On Saturday we made our way to the pumpkin patch and it was the perfect way to officially kick off fall. Upon entering we were pleasantly greeted by chickens, a rooster, sheep, goats, and even a cow; an unexpected yet somehow fitting addition during our trek through rows of pumpkins galore. We settled on three-15 pound beauties for our front porch and a handful of pint-sized ones to adorn our mantel and entryway table. I added a bit of sparkle to two of the smaller pumpkins with the help of Mod Podge
(my number one go-to glue for all things DIY) and Martha Stewart glitter

I too experimented with some serious glittering this weekend, and I am now officially hooked on Martha Stewart Glitter! As if we had any doubts that her's would be the best, right?
