painted gourds...

so my mother in law has more craftiness in her little pinky than i do at all. she makes such amazing things its always fun to see what she will make next. one of her more recent projects was for megan's wedding. lynda was making centerpieces for the tables out of gourds. i can't remember how many she made but there were at least 10 that she came up with the design, carved and then painted it. i was lucky to be able to take home 2 from the wedding. charlie picked out one and i picked out the other and believe me it was hard to choose they were all so stinkin' cute! i know its after halloween but yes my gourds are still on display at my house...and no i am not lazy and haven't gotten around to taking them down!

thanks lynda!

 this was my choice!
