Loving Gordon?? Check out his new friend Boomer and also Bonita… they make great Halloween buddies!

Watch a video with tips and tricks for face placement on Gordon here!

Every fall my mantle is crowded with knitted pumpkins of all shapes, sizes & colors. I’d like to think that Gordon is getting his “gourd on” as the keeper of those pumpkins. He watches over them to make sure they don’t roll away or get snatched. And you better believe that while dutifully fulfilling his watch post he gets mighty chilly and needs every inch of that cozy sweater! If you’ve got pumpkins in your house this fall, you definitely need a Gordon to protect them!
