Inspired by Charm likes Sweet Sweater Pumpkins!

 in the last few weeks of september, i was on a pumpkin-making mission
(i called it pumpkingeddon!) to prepare products for a huge corporate order.

but it was very 'hush-hush' and i couldn't share what it was for.
so i cut and stuffed and tied and tagged a few hundred pumpkins
and bagged them up in sets of three, one from each color palette (Light, Bright, and Neutral)
it was a special package created just for this company...
loaded them into boxes
and then shipped them off to chicago on a wing and a prayer.

from the corporate office, they would be re-boxed individually 
and sent off to customers who had ordered a 'grab bag' sort of offering.
yes, sight unseen!

i was finally given permission to share the news today:
my Original Sweet Sweater Pumpkins are featured
in Michael J. Wurm's 'Inspired by Charm' October offering for 
LOST CRATES !

Michael and i 'met' when we were both contributing writers for FOLK Magazine
[not in person, just in lots of word-y posts, comments, and emails]
and he has been very generous in sharing word of HOMEWARDfound with his fans.
[the man has over TWO MILLION Twitter and Pinterest followers!]
he's a 'style spotter' for Better Homes and Gardens Magazine,
 a contributor to home decor and design websites and resources, 
one of his bffs is Kim Myles (yes, the DesignStar winner!),
so he's truly a design STAR himself...
and I am so honored that he chose my product for his Lost Crate offering

Thank you, Michael at Inspired by Charm!
Thank you to Jack at Lost Crates!

Pumpkins, Remnants, and A Beautiful Mess


I am so very pleased to announce that my Original Sweet Sweater Pumpkins
are being sold by Kymberley Fraser in her beautiful retail shop, A Beautiful Mess!
Located in Agoura Hills, California, 
this 2-year old retail boutique is a mecca for stylish shoppers
including celebrities, designers, and media decorators.
It's just undergone a refresh for the season, and is loaded with fall bounty!

Kymberley will ALSO have a full harvest of my pumpkins in her always STUNNING booth
at the Remnants of the Past Antique Show in San Luis Obispo, CA in October! 

This show is produced by my friend Judy Watkins, 
and has been featured in many magazines and publications (recently in 'Where Women Create').
Rachel Ashwell named it one of her Top Five Shows to attend, 
and it is host to the very best dealers of antique, vintage, and artisan goods on the West coast.

That's a photo of Kymberley's booth from the June show... see what I mean?
Such inspiring presentation and stylish goods.
[I can't WAIT to see what she has planned for the fall show!]
I am honored that she wants to include my pumpkins in her lovely setting,
and I'll be heading up there with a van FULL of them for her!

I've also volunteered to be her slave during setup for the show, 
and will be in her booth for the event on Friday night and Saturday. (not Sunday, though).
I am looking forward to being at this absolutely wonderful show once again...
