If they fade with all that sunshine...don't throw them away...get out a paint brush and bring new life back to them. Now what in world am I talking about? When it was time to pull out the pumpkins that I have been putting in some concrete planters for the past two years, I noticed that they were sooooo faded and there was no way I could have these out looking like this. Now that's when I got out some old white ASCP and that problem went bye bye!!! This was way cheaper than heading out to a local craft store to buy new ones...work with what ya got ladies...it's all about shopping your nest!!!

They look wonderful in the urns and I am all about thrifty too.
Thrifty is the new chic! I have a pumpkin I need to paint too! Thanks for the idea!
i love those pine needle nests! they are perfect for the pumpkins!
Love your urns with pumpkins, very festive!!!!!
Great idea, Linda! I think I'll probably get one more year out of mine and I'll paint them fresh next Fall.
I brought mine out today and thought mine looked faded too! I thought why not paint them. We are thinking alike!
Hugs,
Donna
It all looks so beautiful Linda! :-)

Love the white pumpkins - they look great in the planters too!
Now that's my kind of talk...shopping the nest! Your pumpkins look great.
Have a wonderful day,

The pumpkins look gorgeous in the concrete planters. Love shopping my own nest.
Will be looking for pine needles and seeing them in a whole new light! THAT is such a great idea - love it!!!
Those are so cute and I love how you have them displayed. And that is an adorable AU sign!

I live in a world of tall pine trees and most all the little bird nest I find are made of them so I loved how you made the pumpkin nest with them. Thank you for the like of my wedding table scapes. I had every intention of marrying inexpensive clear glass candle sticks with the mason jars for a pedestal effect but time just ran out on me. Thank you for coming by. xoxo
Oh I just adore the bunny.
We often have the perfect thing right at our fingertips...Thanks for reminding us to shop our home first! Love the pumpkins in white!!!

I love those white pumpkins!! I have seen them with the persons last name initial on them too! Maybe another idea for next year!! Enjoy them!
PERFECT....oh the pumpkins look great in their urns, but the AU "wreath" on the door and the flag waving are super! I'm heading to the store for letters. This will be a wonderful house-warming present for my son and his wife. Thanks!!!

The pumpkins look wonderful all dressed in creamy white!!! Love them sitting in the urns to welcome visitors.
What a great idea about painting the pumpkins. I have a big faded light up cat on a pumpkin but I don't know that it would look as good :) Love your team spirit too!
I am so happy that you posted this. I can't find real white pumpkins anywhere in my area because of the wet summer here! I am getting out my spray paint. Thanks for the inspiration!
Please come enter my giveaway!

I need to find some inexpensive pumpkins. I'd love to paint them! Thanks for checking out my blog!
What a great and super easy idea Linda!! Thanx for sharing and have a fabulous Thursday!
Great idea Linda...they look great!
I love your white pumpkins! Coincidentally today, I was looking at my old pumpkins and wondered how they would look if I painted them white...now I'm inspired!
Hi Linda, Those faux pumpkins are too expensive to just throw away so painting them is a great idea. Love the concrete planters and your Aurburn sign. Thanks for joining the Open House Party this week.
Hugs,
Sherry
