALLY special/helpful.

Fourteen:

MyraMelinda's

Pumpkin Buttons

Thirteen:
Nothing says good morning like pumpkin pancakes....yummm! Time to stock up on the canned pumpkin!

Twelve:

From the famous Amy at Living Locurto...check out these fun, free, new printables for Fall

Eleven:

Pumpkins? No, but we love this look for Fall. Thank you, apartment therapy!

Ten:

Live in Michigan?? Check out Dinges' Family Fall Harvest! Seriously, fun for all ages. A yard full of pumpkins, u-pick azaleas & concord grapes, pony rides, hot cider, caramel apples...yum.

Nine:
"A little something lovely" from the darling Ashley at Merry May Handmade

Eight:Does Fall have you down? I think 99% of the blogs I read just LOVE Fall. If you are one

of the few who have a hard time with the fact that Summer is officially over, and a long winter is ahead, well, here's an idea: Dance party in the kitchen. Turn up this tune. Pumpkin Soup is a good representation of Kate Nash's quirky and often unexpected lyrics & sound.

Seven: If you're in the kitchen dancing to Pumpkin Soup, and you get hungry for some actual pumpkin soup, well, here's a recipe. Also, if you live in Chicago and like soup, The Hideout has "Soup & Bread" all winter in support of the food banks...check it out.

Six:

Did we already mention the pumpkin pancakes? Sorry, I can't get them off my mind!

Five:
Can't find pumpkin? Is there a shortage? Appare

ntly there is in Missouri. Check out Emma's Sweet Potato Cupcakes. (Emma is ElsieCake's sister from Red Velvet Art....if you don't know what I'm talking about, go here NOW).

Four:

Great weather for a scarflette from KNME

Three: Do you like bunting? I like bunting! All different kinds of styles, colors, & sizes.

Two: "It's possible for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage" ...ahhh the magic! Endless possibilities.


One: This is where we look to you, reader ;) What's your favorite pumpkin inspired activity, item, recipe? Go ahead, we're listening!

thanks for joining us for the VERY FIRST Fifteen on the 15th!
