Coastal Autumn Pumpkin

My big white pumpkin has welcomed Autumn in with several different looks over the years...... for 2026,  I gave her a Coastal vibe!

I put a vintage doily on the coffee table that I felt looked similar to a "fish net"
Then, I set my pumpkin on a milk glass cake stand so I would be able to decorate UNDER her.....as well as ON her....

 

The first thing I put under my pumpkin was a white ceramic fish.   I sat my sweet fish on a blue paper doily for a little additional coastal feel.....

The stem that came on my pumpkin was short & stubby .....
(as you can see in the BEFORE pic near the end of my post) 

I added all kinds of stuff to the stem to make it bigger & more elegant....

I put doilies,  sea horses, & little blue bows on my pumpkin....

and..... for some final touches, I put more fall decor under my pumpkin

See how short & stubby her stem is!

  

One fall, she had ....a still little.....but REAL pumpkin stem...

Last year I gave my pumpkin a floral design & big pink bow.....

Hmmmmm.....how can I dress my pumpkin next Autumn????   Any ideas????
