    That is so cool. It looks like something I would have enjoyed trying to make. Of course these days I don't do nearly as much crafting as I used to.

    Der Kürbis sieht sehr originell aus. Er wäre etwas zum Nachmachen.

    I know that old books have been repurposed to create "new" things and this is a perfect example of not letting them go to a recycle bin or worse yet the trash.

    Nice that this was in a second-hand bookstore window, a book you'd want to pick up just to see how it was made. I wonder if the pages inside are cut to match the pumpkin shape too.

    I've often seen old books re-purposed, one I really liked was made to look like a hedgehog . . . but I like the pumpkin here, and even better that it was in a second hand bookshop :)

    All the best Jan
