I like this little turkey....he's going
on my sister's pumpkin!
My storage tubs.
This little guy is for my brother's pumpkin
and going to find his home on the "Blue Moon" pumpkin.
Some of the silk flowers.
I like these feathers.
I usually buy my decorations after the season, so that I can take advantage
of 50 & 60% off sales. I store them for the following year.
Silk flowers and leaves,
Sunflowers, miniture corn, grapes, mums, wheat, nuts, or whatever you want on your pumpkin.
Remember each pumpkin is different,
so you have to just start putting your ideas together.
Next step...
The glue gun!

I found this pewter oil lamp topper at the Solomon Wine Tasting Room in downtown Murphy's. There were several styles to choose from, one being this chicken which I have name "Mr. Rooster" and several pewter flowers.
The instructions suggested using an old wine bottle for the base and filling the bottom with small pebbles and then lamp oil. I found this champagne bottle at a local thrift store which has a heavy metal bottom. It's very secure and seems to be working well; however I'm not sure I like the chicken in this bottle. I'm thinking the pewter rose would have been a better choice, and perhaps I can find something a bit more country for the Mr. Rooster. Perhaps, we'll have to go back to Murphy's and pick up that pewter rose!
