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.

Vintage Inspiration Friday #48 A Day Sale

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!
