Karins Kottage Linky party- Pumpkins and Pirates

I am back from Italy and excited to get some fall decor going on in my house. It was so fun seeing the ideas from last weeks linky party and I am excited to highlight some pumpkin and pirates this week haha! I still have some jet lag going on so I kinda feel like I am a walking zombie so if I write weird you will know why.

These fun pumpkin decor ideas and yummy pumpkin brie recipe sound fabulous. The cute Pirate wreath is such a fun unique idea for Halloween! All these ideas are motivating me to get out my Fall/Halloween boxes from the garage. How many of you already have your fall decor up?

I did make one fun thing…a witch hat made from a paper bag! You will have to check it out here. It really turned out so cute!

Linky Party Pumpkins and Pirate Ideas

Ok I am dying over this pumpkin baked brie from Our Tiny Nest! The idea of using kitchen string to create the shape of pumpkin is brilliant!

This will be a must to make!

Our tiny nest had two posts that I fell in love with and this is the second one! Fall front porch decor that isn’t mums!

I am all about making a pumpkin topiary plus I love her idea using faux cabbage leaves in the bucket!

If you have followed me for a while you know that I love Pirate stuff for Halloween.

This sunken pirate ship wreath is fantastic! Debbees Buzz always comes up with fun things!

Here is another great post- 4 ways to transform dollar store pumpkins from Wm Design house . Dollar store pumpkins are the best to makeover into beautiful decor items for your home!

I made some yarn pumpkins using dollar store pumpkins and you would never know they started with the cheap dollar store one.

Thank you everyone for coming to my party each and sharing you fabulous ideas.

Karins Kottage Happenings

As I mentioned above I made this really cute witch hat out of a paper sack. I think I will be using it in a tablescape coming soon. It was so easy to make and turned out better than I thought it would!

Here is an older Halloween linky party that also has some fabulous ideas

    Karin, welcome back home from your second home! Thanks ever so much for featuring my pirate theme wreath! I didn’t realize how much you like pirate theme things before. Our baseball team is the Pittsburgh Pirates so there were several buccaneer and baseball theme birthday parties here over the years.

    Welcome back, Karin! My fall decor is rather subtle at home with a tablescape and a few small touches, but at the antique mall where I share spaces with my two Panoply sisters, we picked up on both back to school and Halloween. Sharing both today, and staying busy working on fall chores in the landscape. Rest up, and thanks for the party.

    I just put out some fall decor on Monday so I don’t think you’re that far behind; heck, the first official day of fall is today and it lasts for months. LOL.

My travel outfit tip- wear your denim jacket and raincoat to leave room in luggage. Loving this lightweight raincoat that is lined. It also fits great in my backpack.

White sneakers with leopard detail and super comfy and go with everything!
