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!!!!

  9. I love your pumpkin vignette. I just moved some furniture around and created a new vignette, but I might have to copy your look.
