Cinderella Pumpkin

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday

♥

This little pumpkin reminds me of 

Cinderellas pumpkin

 that turned into a Coach 

When I first saw this little pumpkin it was tarnished brass 

and not very pretty in fact it was 

so tarnished 

{ we live near the beach and things  get rusty and tarnished quickly}

that our neighbor was going to throw it away

On our early morning walk together she handed it to me

 and said

its so tarnished and awful but would you like it!!!!

It took  me about one second  to say yes 

and then about two more seconds

 for this little ugly pumpkin to get painted white 

I left  the underside  of the top unpainted so you could see the before 

{Love}

that the leaves were attached with a tiny screw on the top

 I was able to remove the leaves and just paint the pumpkin

It was easy to reattach the leaves

 after the paint dried 

{Love}

our little Cinderella pumpkin

and our sweet neighbor

It is really true one persons junk is another ones treasure!!!!
