Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

With Halloween less than a week away, what perfect timing for National Pumpkin Day! I’m planning on celebrating with a tasty treat! Pumpkins are one of my favorite fall decorations. Big, small, orange, or white, pumpkins are an easy way to bring a natural feel of autumn into your home. They’re also one of fall’s signature flavors. Pumpkin flavored treats are not hard to find this time of year. From our favorite lattes, to a nostalgic piece of pumpkin pie, there’s no shortage of pumpkin goodies. In honor of National Pumpkin Day, I whipped up a quick dessert, made with only 4 simple ingredients. Creamy layers of pumpkin and whipped cream work beautifully in the stemless wine glasses from our Anniversary box. Add a crunchy snicker-doodle cookie to the rim and serve chilled. Plated on our Beatriz Ball Amoeba platter with a cute mini pumpkin to celebrate this Pumpkin Day in style! Yum!

Need more pumpkin inspiration? Create a centerpiece for your table using pumpkins and candlesticks. Create height with pillar candlesticks and surround with mini pumpkins for a warm, inviting look.

Make your table settings stand out by placing a single mini pumpkin on a white dinner plate. Highlight the plate with a contrasting place mat. Use a fall scarf for a warm, cozy table runner and to create depth and visual interest.
