If I bring another pumpkin in the house I will be divorced. This will not stop me from looking. Do hope she has something new and different.

@panda1234 Zulily usually has tons of all sorts of pumpkins, not enabling, lol.
@mousiegirl you are bad. I am so addicted to Zulily. One more pumpkin and I will have to pack my bags and the pumpkins.

@panda1234 I went nuts over the velvet pumpkins at zulily last year, no more of them.

@mousiegirl Joann Fabric had lots of the velvet pumpkins last year. I bought several when they were at 40% off...no more for me.

Do you think she'll have any mercury glass or illuminated items?

I stay to one storage box for autumn now. I don't want light up things, and I'm set for pumpkins.

And add to your list - no more glitter!! I have many of Valerie's pumpkins, but I rarely put batteries in them. They look great without the light.....some of her items don't light up the entire piece, so prefer no light.
I really would like to see some "natural, earthy, rustic looking" products ...wood, straw, wood, acorns, leaves, wood etc. I am tired of shiny, glittery, glitzy decor.

@corita - I also have several Valerie pumpkins and never light them up--and despite my dislike for mercury glass, I even have a few of those that are lovely without illumination.

I agree that more natural products, especially high-quality carved wooden or stone options, would be fantastic. Ceramic and stoneware pieces are also welcome (though I have so many ceramic pumpkins that I might kick myself for saying that!).

@corita

How did I forget no glitter! When I was getting rid of seasonal pieces the first things to go were glittered stuff, regardless if it was a favorite of mine. I was tired of finding shiny months later.

Mercury glass shatters terribly(how do I know that? ;( ) and I don't want to pay for the light up portion if I won't use it. Give me regular glass that has strength.

I do use mostly natural in my house. I like real acorns, wood, rocks, linen, wools, and I buy the real mini pumpkins etc at the grocer.
