• Vandolls Folk Art by Rachel Garrison

This multifaceted orange pumpkin has a personality for every mood. One side has a somewhat more mischievous smirk, and the other has a wide-eyed, gap-toothed grin that seems ready for an enjoyable night of trick-or-treating. Both have triangle noses and a little eyebrow lift. It’s like the pumpkin can’t decide if it’s the life of the Halloween party or the one plotting harmless pranks behind the candy bowl. Either way, it’s ready to light up the night.

Crafted from paper mache, this 6.5-inch lantern by American folk artist Rachel Garrison has all the quirky, vintage flair her pieces are known for. It’s that kind of decoration that feels like it just rolled off the porch of an old Victorian house, carrying a bit of spooky history along with it. The carved details give the pumpkin a well-worn look, with deep grooves along the ridges and a perfectly imperfect finish that only adds to its charm.

The real fun comes when you decide which side to show off. Feeling spooked? Let the worried, button-nosed face take the spotlight. In a more mischievous mood? Spin it around to reveal the sly, side-eyed grin. Better yet, place it where guests can get a peek at both expressions, adding a bit of surprise to your setup. Drop in a battery-operated tea light, and the pumpkin’s eyes and mouth glow through the velum inserts, creating an eerie, flickering effect that’s just right for a dark Halloween night.

Whether it’s anchoring a display of vintage Halloween decor, acting as a candy bucket for the little ones, or simply holding a place of honor on your mantel, this two-faced pumpkin is ready to be the life (or afterlife) of your spooky setup.
