PUMPKINS To Carve or NOT To Carve!

A dear friend, who was almost my 2nd grade teacher - long story - often sends

quotes and links to quotes. Thought I'd share these two Halloween inspired quotes!

“Men are like pumpkins. It seems like all the good ones are either taken or they've had everything scraped out of their heads with a spoon.”

"On Halloween the thing you must do Is pretend that nothing can frighten you And if somethin' scares you and you want to run Just let on like it's Halloween fun." -19th Century Halloween postcard.

Last evening we went to a Pumpkin Carving Party - It was great fun! I'll bet you are going or have already been - - - I must confess my 'Favorite' pumpkins are BLENKO GLASS CO. http://www.blenkoglass.com/ see photo above of 2007 frosted PUMPKIN.

A frequent reader George often sends me articles about FENTON GLASS http://www.fentonartglass.com/ and I must admit his Fenton Pumpkins are very beautiful.

Consider adding one glass pumpkin to your Halloween Decor - they last forever, make great hostess gifts - are a good gift for Teachers ( a break from apples may be appreciated), the October Birthday Gift, my own parents set a couple on the deck each year in late September and don't move then until December 1st. Blenko Glass is remarkably strong and durable. Pictured Below are Handpainted Pumpkins from the party - not BLENKO!
