"Hooked" on Wool Pillows for Fall

Last weekend my sister and our friend, Susan, made our annual visit to the Ozark Crafts Festival held every first full weekend in October. We always look forward to it, and we've said the only way not to go is if you had a legitimate excuse like being in the hospital or worse. We go, no matter what, and this year the "no matter what" about froze us to death. It was rainy and drizzly and only in the low 40's but nothing would keep us from our kettle corn, sugared nuts, corndogs and aisles and aisles of crafts, antiques, and loads of Fabulous Fall Fun. That's the phrase my sister coined to describe all the junk we love to do this time of year.

I found some more of the costly bittersweet, and a few other goodies, but my fave purchase of the day was this wonderful hooked wool pillow of a pumpkin with a crazy vine, and a black crow. Just the perfect addition to the Sun Porch Fall decor.




This was my purchase last year;
An adorable curly sheep on a great tan plaid.




And this from the year before.
I think I've started something here.


Here are a few other fun Hooked Wool Fall Pillows that you'll find on my newly created Pinterest board, "Happy Hooking".  Hope you'll come by my Pinterest Page and follow along. If you pin any of these next three images please go to the original source on my Pinterest Board. thanks bunches!






Hope you're having a wonderful week,
enjoying all the goodness of Fall.

Vintage Inspiration #109 Fall Fun and Decor

Hi Everyone, Welcome to Vintage Inspiration!

It's no secret that I love to decorate seasonally. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter each have their specific elements that I try to incorporate in my home decor. I love to take a vintage theme, then add in the colors and textures of whatever the current season might be. Here are just a few of the great Fall themed links from last week.

Kelly at The Lillypad Cottage created this amazing and HUGE chalkboard complete with her fabulous October chalkboard art. Kelly is a new blogger and you'll want to go meet her and visit her wonderful home, decorated for Fall.




When I saw these adorable Pumpkins with Attitude from Betsy at My Salvaged Treasures, I immediately fell in love with these little guys. They reminded me of the Hardware Pumpkins we've seen in the past, but these are a whole other level of sophistication. You'll want to see how she made them.


Laura from Decor to Adore gets her Fall on in
LOVE that chair!!


Alaina from Arbor House Lane asks us, Do We "Boo"?, in her wonderful home at Halloween. This girl knows how to decorate spooky and creepy with great vintage style!



And using this wonderful set of Johnson Brother's China,
 Betty reminisces about  Autumn Tea Time at My Cozy Corner
