I have to admit, it was a wild summer. Way too much going on. Do you notice that you are busier in the summer? I hike, camp, garden, and travel in the warm season. This year, I also added volunteer work. Sometimes it was 20+ hours a week. I have not kept up with the website, but I am full steam ahead, getting ready for the holidays!
I managed to make some hypertufa pumpkins in early August before our Utah camping road trip. They cured for a month in my garage. I got them painted before I left (again) for our big camping trip of the year (to Utah). You see, I had to end the August trip early due to my Kachina having pancreatitis.
I use acrylic fluid art and then seal with craft varnish, making these perfect for indoor or outdoor decor. Here is a short Instagram reel showing my process.
Each one is vibrant and unique! I even purchased real pumpkin stems for the batch this year!
I sold one as a special order on Etsy – it went all the way back to Massachusetts!

But the rest are ready and available for adoption at Country Flair. Only $26! I also have some of the planters/candle holders that are left from last year down at my booth. It looks like fall has landed at Art from the Hartt.
Stop by and adopt one today while supplies last!
