start appearing everywhere?

I am excited.

I am sharing a recap of 8 easy ideas for adding a sprinkling of charm to your porch and patio

with pumpkins.

Because pumpkins keep on going right through Thanksgiving in decor

and they mix perfectly well with twinkling lights…

and the porch and patio deserve one more autumn shout out this year

So today- it is all about pumpkins outdoors.

And a whole lot of them.

Pumpkins on the steps

On the mantel

This is an oldie…

but a collection of pumpkins is always a simple and charming

look for a fireplace and mantel.

Because- it is fun and easy and creates a warm and welcoming area

to sit and enjoy a cup of cider.

Lanterns and pumpkins on the porch

Well lit steps are a good thing any time of year-

I love lanterns and faux candles-but remember safety first –

you don’t want to leave them unattended.

Pumpkins on greens with urns

Simple planter decor that is sure to delight guests.

Gathered together By the fire pit
