Yes!!!!! But the funny thing is I don't much care for the color orange in my quilting or decorating but I love the pumpkins. It isn't even a childhood thing. I don't remember doing anything special. This just happened over time.

I have clear plastic storage bins that stack in my closet. There are 6 big bins and a couple small ones. I didn't even put out my Indian corn with I have a bin full of that.

I love my wall. I am an antique collector and I collect alot of antique collectibles so I love to display a lot of my stuff there through the year.. This will give way to my Reindeer collection for Christmas after Thanksgiving is over. I collect 1950s red flocked reindeer and other reindeer. I love to see them in the boxes.

All i can say is WOW!! Beautiful display...I too am curious, where do you store them all in the off season. That's my problem w/my holiday collections. I love the contrast with the pretty blue wall behind. ~deb~

For several years. My mom is a collector of a lot of things too so she is always on the lookout for more to add to my collection. If I looked I wouldn't be surprised if about half or so of it has been added by her over time. Some are ones she has had and decided to downsize her pumpkins. She doesn't have the number I do but she does collect other things that the numbers are in the hundreds. She has about 300 or more Easter Eggs of all types.

I get them at Hobby Lobby or at thrift/junk shops like Salvation Army or Goodwill and we have a great junkshop called HouseWorks that is like a yard sale in a large warehouse. Yard sale prices there too.

We just pick them up whenever we see them. We bought a couple at Lowe's this year and I bought some at Walmart. I only get them at Hobby Lobby when they are on sale. They were 40% off when I bought this last bunch, Mom took my DGD Rachel(9) shopping earlier this fall and Rachel picked out a few for me.

Some of the wooden ones I made a few years ago. The geese both the black one and the bigger red one I made a few years ago too. I love the odd ones. There is one that is made out of dryer coil and painted orange.

I have 3 little tiny ones Mom made out of artist clay. they are all fun! Mom keeps asking me if I have enough yet and I keep saying nope!! LOL
