Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway Winner Announced, Pumpkins, Fall Traditions, Festivals & Celebrations

My Minnie & I were leaving gymnastics and I noticed this beautiful tree and snapped a photo with my cell phone!

I will admit that I don't care for Fall because it gets really cold here in NH and I know what comes after. I am a summer girl who gets a little sad when the beach closes, the weather turns cold and the leaves fall off the trees so I try to make the most of the season by finding fun activities. In our house we love to carve and decorate pumpkins. Every year I do something Lilly, Pink, Girlie or all of the above! Here are some photos of this years pumpkins.

My Little Pumpkin with the pumpkins we made

We had so much fun shopping for Halloween costumes and carving and decorating our pumpkins.

Custom carved Lilly pumpkin ~ we decoupaged with Lilly Taboo napkins and spray painted the floral pick on top

Our custom carved palm tree, sponge painted pink and hand painted floral pick with Lilly ribbon

Below are some photos of our pumpkins lit at night 

Below are a few photos of previous years pumpkins

Miss Bella in my store display window during the Keene Pumpkin Festival. We had 90,000 visitors that year!

While pregnant with Olivia ~ just found out I was going to have a girl...hard to remember life before her!

Saturday we attended the 20th Annual Keene Pumpkin Festival. Keene (city population 23,000) was the Guinness World Record holder for the most lit jack-o-lanterns in one place! The record was 28,952 until recently when Boston (population 645,000)stole our record. The Keene Pumpkin Festival is pretty amazing, especially for a small town. Scaffolding is set up and pumpkins are displayed as tall as the buildings in downtown. Attendance is usually 70,000 people, or more, from around the world who want to see and smell 28,000 carved and lit pumpkins in one place. There is nothing like it in the world! For more information on the Pumpkin Festival click HERE

Below are some of my personal photos from Pumpkin Festival.

Scaffolding as tall as buildings filled with carved pumpkins

Looks so pretty at night and smells so good!

My favorite thing to put in my Lilly Pulitzer koozies? La Croix Pure Sparkling Waters!
