you can visit Hot Skwash. They have a beautiful assortment.
This is great! Thank you
Question for you – where do you get the real stems???
You have to get them from a live pumpkin,squash or gourd. Ask a local pumpkin patch or buy a few pumpkins that have cute stems.
I got some from neighbor pumpkins after Halloween.
Definitely on my fall list this year! Last year was a bit too busy, but I remember how beautiful they were. I’ll be putting “girl’s velvet dress” on my thrifting list. 🙂
Just discovered this! I have one I purchased but would love a couple more. Time to use my 40% off fabric coupon perhaps : )
