Be Inspired #163:

Hi Everyone and Welcome to
 Be Inspired!

The proverbial apple doesn't fall far from the tree in the case of my daughters, they both love vintage. In the case of my older daughter, who has a degree in computer illustration, she not only loves pillows, but has a fondness for black cats.


She doesn't know this yet, but this pillow may possibly disappear. 
I think this is a likeness of the Black Cat Fireworks image from years ago.


This was waiting for me when we arrived.


Her Dining Room table


Window sill in kitchen.



OK, on to the fun of last week's great links. 
Here are a few that I loved.
LOVE these wonderful Joss and Main Slipcovered Chairs
that Cindy from Dwellings recently purchased.





I featured this fabulous French Lantern
from Laura at Decor to Adore earlier this Spring.
They recently installed it, just gorgeous!!



Kimberly always has the wow factor when she decorates; indoors or out.
She shared her new home's Fall Urn at Serendipity Refined
Wonderful outdoor shoot of this vintage Fall Farmhouse Table
from Denise at Pink Postcard



Preserving  Leaves with wax paper
from Ann Marie at Musings of a Vintage Junkie



You'll love Lana's fabulous French Script Chair
at European Vintage.



Audrey from Timeless Treasures and her hubby created this amazing Dugout Wooden Trough. You'll want to see the start to finish of this great project.



So delicious...Pumpkin Funnel Cake
from Cara at Craft Dictator


Thanks everyone for coming by to share the inspiration!!
Hope you'll link up today for some great Fall Fun.

Have a fun day, and don't eat too much candy!!

PLEASE have a visible and individual link back 
to Common Ground within your post.

    Thank you for the party!
    That cat pillow is FANTASTIC...I think it's based on a much older design of a vintage cat lantern kids
    would carry on Halloween night. Here's a link to a picture of one http://www.pinterest.com/pin/50384089553997738/

    Happy Hallowe'en!!!

    Hi Debra,

    Love the French Farmhouse table shoot! You must be so proud of your daughters. I bet they were shadowing and modelling their mother while she was decorating the days away, when they were little girls! What fun!

    Happy Halloween!

    i secretly wish my daughter shared my love of vintage...she is into very modern things these days...actually, "modern" is vintage now that i think about it! but, she just doesn't like anything used or old... she thinks they are dirty. that black cat is super cool.
    happy halloween!
