• The pumpkins in a few of these ideas came from my fall front porch and later became part of myPumpkin Centerpiece with the addition of flowers and seeded eucalyptus.
• Use trays, platters, plates and candles that you gather from a stash of family heirlooms, thrift stores or the back of a cabinet at grandma’s.
