I’m so thrilled with my little pumpkin plant pot display! This week I found some cute little ceramic pumpkins at Home Sense and I thought they would make great plant pots for this time of year. They look great in a simple display, but also fit nicely with a Thanksgiving tablescape I’m working on.
So what else did I find this week? I found that sometimes I feel like I’m on fire, and other times I feel like I have a wet blanket draped over me. This past week was the wet blanket week. I have a project hanging over me and I’m dragging my feet, and consequently I don’t even feel like working on the fun things. When I read Kims post this morning … well, oh man … how does she manage to hit the nail on the head every time?! I really needed to hear her gentle encouragement today … I’m going launch Microsoft Word right now, and start writing.

I have one of those pots and that is such a great idea for your succulents, I can see your beautiful table setting now.

Haven’t read Kim’s email yet since I missed posting of FF today. Man, I’ve got to get back in my groove! But I can tell you this … that planter and the succulent are a match made in heaven. I really love all these and since I haven’t done any punkin’ huntin’, I need to get busy!

Oh pretty! I like the way the white pottery looks against the green plant and the rustic wood. I have had a wet blanket week as well. I am trying to shake it off. A walk in nature helps me but it’s been raining for days now.

Your pumpkin pot is darling and because of it’s color it fits in nicely with your real little pumpkins…rich tones are perfect..shows a nice contrast..
I agree about Kim’s words today and like you if I have a difficult task…I procrastinate…I don’t remember being like this when I was younger…Oh well, I think I have the “i’ll do it tomorrow” attitude now…
Enjoy your weekend Viv..

Your pumpkin pot is simply adorable!!! Especially with the succulent plant in it. The image is a simple look, and the black background is perfect. I felt like I had a wet blanket thrown over me this week as far as creating photos. I took plenty of outdoor photos, but the “make” ones just weren’t coming easily. That is when I just “throw in the towel” and stop. A big project will often make me want to procrastinate as I try figuring out just where to start. Hope you were able to begin making progress on your project!

Your doing some very very beautiful work.. A spark for certain. I ve been sick most of the week and catching up. Get that blanket off you also.
Loved what you created. I havent shopped for a while and wont yet now for a while.
Have a wonderful Saturday. xo
Donna says
Barb, Hope you dug in and got the “job” done, so you can get your focus back to your beautiful photographs. I know the wet blanket feeling, and I’ll encourage you again and again to persevere. Your pumpkins pictures today look as though they belong in a a magazine spread – every detail arranged to tell a story, tack sharp, artful compositions. You rock!

How nice to find that combination of fruit and ceramic. Very tactile and lovely with the succulent green.
