In this post: Easy fall decorating tips using velvet pumpkins. How to layer, stack and display velvet pumpkins for lovely fall decor.

This is a sponsored post featuring Hot Skwash™ Pumpkins from LoveFeast Shop. All images and opinions are completely mine. Affiliate links also included. 

There is so much to tell you and show you today, so I’m just going to jump right in. First, I am excited to be partnering with LoveFeast Shop to feature their amazing line of Hot Skwash™ Pumpkins. Hot Skwash™ is the premier source of handmade silk velvet pumpkins and other artful objects…and they are beautiful. I’ll show you how to display and arrange these pumpkins for easy fall decorating. In addition to that, there’s a giveaway for a $200 credit to LoveFeast Shop AND a coupon code for a 15% discount on any order placed from now until September 1, 2017.

If that wasn’t enough…there’s also a blog hop so if you are visiting here from Shabbyfufu, welcome to On Sutton Place. More on the blog hop later.

I’ve had an ongoing love affair with velvet pumpkins for a few years. I think they have a special charm and the best thing is that they can be displayed for months without rotting! I had a few velvet pumpkins that I had collected, but sadly they were destroyed by water in my basement. When the opportunity to work with LoveFeast Shop was offered, I have to admit I was thrilled.

My best tip for using velvet pumpkins in your fall decorating is to use some sort of natural element as a base. By doing that, the pumpkins come to life and are easy to arrange. Any kind of real or preserved greenery will work, but I chose seeded eucalyptus. It dries beautifully and is the prettiest shade of green. To begin, I added eucalyptus to my large ironstone bowl and then nestled in some pumpkins. 

Tip: Seeded eucalyptus can be hard to find. It’s worth the hunt though! I had to special order mine from the floral department of a local grocery store. Click HERE to see seeded eucalyptus online.

After that, I cleaned my silver urns and added eucalyptus to them as well. I just love the two twin, neutral pumpkins set on top of the urns.

One other lovely feature of the pumpkins is their stems. They are from real pumpkins and gourds…and in addition to adding interest, they add another natural element.

The Hot Skwash™ pumpkins come in many different sizes…and the tiniest ones have the biggest personalities. I think they are just the cutest!

    Thanks for the inspiration of decorating with natural foliage mixed with the fabric pumpkins! Can’t wait to get mine out of storage! Keep on inspiring us!

    These are beautiful Ann! I love the way you combined them with natural elements! That’s the touch that YOU add that makes them extra special!

    I adore velvet pumpkins. Unfortunately, they haven’t caught on here in the UK, but I managed to pick up a gorgeous one from Jo-Ann’s when I was Stateside recently. Seeing yours, Ann, I wish I’d had more room in my suitcase!

  7. Myrna says

    Monday, August 28, 2017 at 11:18 pm

    I love the pumpkins and those gnarly stems are the final touch.

    Ann I just wanted to tell you I think your silver urns are the prettiest urns I’ve ever seen. I know you are grateful to have them and they will pass down as heirlooms in your family for many years to come.

  9. Shelly says

    Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 9:03 am

    Beautiful, Ann! Love the natural look that some of the pumpkins have and how you showcased them with the seeded eucalyptus

  10. Cheryl Thomas says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 9:52 pm

    I just adore all the vignettes of the velvet pumpkins. I bought my first one probably 5 years ago and love it.

  11. Doreen says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 7:44 pm

    Love these pumpkins and how natural they look,
    and how you displayed them.

  12. Cheryl says

    Love everything that you do and your velvet pumpkins are one of my favorites. They look great in the champagne buckets!

  13. Marlene Stephenson says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 2:13 pm

    I am in love with these beautiful pumpkins, and this giveaway i wonderful. I love the natural set or the purple.

  14. Norma Rolader says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 1:31 pm

    Oh my love the velvet pumpkins and with the silver “beautiful” God bless

  15. Mary says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 1:25 pm

    Love how you decorated with the pumpkins. So beautiful and fabulous!

  16. Ann Dunn says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 12:31 pm

    You mentioned the seeded eucalyptus, that it dries well. Are you putting it out fresh, and just allowing it to dry with time, or do you dry it first?

    Thanks for the info.

    • Ann Drake says

      Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 8:26 am

      Hi Ann…yes I put it out fresh and it will dry over time. I have not done it, but I know bloggers who keep their dried seeded eucalyptus and use it year after year!

  17. Joy says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 12:04 pm

    I love the look, but would think they would get so dusty.

  18. Dorothy Nopson says

    Always so classy and classic Ann and my favorite is the champagne bucket idea. Thanks for joining the tour!

    The velvet pumpkins are beautiful & I love the look! Autumn is my favorite season of the year.

    I am loving seeing all your Fall ideas, decor, Printables! I love your blog! I get excited every time I see a email from you in my inbox :)

  22. Sheila says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 10:04 am

    Will using the fresh eucalyptus stain the velvet pumpkins?

    • Ann Drake says

      Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 8:28 am

      Hi Sheila…the only time eucalyptus stains, to my knowledge, is when it gets wet. There is no moisture at all around the pumpkins so they will be perfectly safe. Thanks!

  23. Pamela says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 9:58 am

    Love your fall tips and your pumpkins are too cute!!!

  24. Renee says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 9:47 am

    I just love your Blog! You are so creative and generous for sharing all your wonderful Ideas with all of us!
    Please continue to Inspire all of us!

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 9:37 am

    Those are all beatiful pumpkins and I like how you displayed them. Too bad you lost your others but at least you found a nice way to get more. Love the eucalyptus accent.

  26. Linda says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 9:26 am

    They are very pretty but a bit overpriced in my opinion. Waaaay beyond my budget limitations.

  27. Jolene says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 9:19 am

    Thanks for the tip about using seeded eucalyptus as a base for decorating with the velvet pumpkins. The eucalyptus really do set off the color and texture of the velvet. I will be checking out your sources for seeded eucalyptus, as I have been searching for it without much luck. (I had to laugh about your comment of the velvet pumpkins being used for weeks and not rotting! As much as I love using pumpkins, gourds, and fruit in decor, the real stuff can go bad so quickly indoors.)

  28. Alice says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 8:35 am

    I can’t wait to start decorating for fall. Love the colored leaves, pumpkins, and mums. Best time of the year. Your display of the velvet is so enticing!

  29. Anne says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 8:04 am

    Hi Ann, Your silk velvet Hot Skwash pumpkin display is elegant. So beautiful. I own two that were gifted to me and I adore them. Thank you for the coupon at the love feast shop…I hope to add a few to my collection now that would be fun !! …Smiles…….Anne

    I just bought a tiny blue Hot Skwash pumpkin the other day at a neat shop in Kansas City! It has the neatest stem so was thrilled to see this. Hope I win as they are so expensive and such a luxury item.

  31. Gina says

    Friday, August 25, 2017 at 7:23 am

    Oh Ann, those pumpkins are gorgeous! How I love the rich colors. You’ve displayed them beautifully, too.

    Ann, I love your pumpkin arrangements in the silver urns – just gorgeous, esp with the eucalyptus. I’ve visited all of these blogs on this hop, they all drew me in!
