BOOK REVIEW: Pumpkin Chic by Mary Caldwell
As a kid, most of us used to hate our veggies, be it broccoli or even the peas mashed into the potatoes just to be sneaked into our meals. Pumpkins and gourds were not an exception either and our mothers had to think of ingenious ways to get us even near them. Now grown up and facing the same troubles our mothers did? Fret not, another way is at hand. Decorate using pumpkins and gourds!
Carving jack-o'-lanterns has long been a Halloween custom. But pumpkins, gourds, and squashes also make wonderful decorating materials for home and garden throughout the year.
In Pumpkin Chic, you'll find plenty of jack-o'-lantern projects, but they are far from ordinary. There are many sophisticated and unusual ideas that include carved and etched designs.
From folk-art style Quilt-Banded Centerpieces to a rustic Window-Pane Lantern, you'll love making the most of nature's bounty.
This gorgeous little book is glowing with wonderful photographs and easy-to-follow directions you will want to try again and again. This book will definitely make you grin like a jack-o'-lantern at the variety of departures from the norm it offers.
