Are velvet pumpkins still popular?

itsmetoo — Fri, 16 Aug 2019 17:26:34 GMT

I know red trucks are still a hot item but was wondering about velvet pumpkins. I have a few from last year and have been thinking about getting a few more but wonder if I am too late to the party.

Good question.

I haven't been to a home store in months, like since Christmas time last year, so I have no idea what is out this year for fall or Christmas decor.

@itsmetoo - If they make you happy, use them and buy them! Decor is such a personal thing, and trends change constantly, so it's best to just do what makes you smile.

I still like them! I get mine from an Etsy shop. She has lots of colors and sizes, handmade in the USA.

Not as abundant as they were several years ago, but if you like them, as I do, then they have a place in your fall home decor.

I am too old to follow trends in my home decor. I display only those pieces, old and new, that bring me joy and complement my personal home style. Trends are primarily designed to part you with your money often. That does not work for my pocketbook. I tend to shop vintage first, then new.

Thank you, ladies, for your replies! I always do what others have said and display what I love whether it is 'in' or not. I was just curious because when things start to die out in popularity they aren't as readily available in stores.

I didn't buy velvet pumpkins when they first showed up a few years ago because I was using other decor. Just this year, I purchased Valerie's new ivory candle rings that include velvet pumpkins. Even if velvet pumpkins are on the way out, I think I will enjoy using these items in my decor for a few years. Since no magazine editor is visiting my house any time soon, I don't feel as though I have to be on the cutting edge of decor trends. 😀

@Marsha2003 Pumpkins will never go out of style no matter what they are made of, so say I, lol. I pay no attention to any of that what's in, just buy and enjoy what I like. I have a lot of velvet pumpkins in all sizes and mediums, love them all. I bought Valerie's orange pumpkin picks, can always use picks here and there.

Can't imagine my holiday decor for any holiday is going to be a financial asset. Makes me happy to buy only what pleases me.

I've seen velvet pumpkins at Home Goods.

I have seen cloth pumpkins at several stores including Pier 1 and Home Goods. As long as as you like an item, that's all that matters.

I'm a big believer in what I like more than what's popular when it comes to home decor and especially seasonal decor. The more luxe it is the more I like it. It's your home and surround yourself with what you like to see. I use the kitchen to display any "new" item or something the kids find for me. This is what works for me at my home.

I’m not seeing as many in stores as they once were. But there are plenty on Etsy.

I personally still love them and plan on using them again this year. I don’t think these are something that I will grow tired of anytime soon. I’ll buy more if I see some I fall in love with.

If you like them, get some more. I'll use my red truck decorations even if someone proclaims them no longer popular.

I don't think things like that go out of style. Every year there are new things because retailers want to keep us buying new every year. I haven't decided if I will have hubby take my Fall box out of storage this year. If I do, I will be using my velvet pumpkins and my velvet scarecrows.
