I can't believe this was my first pumpkin carving -ever!! We had such an amazingly gorgeous day with golden leaves & so much fall sunshine; a perfect afternoon for picking out our pumpkin! I’m super excited to make this our new yearly tradition. And as for next year?! I’m dying to go to a pumpkin patch, complete with friends, yummy spiced drinks, and cider doughnuts! I hear they are amazing!
Did you notice that Martin is doing all the dirty work?! Haha, I was in charge of toasting up the pumpkin seeds, which were delicious. I used cinnamon, sugar and butter. Yum! I love creating fun traditions for us to enjoy as a couple; it keeps life fun & inspiring. And one day, I can’t wait to do it with our kids. What are some of your favourite fall traditions?!
Happy Friday & weekend, friends!

PS - I just did an interview with the lovely Kristina of "Something 2 Write About!" Be sure to pop by and say hi!!
It looks like your first pumpkin carving experience was a huge success! Kudos to you for letting Martin do all of the dirty work while you supervised- you're a girl after my own heart :) I can't wait to see an ongoing series of your fall shots- I'm particularly intrigued by the possibility of cider donuts; I've never heard of such a thing, but they sound glorious! Hope this weekend sends some sun your way, Veronika. Sorry we won't see you tomorrow!

A lovely fun tradition! You did a great job on the pumpkin and your decorations look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are too cute! I haven't carved a pumpkin in YEARS and this totally made me want to again.
ReplyDeletexo, alison*elle
never thought to sprinkle cinnamon & sugar on baked pumpkin seeds. a carved pumpkin would spoil by halloween, in this texas heat. painting them instead. smiles & joy in the delight of your new autumn traditions.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun! You guys are so adorable! xo

ReplyDeleteYour home is adorable! I love the subway tile backsplash in your kitchen.

ReplyDeleteOh wow, how have you never carved a pumpkin before?! My parents just got back from America and they bought me this cute pumpkin carving set with stencils and stuff - I'm so excited to try it out haha :) It's one of my favourite parts of halloween - that and making pumpkin soup!
ReplyDeleteim in love with your kitchen. now im inspired to clean mine, hahaha. oops. congrats on your first pumpkin carving! my first was a total fail. i don't know what happened, but the pumpkins grew mold within 2 nights :( maybe i'll try again this year :) hope you have an amazing weekend, darling!
ReplyDeletexx jamie
I have never carved a pumpkin before either so you're doing better than me! Living in New Zealand Halloween isn't a very big thing here and also, it happens during our Spring not our Autumn so there isn't really the same supply of pumpkins around. And come to think of it, our pumpkins here are all a light greenish kind of colour on the outside, not bright orange! Weird.
ReplyDeleteLooks so fun!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to grab a pumpkin and start cutting

You two are adorable and you carved pumpkin is wonderful! Wish I had a kitchen like yours...
ReplyDeletexoxo, Femke On the Button
You two are darling-we must get to pumpkin carving this weekend!
ReplyDeleteAw! You too are such a cute couple! And trading the scooping of the guts for the toasting of the seeds sounds like an awesome trade! Remind me to start that tradition when I get married. ;-D
ReplyDeleteOoh! Cinnamon sugar and butter topped pumkin seeds sounds delicious! I need to get my family to try that. We always just do salt and I never like them much... :-/
Yay pumpkin carving!! So cute! By the way, I'm very impressed with your indoor photography... I'm getting nervous with winter coming because it's so hard to get a nice indoor shot... yours are great!!

These pictures are so pretty and cute! It inspires me to carve a pumpkin as well. Unfortunately the beautiful fall weather is gone (and I even ordered beautiful birthday weather for myself today!), but the rain and grey sky make it so much more cozy inside.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend! xo

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fall evening well spent. I haven't properly carved a pumpkin in years, though I will cook with them and of course, toast seeds. I like the idea of doing a sweet version, I usually do salt.
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate you are to have such an evening!
ReplyDeleteyour first time carving pumpkins?! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's quite a messy job and I hate the gooey, slimey insides so I usually just carve the design haha. Love that shot of it on your mantle, great photography! Happy fall!

Aw I just LOVE these photos - you two look like you had a blast! I'm usually the one to do the seed roasting as well haha - they are just too addicting!

Waah, carving a pumpkin together sounds so much fun, this is a perfect tradition :) Moreno and I don't have such traditions but we always celebrate the day we started dating and the day we kissed for the first time :)
ReplyDeleteLife is a romantic poem
Aww, I just LOVE this post Veronika. You guys are seriously adorable and this made me so badly wish it was Autumn during Halloween here. I'm determined to carve my own pumpkin now!
ReplyDeletePS. Your kitchen looks so sleek and amazing!
It looks like you had so much fun! Your pumpkin turned out great! I still need to carve mine!

was that day on Sunday? i couldn't believe how the sun came out and our rainy greys hid far, far away!!! and Veronika, you did a smashing job for your 1st attempt, totally impressed on how you dug right in with exceptional accuracy. or Martin did, either way it's fab! pumpkin looks awesome....well they both do ; )
ReplyDeletehow absolutely sweet you all are huddling in the kitchen, not much mess either. when Sean & i go at it there's newspaper spread out all over and seeds are flying left and right. your immaculate display once again looks as though it was shot for a magazine and each shot is halloween season-filled with happy boosts!!! haven't heard of going sweet with the seed toasting before, gotta try that recipe out myself. ♥
pea ess: i'll def let you know when the next art show is, we'd love to have you two join us!!! and thanks for the wishes about Mylo, he's actually sitting right here next to me and looking rather intrigued with with Pumpkin. xoox
Oh my gosh. So cute! I love your hair in the first photo - so shiny and beautiful! Also, your finished product pumpkin is beyond adorbs.

Wait too cute! I think I'm going to attempt my pumpkin carving Thursday evening. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so adorable Veronika, and this was your first time? I would have never guessed! I love how you went with a classic face! I hope you had an amazing Tuesday!
