Trick or Treat - Part 2

Happy Halloween everybody!

This week the SP team have welcomed a few new members to The Petal Shed. Taking a leaf from Dr. Frankenstein’s book we’ve created our very own creatures to keep us company during Halloween. Ok, so perhaps they’re not quite as creepy as Frankenstein’s monster but we think our creatively carved pumpkins are the perfect addition to the shed this week!

Why not use a carved pumpkin and a decorative scattering of confetti as a Halloween centrepiece?

It all started when Katie came in to work with a mysterious box and a great big “Do Not Open” label stuck on top… Intrigued, we had to wait till the end of the day before taking a peek inside.

After imagining all the gruesome things that could be dwelling inside we were pretty happy to see they were two not so scary pumpkins.

So, after a few giggles and quick cuppa we got to work!

... Wow! Look at the concentration on those faces.

With only two pumpkins and four eager pumpkin carvers Jess decided to go in search of something else to carve… and what did she find, a pretty gruesome looking potato of course!

“How do you even begin to carve a potato”…

We’re not too sure Jess, but the finished result was something to be proud of.

As a finishing touch we decorated our pumpkin and potato monsters with a sprinkling of Halloween inspired confetti like mysterious 'Black Tie' and bright 'Ginger Snap'. We also added a few gruesomely green 'Envy' hydrangea petals and vivid orange 'Clementine' rose petals! If you look carefully you can see our potato witch donning an 'Envy' petal on her hat!  

Now all that's left is to fight over who gets to take them home!

Love as always SP xx
