Pumpkins, Acorns & Leaves . . . Oh My!

I found these fun fillers from a wonderful Etsy Shop called Ninna's Attic.  She makes these adorable leaves and acorns as well as pumpkins and more!  Don't wait too long to check her out though -- they go fast!  I missed out on pumpkins and plan to go back for some of those myself.

 I used them to fill one of my small drawers that I change out for the seasons.

Have you ever heard of a pumpkin TREE??  Me either . . . until my neighbor (who is a gardening genius) brought me this plant over.

 He planted these from seeds and gave me a plant.  I plan to keep some of the seeds and TRY to grow my own next year.  Apparently you can find these plants in SOME Trader Joe's stores although I haven't seen any near me.

The 'pumpkins' are just a few inches around.  We'll see how long they last apart from the 'tree' -- hopefully as long as a typical gourd would last -- we'll see.

I love the pop of glossy color they add to my display.  Now head on over to Ninna's Attic quickly if you want to get your little holiday 'fillers'!
