SPOOKtacular Carved Pumpkins {Southern Living}

 

Do you carve pumpkins? I have not carved a pumpkin for years as I prefer to keep mine in tact for the entire Fall season.

Southern Living online recently shared pictures of spooky, elegant, and jolly pumpkins.

Take a look at these masterfully carved pumpkins.

I love how this pumpkin is used as a beer, wine, or champagne cooler. What a clever idea.

  1. Good morning, Ron! I'm back in LA and enjoying my first cup of CC in my beloved oyster coffee mug since last Wednesday and reading your blog--:) Even though I read it everyday while in CA, it just wasn't the same without my CC in my favorite mug! ;) Anyway, I love the pumpkin carvings--saw the Pumpkin Carving Wars on Food Network last weekend--always amazing. I think my favorite one in your blog is the Starry Night one, because that is on of my favorite paintings! Have a great day! :)

  3. Lots of creative pumpkins here! I carved an intricate pattern once and found it to be a lot of work! Now, I also prefer to keep them in tact. Nice stopping by to visit!

    Kindly, Lorraine

  4. I'm like you Ron in that I choose not to carve my pumpkins either. That way they last through Thanksgiving. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying the creativity of others. These pumpkins are amazing! I love the window box too!

  5. These are amazing! When I do choose to carve, I only cut through the top layer and scrape it off so it leaves the yellow pulp show through. Stays longer that way. Happy Fall!!
