Chinoiserie Pumpkin Fest & Pirates


The Famous CHINOISERIE PUMPKIN of Darmariscotta Maine.

Spider Pumpkin on main street in Darmaiscotta Maine.
Backyard PUMPKIN PATCH.
This reminds me of my mother's kitchen. It was much nicer than this, infact gorgeous. The walls were this color, the cabinets much darker. and the counters black. Accessorized with copper. Very Cool !
Antique Pumpkin Pine floors. Often found in old farm houses.
A few years ago Bill Clark and Buzz Pinkham had a joint effort in growing their giant pumpkins which resulted in two of the top three largest pumpkins in the state of Maine. Clearly, the team effort paid off so they decided to enjoy a day on the ocean…in their pumpkins!Additional photo’s and a couple of video clips are on the next page. Take a peek and see these guys motor around Damariscotta….it was very cool!

I want to move to Damaiscotta but they sure do some nutty things. ( I like it )

I am thinking that they might have entirely too much time on their hands .

But, then again, that's a good thing.

I took this pic 18 years ago of my little ' Punkin' in a pumpkin patch . And she is a cute little pirate too ! : )
This was me , heading off to work last Halloween. I am always a Pirate for Halloween.
Halloween is my favorite holiday.

My goal this year is to get out of Boca Raton and get up to Maine -
A ONE WAY TICKET!!!

My mom is waiting anxiously....and I will be devastated if I miss the autumn leaves.

Wish me luck....the sale looks like it is going through.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
