The Vintage Suitcase

If you live anywhere within driving distance to the Springfield, Missouri area, try to come Saturday to the Open House at the Humboldt Mansion. Robin Gilmore has opened up her gorgeous Carriage House and grounds for a seasonal sale which is being held Friday and Saturday, October 14-15.

I'll let the photos do the talking, but it's truly wonderful, full of inspiration and gorgeous finds.





















See the two concrete candlesticks in the center of the photo below?
They came home with me, along with two wonderful vintage looking bird prints.















The Carriage House is rented as an event and wedding venue.

Hope you can make it, you'll love the experience!

    I could get lost in that place, for sure! And, probably break the bank. Ah, me! Thanks for the tour - so much "scope for the imagination!"
    JOY!

    It's probably a good thing I'm not near by, Debra! I see way too many things I like from these pictures!

    Now this is MY kind of shopping! wish I could go. I'd have to jump on a plane in order to make it though. I loved so many things you showed. I love all the natural elements for sale and of course some of that painted furniture looks wonderful too.
