I wanted to share a few photos from the back porch of a wonderful
shop called Lula Mae's in Fordland, Missouri,
that will soon be opening for a day sale each month.
Two of my crazy friends Kenda and Jan from Leola's in Ozark
I had so many other wonderful shots from inside
the store and cottage,
but I didn't have the settings right on my camera,
so many of them were fuzzy.
(live and learn)
I know this next one is super fuzzy,
but I just had to show you this chandelier!
yes, that's right, a French flower pot for a lampshade!
(a few of those wonderful clay pots came home with me)
And I want to mention again about the new feature
I'm starting up called
Design Challenge
Thanks so much everyone, for your great response
Hopefully, we'll have our first feature next week.
If you haven't read how this idea came about,
then just scroll down to the last post.
Hope you'll be a part of the fun!
Here are some wonderful links from last week.
Thanks so much for linking up to the party,
you all have the best inspiration around!!
Rosemary from Ozma of Odds has magic in her hands.
She creates the most beautiful things,
and you have to see her Rose-Mary rocking chair.
(and this is the view from the back)
Come visit Marcia at the Vintage French Hen
and tour her amazing Milk House Cottage
Karen, the Vintage Bag Lady
has just moved her girls into the Chicken Mansion,
come take a peek!
and chances are you've seen Laurie's fabulous frenchy pots
at Heaven's Walk,
but just in case, you have to go see for yourself.
just amazing!!
One more for good measure,
this amazing painting by Ricki from Art at Home.
Isn't it wonderful, I thought it was a photo at first!
Hope you can
join in for
Vintage Inspiration Friday

ReplyDeleteOh what a great place to shop ~ please promise you'll go every month and share with us that live too far away!
ReplyDeleteLoving your new idea ~ I know I could use lots of help!
Oh my goodness! I see sooo many things I like. Too bad this sweet shop is too far away for me visit. Actually, since I'm having to cull a lot of my collections, it's probably a GOOD thing it's too far away for me to visit. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Debra!
