When I arrived at my friend, Sheila’s house last week, I saw this.
Of course I had to bring my camera over to take pictures. She was very gracious and let me take lots of photos of her awesome fall project. My friends have really been quite gracious in allowing me to bring my camera and take photos of their homes.
She got the idea from Country Living Magazine.
The cupcakes looked delicious. And since Sheila loves to bake, they are probably homemade.
Some of the cupcakes were even wearing Sheila’s handmade tutus.
I loved these candles that look like wine bottle corks.
She used black napkins and leopard print tags with the flatware.
Here are some more pumpkins.
I really like the drinking glasses with the tags and string on them.
She homeschools her kids and has a faux painting business, so I am not sure when she had time to do all of this. Thanks for sharing Sheila!! Let me know when you decorate for Christmas.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING THE PUMPKINS CAN BE FOUND HERE.
Those pumkins are very creative and beautiful.

I got that Country Living in the mail. And as soon as I saw that cover, I couldn’t wait to delve inside. Hers looks even better! Talented friend!

Love the pumpkins! I am going to have to do some of those! So much cuter than the time old orange or white ones. Where does she find the time? I have been on my butt for 3 days and have nothing to show for it!
I love the red toile one! I want to know how to do it!
Just pinned these on my pinterest. I LOVE THEM!!
Your friend is most creative and of course with the name ‘Sheila’, what do you expect?!
Love those pumpkins. Are those real pumpkins she’s decoupaged?
Be a sweetie,
Shelia
Great idea! I’ll have to figure them out!
Love the red toile one, too. My, your friend is really talented.
What great fall decor! I really love the mustache pumpkin…so fun and so well done!
I loved all the pumpkins, great idea! really beautiful. =]
To answer the questions, here is what I think Sheila did for the pumpkins. I believe they are real pumpkins and I think that is tissue paper that was applied with modge podge or white glue. But I will ask her to give a full report on her technique and will share it here.
Anita those pumpkins are fabulous!! Martina
The whole table looks Ah.Dor.Ah.Ble!
I too love the red toile one and have stared and stared at it to try and figure out if it is tissue paper! Love the glasses with the tu-tu-s too! Thanks for sharing it all with us!
Oh my! She did a wonderful job! I have seen a couple others redo the gorgeous pumpkins from the Countyr Living magazine – I was amazed when I received my copy! So very inspired now!
Enjoyed my visit to your blog,

What amazing pumpkins-
I am a little slow to fall this year, and if it weren’t for Amanda, I would still be sweltering and muttering.
I love your pears on your post.
Enjoyed visiting Miss Anita,
