All Pumpkin. All the Time.

Every year, without fail, sometime around mid-August, I start to get a serious craving for all things pumpkin. Maybe it's because pumpkins are synonymous with Fall, and after a long, hot, summer I am more than ready for cooler days. Or maybe it's because pumpkin is one of the tastiest, most versatile vegetables out there.

Whatever the reason, I cannot wait to get in the kitchen and make something new and delicious with my favorite ingredient. Only problem is, by the time October rolls around, I can't remember all the recipes I wanted to try.

Not this year. This year I have Pinterest.

I'm collecting all the mouth-watering pumpkin recipes I can get my hands on (most sweet, but some savory), and putting them all on a Pinterest board.

And by gum, I vow to make them all by Thanksgiving! Okay, don't hold me to that. But I am going to make as many as I can, and share some of my favorites here.

Do you have any favorite pumpkin recipes? What's your favorite Fall food?

Victorian Harvest

I love seasonal wreathes. Why should the Christmas season get all the fun? This gorgeous wreath from Stylishstems is so rustic and romantic, perfect for the last days of summer right up til Winter.

This sweet little brooch from Glassbeadtreasures features two teeny, hand-sewn pumpkins. They are mounted in a filigree frame made from raw brass and backed with a pin. I can't imagine how much patience and skill it takes to do this!

I made a bird-feeder out of a dried gourd once; I can tell you it didn't look nearly as good as these beautiful examples from Crazyforcreating. Each gourd is hand painted with a Victorian motif and comes with a free portion of bird seed (one gourd per listing).
