Bonjour!
Hope your weekend is going well!
Do you know that we got our word "pumpkin"
from the French word "pompion"?
As in pom pom?
Well...neither did I.
The actual French word for pumpkin is potiron.
and it isn't pronounced pot iron!!
I could get soooo carried away with
a study of the history of our language!!
BUT...
I choose instead to spend my time
creating fun stuff!!
Woohoo!!
Like these delightful little potirons
covered in vintage French dictionary pages!
Actually, Maddy did the labor on these,
since she is now in my employ!!
I added the stems and embellished them!
These little cuties just make me smile!
And they will be in the shop tomorrow~~
So...if they make you smile, too
go check them out!!
Have a joyful Sunday
full of blessings!
Hugs,

Darling. I will definitely check them out, and buy, too. ;-)
Hope you are feeling better. Lots going on here, but I decided to try and blog a little today.
Sending you love across the miles...

Cute, cute, cute! I love anything that involves vintage book pages. And the fact that they are French makes them that much better! Thanks for the little language lesson, too:)

Love these Becky. No matter what language you use...these are darling!

Inspirational... that's what these are. I'm in the mood to decoupage a pumpkin.
I love this little pumpkin...I found it on Pinterest for inspiration and I'm blogging about the one I made tomorrow. I'd love to include a photo of your pumpkin if it's okay.
