Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

new idea for gourds

21 years ago

So many of you are so generous when it comes to sharing ideas, I thought you might like to see yet another use for a gourd. Check out item #5541512768 on Ebay. I think it's just too cute for words. I have absolutely no connection to the artist; in fact, I've bid on this item for myself. Can you imagine all the possibilites? I can envision entire "villages" with different size gourds and colors. Add some little trees, stones, etc., and you have something very unique.

That was so cute..I hope you get the winning bid!
I think a fairie village is a great idea. The little bucket looked like a thimble. What does it look like to you?

Just imagine if we did have gigantic gourds. It'd be so cool to plant your home to be.
