Tis the season

Noooo – not THAT season – the glitter season.  Which is separate from the holiday season.  I refuse to get into the Christmas spirit until Thanksgiving has had its due.

But I can get the glitter out.  My glitter sisters are all nodding their heads knowingly – at least the ones that aren't preoccupied with getting that elusive sparkle off their forehead…

(It's hard to tell but that white pumpkin is glittered too).  I found this little project on MarthaStewart.com. And I bought the glitters at Michael's- they had 30% off all MS craft stuff on Monday when I went in.  Even at full price her glitters are worth it.  So many pretty shades and it is the finest, most powdery stuff. Gorgeous.

I used white pumpkins – the little ones came white and the other I painted off-white before applying the glitter. 

I also put white glitter on a nude (not painted), orange pumpkin and it looked really pretty - very frosty – but not quite the look I was going for my entryway.  So it is sitting on my Dad's stoop next to the large Halloween pumpkin we never got around to carving.  Have you ever noticed how long un-carved pumpkins last?  They'll be sitting out there until Easter.

So tell me, who, right at this moment has glitter on their person?  Go on – be honest.  Join me on the dark, sparkly side.
