Believe it or not, somewhere between getting The Primitique ready for a Grand Opening this weekend and life, I recently celebrated a birthday and hosted The 5th Annual Pumpkinfest at my house.We again enjoyed making Junk Pumpkins. Wanna see?
I provided bins of "junk" and the creating began.
Click here to enjoy the pictures I took at the party. And click here to enjoy David's pictures.
Have you decorated for Halloween?
In the midst of utter chaos the last few weeks, I just didn't have time to get the regular decorations out. Instead, to decorate I used random items laying around my house.
Seriously.
This old urn happens to have my initial on it. I just scattered Grandma Joy's teeth around and it added one eerie element, don't you think?
A bottle of teeth is creepy, isn't it? Yes. The Tooth Fairy saved all my teeth.
I think this old, broken mannequin face is a little spooky.
And a well placed mannequin hand even gives this fella the heebie jeebies!
So, I know. Not your traditional Halloween decorations. But, they work!
Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteDid I say Happy Birthday?
;-D
Thanks, Debra!

Your pumpkins are unbelievable! What a cool idea! You spent a lot of money on pumpkins too! :) However, the funeral urn with the dentures and the container full of teeth is freaking me out a little...no, a lot! Wonder whose ashes were in that urn? Are they still there? Yikes!

Malisa, guests bring their own pumpkins. I just provide the junk and work tables. It's fun to sit back and watch!
ReplyDeleteOk, I see the teeth, but aren't there usually eyeballs???? Love the pumpkins. Good luck with the grand opening.

Good recall, Margo! There was a jar of glass eyes, I just failed to get a picture. haha ~Mindy

ReplyDeleteLove ALL of your pumpkins! Great job! Cathy got a couple done for our Hico show and they didn't last very long before they were gone...I just had my Gallbladder out last Thursday. If I knew your were collecting body parts for Halloween, I would have had them save mine and sent it to you to add to your collection....lol! Happy Halloween...Deidra...aka Girls Gone Junkin'
Cutest Pumpkins ever!! Happy late birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteDeidra, I heard about your Gallbladder. Ick. Indeed, I bet it would have been cool to have in a mason jar with formaldehyde! Shoot! Glad to hear you are on the mend. Come see me! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteHope ya had a good Birthday and yes those teeth are creepy fun. ~judy~
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you are putting me to shame at my favorite holiday of the year. I love those punkins and the dentures and urn....what an idea!

The Pumpkinfest is always a blast!
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkins look like so much fun! I don't like to carve them so much either, so I just paint them usually, but adding this junk is very clever!
ReplyDeleteMindy those are the cutest pumpkins ever! I hope that you were able to have a great birthday & pumpkinfest!!!!

p.s. got to use my chair from THE P this weekend... it was a BIG HIT!!!!
What...no road kill? I'm wondering how Margo could "see" what was missing w/o the eyes.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Just gotta say - I love it all down to the eyebrows on that pumpkin in the 3rd picture - cuter than hell! (no pun intended)
