Halloween Stem-ware

It's just not fair.

The big, beautiful orange gourd of the pumpkin gets all the glory.

It is what you notice first, what gets carved and decorated.

But what about the stem?  It is the pumpkin's life line, does all the work helping it grow,

and gets NO respect...

until now!

Introducing Halloween a few taSTEMakers that will stand out at the pumpkin patch...

Give your pumpkin a greeting!

This long, lean, straight stem was begging for a flag to wave in the October air.

Make your pumpkin GOURD-ous!

This perfectly curved stem was crying out for chamomile.

I hot glued them on and she was ready for her close-up.

Happy Halloween
