Isn't this Blue Flower Basket Necklace wonderful?
It could be yours...




The Marketplace is a link party for Etsy and Online Shop owners, where you can come link up to three of your individual items that are FOR SALE. Do you have a new shop or selling site? Please come and join in. You don't have to have a blog to participate. If you're listing here, I'd love for you to be a follower of Common Ground and to grab the button below for somewhere on your blog. It's a great way to let your readers know about this venue.



Come back throughout the week and check on new listings!

Spring Open House at Leola's Vintage Home and Garden

I always look forward to the seasonal Open Houses at Leola's Vintage Home and Garden in Ozark, Missouri. Spring, Fall, Christmas; you can be sure to find wonderful vintage items displayed with out of the box flair and panache. These gals are "pros" when it comes to "The Vignette", and I always come away with not only new goodies, but tons of fun ideas for decorating my own house.


 Take a peek!

Full of vintage garden fun and inspiration












Hard to see in the pic, but this lovely gown was worn to the Govenor's Ball
