While some are reluctant to say goodbye to summer, others welcome the arrival of autumn and celebrate the season. Adorning homes with autumnal décor is increasingly popular, with house design inspiration emerging from Instagram, Pinterest, and streaming services. Chrysanthemums, autumn wreaths, and fall foliage are popular rustic themes, but the most beloved decoration for your home this autumn, is still the classic Jack-o’-lantern.
The tradition of carving pumpkins is a fun activity for all ages and though nowadays it is a global phenomenon associated with autumn, and more specifically Halloween, the humble origins of this tradition stem from 18th century Ireland. Originally, gourd and root vegetables were carved for the Celtic holiday Samhain, but over the year’s pumpkins have become the stars and are now a creative, fun way to celebrate modern day Halloween.
Carved pumpkins of all shapes and sizes can be seen proudly displayed outside homes or on windowsills as the end of October draws near. Pumpkin carving designs can range from intricate, artistic depictions, to the more classic, Jack-o’-lantern face.
