Saturday Snippets -Pig Alert and Pumpkins
While I know most folks are just starting to think about Halloween, in true retail fashion Walmart is putting out Christmas items... This little inflatable pig is just too cute, love the tail! Maybe Santa needs a new porky (portly?) sidekick:@)
Have you noticed how expensive pumpkin has gotten? And I hear they're calling for another shortage too... I found out Dollar Tree has canned pumpkin! I'm sure it's selling out fast as $1 a can is a great price, and with the expiration date in 2018... I'm stocking up:@)
still warm here, but heading towards dallas to meet up w/ friends and eat burgers and fries. love the pig. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you buy the piggy? I'm sure Earl would like the company. Thanks for the heads up on the pumpkin at Dollar Tree. I'd better get some before it's gone. Also, did you make the pretty stained glass? It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYep, the Jack-O-Lantern was fun to make:@)
DeleteCute holiday pig! If we don't buy the holiday stuff when it hits the shelves then it's gone the next time. The drought in the growing areas will be felt longer than we can imagine. At least you are set for pumpkin recipes, yumm!
ReplyDeleteThe pig is too cute! I don't use pumpkin much (not a fan) but $1 a can is a great buy!!
ReplyDeleteHope you took that piggy home with you. Î'm a pumpkin pie maker but haven't made one yet this season.
ReplyDeleteLove the stain glass
ReplyDeleteIts a beautiful weekend here too. I love October! Hey... love that stained glass pumpkin, where did you find that? and now that Ive seen the cans of pumpkin... Im wanting some pumpkin pie! lol!
ReplyDeletehave a great day!

I heard about the pumpkin shortage too. No shortage here in the mountains as far as I know, but the pumpkins were ready to pick early this year according to the owner of a nearby farm stand. Maybe that had something to do with it. Now I'm going to covet the can of puree I have on my shelf from last year...

I think the pumpkin shortage is due to the short growing season in Illinois (the biggest pumpkin producer). Our farmers market had plenty of pumpkins on Saturday.

Hi Lynn, I'm definitely a piggy when it comes to pumpkin pie! I think I'll stock up on some canned pumpkin today because I cannot have Thanksgiving without a pie and a few pumpkin breads! Linda
ReplyDeleteLove love your stained glass pumpkin Lynn! And you must buy that pig, too cute!! There certainly doesn't seem to be a pumpkin shortage to me, I've seen more this year than ever before~ but you can't be $1 a can, thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Cute pig Lynn, I hope you brought one home to deck the halls! I've noticed the price creeping up the Libby's, the Dollar Tree canned pumpkin is a real bargain, thanks for the tip :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need that pig! Thanks for the Dollar Tree pumpkin tip! It certainly was a fabulous weekend of amazing weather. Wish it could last a big longer!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the piggies and the pumpkin. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you bought the pig! Thanks for the tip about the pumpkin puree! I may try making my own this year since nice-sized pie pumpkins were only a dollar at the farmers' market last week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the small cans of pumpkin anywhere! I guess I'll stock up on a few jumbo cans and make a triple batch of pumpkin bread :)
