Oil can pumpkins

Did you see this darling pumpkin photo holder on Jane's blog last week?  Mamie Jane always has a new project ready to share using found vintage objects. She is so clever. Her talent has earned her blog a mention in the the latest issue of Flea Market Style! Congrats, Jane. 

The project is made from a vintage oil can. I see these everywhere these days. You can easily pick one up for $5-10.  So, that's what we did. Kara and I each made a pumpkin oil can to use in our fall decorating.

 The one above is mine. I added some rusty wire that had been wrapped around a pencil. And, even though acorns don't grow on pumpkins, mine got one! We finished the pumpkins off with a light spray of brown glimmer mist. I love how they turned out. Double click the photo for a closer look.

Kara liked the more traditional pumpkin shape, like Jane's. She decided to simply add a vine to hers and a little acorn too.  You really have to try this easy project.  Thanks, Jane!

Are you as excited about fall as we are down here in sunny Florida?  It is my favorite season. The weather is perfect, and I love fall decor.  As another bloggy friend said this weekend, at 12:01 on September 1st, I plan to get started! Thank you so much for your comments and follows my friends.

I hope that each of you stayed safe this past weekend. I know many of you were dealing with Irene. xoxo
