Bread on the table

Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade link party.  Are you getting excited about the change of seasons?  While I absolutely love summer, autumn with  its change of colors in the trees, earlier sunsets and approaching holiday fun makes me glad.  I just want to say “thanks” to Linda from A Labour of Life for creating our October parties!  Be sure to stop by her blog and show her a little luv.

Happy October or, better yet, Happy Thanksgiving Month, Canada. What a fun month. Welcome to our party!  This week our host is Linda from A Labour of Life  and she is so happy that she gets to share her love of fall, and her national holiday the Canadian Thanksgiving. That is why she is celebrating fall in all its glory.

Celebration of All Gourd’y Details

This week, a return back to all things fall. Celebrating everything pumpkin. Normally we offer a variety, food, sweets, crafts and tables but today is a sweet switch on my norm.

Paper Pumpkin Crafts

First up are the cutest Paper Pumpkins from My French Twist . She tells us I’ve never been a big fan of wrapping my house in giant spider webs, but I have to say when those first crisp breezes of Fall begin to blow through my windows, I can’t wait to begin some serious seasonal decorating. And pumpkins. The only thing better than eating them is crafting with them.

Got a furry pet who sheds??? (All furry pets shed, right?) Well, I tried more than one solution before I found the Shark vacuum cleaner.  Oh my goodness, what a RELIEF!  It cleans up pet hair, people hair and everything you want a vacuum to suck up EASILY and the canister cleaning is a DREAM COME TRUE!  Press of a button. That simple.

Four Ways To Keep Your Pumpkins Fresh

Leave a Comment

Keep your pumpkin decorations fresh longer – four techniques!
pumpkins, household tips, decorating

Pumpkins make such pretty autumn decorations. I love them in groupings on the front porch or even as a fall centerpiece on a long table. Whether you carve them or keep them intact, you are racing against time. Soon, your decorations will decay and the beauty will be lost. It is inevitable. But you can move “sooner” to “later” if you plan ahead!

Here are some household hints to help you get longer life out of your pumpkins…

– Spray with lemon juice. 
After you’ve carved your pumpkin, spray inside and out. Repeat every couple of days to increase longevity.

– Treat with a bleach solution. 
Combine 1 T bleach with 1 quart of water. Pour into a squirt bottle. Wipe the pumpkin clean and then spray with the solution. Allow to dry.

– Refrigerate them.
Bring your pumpkins in at night and keep in a cool place. A cold garage is a perfect location or, if they are small enough, even in the refrigerator.

– Carve from the back, not the top.
Typically, people cut the top off their pumpkin to make a lid. Try cutting a hole in the back, instead. The top is strongest part of the pumpkin and will keep it in shape longer if it is not dislodged.
