Not only are gourds fall-like and very festive, but it's just fun to say, "Gourds". It's also easy to toss some gourds in a pretty bowl and call it macaroni until after Thanksgiving. (This works well with Christmas balls, too, which I'll be doing when it gets closer to December. It's the lazy decorator's key to holiday cheer.)

Gourds
On our trip to the pumpkin patch, I picked up a variety of gourds for a centerpiece for our dining room table.

I love gourds! I have some in a tall, cylinder vase in our kitchen window. The only thing is the ones that look like they have major acne and warts are kind of weird, but I still always buy them anyway. (Your presentation looks mahvelous, BTW.)
Thanks! Oooh, I love those cylinder vases - that's a good idea! I may have to steal that idea for my Christmas balls. :-)
Yeah, the wart gourds kind of creep me out, too, yet they are strangely fascinating, so I always throw some in also.
