      Dear Christy, these little pumpkins are so cute and soft looking, 😍 I'd love to squeeze them 😂 And they look really expensive too! I love the colours you used, cream, pale blue, and the brown colour of the stems look so on trend and coastal, which is very fashionable here right now. BTW, speaking of on trend coastal themes, your house is just lovely with all the gorgeous furniture that you've upcycled yourself. You have great taste.
