a couple of years ago, i attended my friend’s annual halloween pumpkin carving party — such a good idea for a get together! they removed the furniture from the living room, taped down drop cloths, provided a whole bunch of carving tools, and we all showed up with pumpkins and went to town. this particular year, i needed some inspiration (was a very creative crowd, so it was game on!) and i decided to go a little non-traditional — with a white pumpkin and some polka dots. also, easy. i found my inspiration everywhere, from 1952 Polka Dot House, to this print by ; even this image from collage artist below. dots galore.
pumpkin carving parties are super fun — and not just for little kids. we grown-ups had a blast getting creative with our pumpkins. lay down some , put out some buckets for the pumpkin pulp and seeds (oh, and save those seeds for later) and a whole bunch of and you’re good to go. oh, and probably some food and drink — our hosts made an amazing risotto, added salad, pizza, beer and wine. easy-peasy. happy halloween, everyone!
