Starburst Pumpkin Sconces: Three perfectly round pumpkins are first carved with a beautifully rendered starburst pattern that is reminiscent of a Tiffany-style lamp. Then they are fitted with small scallop-edged tops and displayed on small bracket shelves. The elegant lights radiate softly, casting flickering shadows up the wall. Here’s how to turn pumpkins into glowing light fixtures. Instructions from Martha Stewart.

Once you have cleaned out your pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern, save the seeds and try roasting them for a tasty treat. Here’s how to make them . . .
Quick Method:
Remove fiber from seeds; wash and dry them thoroughly. Place in shallow pan (you can drizzle a little salad oil over the seeds if you wish) and salt them well. Roast in hot oven until done, stirring seeds occasionally.
Traditional Method:
Remove fiber from seeds; cover with salted water; bring to a boil, simmer 2 hours. Drain and dry thoroughly on paper. Then spread seeds in shallow pan; coat with oil and some salt; toast in 250-degree oven until golden brown. Stir seeds occasionally.

These two Halloween witch designs are from vintage embroidery transfer patterns. Both are flying on brooms, one is very similar to the old TV show “Bewitched” while the other is a profile of a less attractive witch.
These designs have been digitally cleaned as best I could.
