The (re)Purposed Pumpkin

I bought a cheap bouquet of fall colored flowers yesterday at the grocery store without really thinking out the full 'decorating plan'. 

Today, the kids and I went around the house and gathered the surviving Halloween pumpkins and gave them a little Thanksgiving remodel.

To make the pumpkin vases, hollow out a small pumpkin, shove a (recycled yet clean) ziploc bag in the center, fill with water and flowers (a small potted mum or other such would work great here too) and there ya go! 
*If you add a touch of bleach to the water your cut flowers will last longer.

To make the pumpkin candlesticks, find a little girl with mad hammer skills and let her whack a hole in the center of those hard, little gourd pumpkins.  (Ours were formerly used as wheels on a Cinderella carriage.)

You can see we have a pattern emerging with  Emma and the hammer around here.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
