More than the Christmas tree.

More than the first bulbs poking through the dirt.

More than the days getting longer.

I look forward to the arrival of pumpkins more than any other harbinger of a season.

What is it about those orbs of orange and white that make my heart skip a beat?

Maybe it is because fall has always been my favorite season, mixed in with the fact that you can do so much with pumpkins.

Countless DIYs and decor possibilities.

I know I am not alone in having a soft spot for pumpkins, so today a few bHome bloggers & I are getting together to share 5 of our favorite "perfect pumpkins".

Before, I head off to the patch for another, let's have a look...

Perfect Pumpkins for Fall

Jamie of So Much Better with Age ( I love that name on so many levels ) shares with us her favorite chalk paint pumpkin.  Jamie made this lovely pumpkin using creamy white chalk paint & dark wax. 

With Jamie's chalky white pumpkin she, and you, can enjoy touches of fall that work beautifully in a neutral palette. 

I love the soft tones & aged look ~ see, so much better with age!  You can get the same look with Jamie's help here.

Cindy at Edith & Evelyn Vintage went wood-landy with her perfect pumpkins.  Loving the moss, the natural elements and those darling stems.  Love a good stem!

Learn how to get this look using plastic pumpkins & preserved moss here.

From woodsy to glamorous!  Heather's perfect pumpkin over at Setting for Four sparkles & shines.  Her's is a DIY crystal pumpkin.

Isn't that fun!  So pretty with mercury glass for even more dazzle.  Get Heather's glam pumpkin tutorial here.

You could paint them any color of course, but I love the white with the black & white bows just as Yvonne has diy'ed hers.  For the tutorial click here.

Me, I started with a perfect little trio of white pumpkins, but couldn't stop there.  

While the three looked darling grouped on my sideboard, I had added a bit of this, a pitcher or two, some texture, a book, dried roses…and tossed in some acorns until I had built a fall vignette.
