It's hard to tell when we will be pulling our sweaters out for fall in Southern California. With this current heat wave, tank tops and shorts are de rigueur for now. At BeckwithRoad we've pulled some pictures from our archives. We need a good dose of fall inspiration to get us going.
Pumpkins:
To get the best pumpkins, they must be cut and pulled directly from the field. We realize not everyone is feeling that robust about jumping out in the fields at the crack of dawn as we did, but the farm stands will still probably yield the best selections. We always look for a green stem and preferably one that is longish and a little wonky. When you bring your pumpkins home, give them a good cleansing to rid them of dirt and pesticides. We shellac ours with glossy, clear spray paint from the craft store, but au natural is beautiful too. For this client, they wanted shiny pumpkins.
Be sure to bring something to protect your car from the dirt that resides on field pumpkins.
A huge basket full of earthy pumpkins, gourds, globes and grasses is always stunning!
A cluster of pumpkins in a variety of colors and types is more appealing to the eye. These pictures are from a Beckwith Road styling project.
