Beautiful Blue Pumpkins

Have you noticed all the gorgeous blue pumpkins? How could they not remind me of the sea. They're painted in the most gorgeous shades of blue!

The Blue Pumpkin at Gracious Southern Living even has a Rope wrap around the stem.

Shaunna of Perfectly Imperfect paints pumpkins every year, so this year she couldn’t wait to try out Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint on them.

Bonnie of A Wee Meenit also used chalk paint. She actually took an Annie Sloan Chalk paint workshop and was excited to see what she could do to the finish on faux pumpkins with the color Greek Blue that she loves so much.

And the muted hues of Susie Harris' Blue Pumpkins remind me of an overcast day at the beach.

I really wanted the grey/green pumpkins this year. But haven't been able to find them anywhere. So I'm thinking of painting mine grey. But I don't know if I will because I like them natural. The Annie Sloan painted ones are nice because they are not shiney.

I love some of these coastal pumpkins. Such great colors of blues and greens!! I am going to paint a pumpkin and see how it comes out! Have a great weekend.
