Pumpkin Vase
 


         Pumpkins seem to be autumn's mascot and there is no
     better way than to create breathtaking centerpieces that bring
     fall foliage right to your home.

         Select a nice round pumpkin and cut off the top and scoop out
      the inside.  Place a plastic container or pot that sits snuggly
      inside the pumpkin. 

           Inside the bucket or pot place a piece of floral foam (cut to
      fit if necessary).   Add water so the foam is soaked and there
      is an ever so slight pool of water at the bottom of the bucket.
      Arrange seasonal flowers, dried leaves, berries, etc. so that
      the bucket is hidden.  Place pumpkin on your table, mantle, or
      in your favorite place in the home. 
   
 

This is a wonderful centerpiece for thanksgiving, however it is just as beautiful to display this at the kitchen table during the autumn season.  It's festive, warm, exciting, and will keep everyone's hearts full of love and all of fall's treasures.
