Well…actually my husband identified it first!
He made fun of my latest and greatest creation and said it looked like a cantaloupe!
So I went back to the drawing board and embellished…
which is what I do best!
I love the stem. It’s a scrap piece of vintage lace wrapped around a cinnamon stick. The cinnamon stick had a space in the center to put a pin inside. So the stem is ‘stuck on’. It didn’t ‘grow’ that way! heehee!
I also added a earring to the top of my shabby chic pumpkin (thanks Cynthia for the idea…it’s not a brooch but it looks like one) and put them all on these shelves to enjoy.
I still have a couple more ideas
(and I still haven’t cut the velvet! heehee)
I’m thinking NEON ORANGE for the next one.
I’m joining Thrifty Things Friday!
Also Katherine’s Corner,

Do you have any creative ideas for my Fall Pumpkin challenge?
You know what they say…

I love your creation, whatever it is!! Very pretty and they all look great on your shelf. Visiting from What's It Wednesday and following you!
Very nice! White pumpkins seem to be all the rage lately.
I love it! Whatever it is or is not, it's pretty and vintage and fall-like.
Love, love, love your creations. They look so festive and cozy tucked in your bookcase.
A steampunkin!
They are the most elegant pumpkins I've ever seen. Lovely... Tell your hubby to behave himself...no making fun!
Love your lacey white pumpkin!
Warmly,
deb
I do love your pumpkins !
This is adorable, Diane. I love the photo in your header, too. xo
You've done a beautiful job! I love how you have arranged the shelves...you have a knack for it! My daughter comes over and "discreetly" rearranges my displays. She once had an art scholarship so she thinks she is the "last word" in artsy arrangement. I think you know it's right when you are pleased with how it looks. My stuff makes "me" happy and that's the important thing. Lovely, lovely, pumpkins!
aww cuteeeeeeeeeeeeee.
i love the saying so much..lol..
sweet spooky hugs

Well if it looks like a cantaloupe (and it doesn't) it's the best looking one I've ever seen.
I couldn't beat this Diane! Lovely!!
Hugs,
Oh Oh Oh..I have wanted a white pumpkin....you just gave me an amazing idea!!! thank you thank you! I love your lil. pumpkinlope!!!
You are just the best pumpkin crafter Diane. I love this one too. It's really sweet!
The white and lace makes me think of Downton Abbey's Dowager Countess!
I love it! With or without the stem!
How darling your pumpkins are!
Judy
Pumpkin or cantaloupe, either way it is really sweet. Love the embellishments.
Well, it looks like a pumpkin to me, and a beautiful pumpkin at that. I also love the one with the ribbons and earring on it. And right now, I'm looking at the one in your previous post, with that gorgeous print fabric on it, and it's so pretty. Your creativity is really showing this season. laurie
I am all over that large cream colored vintage lace pumpkin! I am looking for the pattern you used....it must be back a few posts. These are lovely Diane! They look wonderful in your bookcase!
Linda
I always love to come here and see what you created next. You are one talented lady!

Very pretty, Diane! And I love the pumpkalope term too! LOL Catherine
I love both of these and I think it definitely looks like a pumpkin. Those witches would be afraid of all the sweetness at your house. xo Laura
Love your gorgeous pumpkaloupe!
The gorgeous fabric and the touches of bling really take it up a notch.
Love it!
Hugs,
Patti
Oh, your pumpkaloupe is adorable! I love it!
What a sweet creation, so vintage, so unique. Love it!
FYI, my blog address has changed. Same blog, just new address. If I'm on your sidebar, you'll have to update the link address. Hope you'll stop by and visit.

I love your pumpkin and it looks great all blinged out! Cinnamon for the base of the stem is an ingenious idea...I bet your pumpkin smells wonderfully autumnal! Great post!
Diane,
Your little white pumpkin is sweet, and what a clever idea to use a cinnamon stick for the stem. I am seeing a lot of white pumpkins out there this year.
Love,
~Sheri
I love white pumpkins too! Keep on embellishing! Jewels make everything fantastic!
Diane...so glad that I could help. Love your pumpkins with touches of bling.
hugs,
Cindy
How sweet! And you know you're not going to cut into that velvet. :-) I once bought a beautiful wool sweater at GoodWill for a couple dollars because I was going to use it for crafts. It had already been shrunk by someone, so it would have been good for a purse or hat. ANYway, I couldn't bring myself to cut it up, so I gave it to a little granddaughter. :-)
I am in LOVE with this lace pumpkin. And I love how you embellished it. Well done my friend.
Hugs~
Pure sweet vintage joy.
I love it.
Happy creating..
Its a very happy place.
Woolie Fall Pumpkin JOY!
I do prefer your pumkin for your jewlery..its a great idea..very inventive.

Pumpkin or loupe - I like them! Especially with the touches of bling. :) You did good!

I love your pumpaloupe Diane. It looks like it's dressed for the ball! The added bling to your squatty one is so cute also. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Elegance at its best,,,,beauties Diane...great shots too
