"Whether it’s an intimate setting or formal affair, a joyful Thanksgiving table, at which everyone can come together, is the crowning glory. So if you only have time for one arrangement, I suggest creating a beautiful centerpiece using gourds, pumpkins, winter squash and bits and bobs from the garden. The key to making it interesting is to work with objects in varying sizes and textures." ~ P. Allen Smith

Dipper Gourds make WONDERFUL BONGS

[@ginafriend1690]

Looks great with the complimentary flowers, Allen! All I could think was having them dry out, painting designs on them and using for musical shaker instruments!
Always dance! 😉

I have started a gourd and pumpkin trellis . Made it out of my daughter old play gym. If successful going to share with families that can't afford pumpkin patches my 10yr old idea.

Stunning! The colors have a dramatic impact beyond the traditional fall red, yellow and orange. I love it! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

I’m adding these to my list for next spring. I love them, green AND dried! Do you have problems with squash bugs with these? Those little buggers got all my pumpkin plants last spring/summer. I LOVE what you’ve done with these!! 👊 Just spectacular!! That is one BIG BEAUTIFUL BOOS BREAD BOARD! Love it!
