You're my honey bunch, sugar plum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin!!!

It's time for #MarketFriday with my sweet friend @dswigle- and I have such a fun post planned for today! hehehe I happen to LOVE pumpkins! They are so cute and they are perfect to represent fall, and they taste delicious in pie! hehehe So - we are going to take a little tour of pumpkins from different markets all over! We're starting with these giant ones on the east coast of the US! You can see my husband and daughter posed here with them! hehe

And now you can see the artist is at work, trying to carve a special pattern into the pumpkin! hehe Look at how intense she is!

Heheh! She couldn't be satisfied with carving a spooky face - our little artist had to carve a rose!

And here is a closeup of it - It's really hard to get that detail, but she did a great job! hehehe

And here is a thankful tree with a bunch of lovely little pumpkins surrounding the trunk of the tree! hehehe I think I was considering if I really wanted to get this - but... nope, I didn't jump at this one! hehe

Isnt this gorgeous? I believe that we were over at Universal Studios, Hollywood when we got this picture! It's an entire pumpkin "tree" hehehe I would love one of these for Thanksgiving decorations - but can you imagine needing to store it and buy all the pumpkins each year?? LOL

I don't know about you - but this guy doesn't seem like he's worried about any mining area ! He looks like he's guarding all the pumpkins! hahaha

And down at the little farmer's market at the bottom of my mountain, they have some earrings that are created by local people - and here we have a whole BUNCH of pumpkins! hehee

At the Underground Gardens in Fresno ( so definitely on the west coast now!) - they had lovely little pumpkins adorning the trees planted there! hehehe I love how they have those knobbly little growths on them - they look like textured pumpkins!

And they certainly don't have to only come in orange! Pumpkins come in a variety of colors and patterns! Stripes too! hehehe

And plain? Sure! A lovely light shade of green! I've always wondered if the flavor of these pumpkins vary greatly??? I have seen a pumpkin pie made by one of them and truth be told, it didn't look very appetizing! hahaha There is something very appropriate for pumpkin pie to be orange! hehehe

Now we are back to orange, but the shape is more oblong than.... well, than pumpkin shaped! hehehe And I love the golden strips on it too! heheh Isn't it amazing to see how many different kinds there are???

Now, I love real pumpkins but how can you pass up taking a shot of this cute little fabric pumpkin! I was over near Pismo Beach and thrift-shopping with a bunch of my friends - and you wouldn't believe how many pumpkins we found! hehehe Well - you're about to get a glimpse!

Bedazzled pumpkins?!?! hehehe sure why not! And if you're gonna have jeweled little gourds - why not throw in a pink - and an argyle one too! hehehe

Ceramic, and candle holders, and wax versions, and even flocked velvety ones! hehehe They had a veritable pumpkinpedia of sorts here! hahahaha I loved them all, but I didn't dare to buy them all! Where in the world would I store them year long? LOL

And this one might just be my favorite - well at least of the fabric ones! It's hard to choose - but @bluefinstudios doesn't this remind you of your mom's special coffee mug? hehehe I think so! Maybe that's why I think it stands out among the rest - and is why I had to save the best for last! hehehe

Can you tell that I love the pumpkin?? hehehe They just represent a wonderful time of year when the leaves are changing colors beautifully, the air is crisp, you can smell apple pie and mulled cider in the air - and you know that the holiday season is really about ti kick off with lots of family around and good food!

I love it -I hope you love it - and I really hope you enjoyed my Market Friday: Pumpy-umpy-umpkin edition! hehehe

Seeing your daughter's amazing artwork reminded me of why pumpkins do so poorly in school!

Eventually someone scoops all their brains out.

Nice carving on the rose. It's amazing. The guy you described as guarding the whole pumpkins made me laugh, he sure is. 😅
The pumpkins are beautiful, the fabric pumpkins are something else. Amazing! That one looking like @bluefinstudios Mum's mug like you said? 😅, It's the most beautiful. If I went with you, we would buy them all. They are just too beautiful to leave behind. It's a colourful market Friday, I must say. So "Pumpy-umpy-umpkin* indeed. 😅

You brought me an abundance of pumpkins!! Orange ones, white ones, even blue and white! I am in Pumpkin heaven!

Throws you a Tootsie.

What a great trip that must have been! I remember last fall when you were on the East Coast, am I right? Your daughter is so freaking beautiful, and talented too. I hear she is nice too. The whole package! What more could a parent ask for? That rose was stunning! Did she freehand that or use paper from the kits they sell? I am a cheater and an untalented one at that, so I use the kit.LOL

BTW Orange and white pumpkins taste almost exactly the same. I know, I cannot make myself bite into it, but, if I only had that left to eat or starve, I might be able to. We do what we have to. Pismo Beach is the best! Look at those pumpkins! Bejeweled ones! You are another day closer! Are you leaving tomorrow? Or next week? @bluefinstudios mom has a cup like that? Isn't blue and white china gorgeous? Okay, even porcelain, or pottery!

Storage is always a real problem! I really loved that tree and your whole post, in fact, ~ Love~!! You certainly have pumpkin love and it makes me want to make a pumpkin cake tomorrow. I froze some pumpkins that we harvested last fall, you know, for the leaner times when the fresh pumpkin would run out! Well, you are such a great sport, and thank you for being part of the challenge! I cannot remember, did you drop the link on my post?

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world. Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday

Sadly, mom passed in 2020... but yes, she did have a coffee mug that pattern (Or close)> when my brother and I were breaking up her house, I sent the mug, and one of her tea towels, to Miss Dreemie.
