Vintage Inspiration Friday #25: Where to find it



                                                            ... Inspiration, that is.

Nothing like a day at an Antique Show (Antique Festival of the Ozarks' first show) for some great shopping or to give you some fun ideas for displays! I'm always ready for a trip to a great store, Open House, or show, to get those creative juices flowing. And I guess they were, because I left the show Saturday and went directly to find another booth space! Who knew...?? I like to "shake things up" every once in a while, and I was definitely in the mood to do some shakin'! Not to mention just trying to clean out the garage. My house has become another storage unit, and it's time to take it back from "Hoarders".


















These next few photos are from
The Seed Box Antiques



Brian was here, but Meloney was in Houston at the Urban Market.





These are a few of Brian's great zinc top tables.






I forgot to ask what this was, but it was really cool.



And here's Sheila's space.
 She has the most wonderful old Victorian house in Billings, Missouri,
 that she and some very talented people host
Pheona's Vintage Market
once monthly sales.

(I'm seriously in love with this cabinet)



She's hiding here.
so cute, sweet, and talented!



And for some more inspiration from last week's party...

I've said this a bunch of times,
 but Theresa Cano has been my main inspiration since day 1 of blogging.
She's generous, kind, beautiful, creative and talented!
She was my first blog crush, and she added me to her blog roll.
Her slideshows are where I head with my first cup of coffee.
LOVE, love, love her!!
Thank You, Sweet T!

Hope you'll join in for

anything vintage or vintage inspired!



Hopefully, I'll have photos of my new space next time.
I'm moving in this weekend!
love,
Debra

    Oh, Debra, there is nothing like a wonderful antique show! Love this! I could shop for hours. My family always went every year to the Louisville Flea Market around New Years. When we got out of the car at like 6:45 AM (drove over 2 hrs to get there) we ran to the gate! Yes, I grew up in a crazy antiquing family. It was great! Beautiful things indeed.

    Can I shop with you? I'd be in this place for hours and have to rent a truck to haul it all home. Looking forward to seeing your new space.

    So much inspiration Debra!! I stopped by one of my favorite consignment shops this past week and purchased a really sweet miniature chair. I brought it back to work with me and one of my co-workers asked me if I have a hoarding problem. Should I be worried??? Thanks for the opportunity to join your fun party!

    Love,

    What a great antique show!!! Wish I was there. I'm going to a big show here in Columbus tomorrow, but it's nowhere near as nice as yours. Looks like there are lots of great items and ideas. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks so much Debra for sharing these lovely spaces in your neck of the woods. I wish I could be there to see them in person. They are all very inspirational indeed, especially for someone like me who just started with my own space recently. I need inspiration and words of wisdom. Happy weekend!
