Primitives, Pumpkins, and Junk. . .

siride May 27, 2022

Hello, hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

We took a trip South to Huntington for a surprise ‘75th’ birthday party for my sister. So much fun to chat with family!

This morning I was thinking about all of the ‘bling’ that is so popular now days. And although I love it, I still have a fondness for primitives.

See, even my holiday décor is eclectic. A mixture of styles.

I have pulled a small amount of primitives together here in our basement family room. A few primitives mixed in with a bit of junk.

Sitting atop my incubator I have a trio of vintage suitcases.

Inside one I placed an old Clorox bottle, a wooden bowl with etched stars and a cute kids Halloween book. A rusty rack of some kind holds a couple of Halloween graphics. More rust is added with the fireplace shovel and the splatter utensil. Must confess, the shovel is there to hide a t.v. outlet. lol!

It’s so fun to read about the adventures of ‘The Jack-o-lantern Twins”.

A smaller Clorox bottle holds a branch to pull your eyes up to my primitive ‘October’ stitching.

A few more brown bottles sit on the cabinet with two wooden spools.

I found this old key amongst my sisters items I was selling for her at our vintage sale. Loved the case and the patina on the key.

Another brown bottle sits inside a rusty tin.

I have had this primitive pumpkin head doll for years. I thought she was perfect for this vignette! Notice the little brown insulator on top of one of my spools?

In the window sill I have a funny ‘primitive’ cat hanging from an old shutter. I bought him in CO 6 or so years ago. I thought he was so funny that it made him cute! A white and black (spray painted) pumpkin sit atop a rusty metal tray.

As you can see, I don’t have curtains yet. Still trying to decide what I want to do. I did buy the chair at Pier 1. Threw a gold pillow in it for Fall. The light fixture turned candle holder I bought from Tracie at Fishtail Cottage,
