In my opinion, the best thing about Autumn is pumpkins! I just adore these huge orange vegetables and often end up feeding my family pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie until they’re well and truly pumpkinned-out! I wanted to up the ante this year and added a pumpkin doll to the Autumnal madness. I can’t help but smile every time I see him sitting on my kitchen table, tucked between the actual pumpkins.
