front yard tour

02 October 2009

I wanted to bring you to my friend Marti's front yard~it is downright beautiful. I featured her last fall, and I couldn't help but grab my camera and start taking pictures when I was there. She's not only a decorator, but a gardener as well, and so it makes for a killer combination. Her husband is in agriculture, so he gets to bring home some amazing pumpkins.







Aren't these ones cool? I thought they were cement at first!

Funny story with this one: Marti's husband Russ stuck a little pumpkin inside the planter as a joke to see if she would notice. She loved it so she just filled it up. Doesn't it look great?


I love the ones with "warts" ~ they remind me of a witch's nose:



Thanks for letting me share your autumn goodness, Marti!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend~see you back here on Monday!

  2. She's got it all! And the pumpkins look fantastic. Like Carrie..., I'm saving my "pumpkin money", but since I have an orange room, it's not so bad.

  3. If I didn't love Marti, I would hate her. In a good way.

  5. Wow! I love the ones she nestled into the garden ~ they look like they grew there. Love the little "striped" ones in the pot with the wire, too.

  14. It looks so pretty...she did a great job!
    I must say, though, that the warty pumpkins in general kinda gross me out. They look diseased :P

  22. I love the unique pumpkins/gourds/squash-whatever they are. Before we moved from KC last year, I bought 3 unique pumpkins and so glad I did because they didn't have them down here.
    I had one of those sage green ones, a dark reddish pink orange color, a salmon color and a creamy white (different shape than your friends).

    Her yard is gorgeous.

  23. Oh wow! that yard looks amazing!! Lucky for her she can get all of those pumpkins!! that can get SO expensive!

    I got one of those green/blue pumpkins yesterday! I love it!- they didn't have any of the warty ones or white ones though - I need to go some where else - the pumpkins were very slim pickins this year!

    Thanks for sharing!!

  28. That just looks so beautiful and effortless - although I know there was nothing effortless about sticking all those pumpkins in the wire planter. She's got her own little pumpkin patch!

  30. I love decorating for fall. It doesn't have to be expensive. Let nature be the inspiration.
