Shutting the cottage up for the year over Thanksgiving is no reason to forget about your little piece of rural paradise. Halloween’s just around the corner, and we’ll bet that these cottagey jack-o’-lanterns will put you right back in a summery mood.

Creative jack-o’-lantern cut-outs for cottagers
