It's Christmas at Inspirational Home

Debra Moore had her wonderful Christmas Open House at Inspirational Home last week, but I wanted to give it plenty of it's own applause, so I'm posting the first of two segments. This Wednesday on "White Wednesday" I will show off all the gorgeous white displays that can be found.







Debra's office window



Globe ornaments


















Santas are everywhere







This is an amazing cabinet, metal drawers
and original hardware in a wooden casement.



Olde World Santa






Vintage keys and clocks adorn a tree.







Amazing Italian door



My favorite, the Garden Room



Beautiful Paper-whites, and Amaryllis bulbs










Upstairs some Gingerbread fun!









Inspirational Home is located in Springfield, Missouri

Drop in for some Holiday Inspiration!
Blessings,

Kaleidoscope

The jewels of color that adorned the trees last week,
 now lay scattered on the ground,
...still beautiful.













Finding beauty in the change of seasons,

Vintage Black Friday, Flea Market Finds




With only two Vintage Black Fridays left,
I still have a lot of images to share.

These are a few that I grouped in my Living Room
resting on my antique embroidered velvet crazy quilt.
All these items were found at flea markets this last year.










Even this Bible and crucifix from the 1930's.




This lovely depiction of Jesus is the one exception.
 I found it at Inspirational Home here in Springfield.
Which reminds me, that next week I will be showcasing
Inspirational Home for their Christmas Open House.











My husband got me started with my fascination with daguerreotypes a few years ago. I don't have many but I love that they are remembrances carried with loved ones.














And since it's almost Thanksgiving I thought I'd add
a black and white image of a vintage post card.



 




Time is about to run out for Vintage Black Friday.
If you haven't joined in yet please head to
Gypsy Brocante and say Hello to Jill.





And look at the wonderful surprise I received
 from The Gypsy herself!

She put together an incredible assortment of
vintage goodies to make a wonderful art piece!

Can't wait to get started.
Thank you Jill, for your sweet gift!





Don't you just adore this black and white tissue paper?
It's just the beginning of the wonderful goodies.



Darling cabinet card, doilie, black buttons, lace...




vintage bingo card, dictionary pages, key, silver spoon handle...
Oh my goodness. It's all wonderful!

Have a wonderful Friday,
full of Vintage Fun!

White Wednesday at Leola's Vintage Home and Garden

As promised I have all the fabulous "whites" from Leola's Christmas Open House. There are lot's of photos for you to enjoy. Remember that you can click on them to enlarge, and they are certainly worth a closer look. The sight of these vintage bloomers all tied up in bows, sets the stage for all the fun!




This incredible counter and double cabinets take up a good portion of one wall. It is filled with the most amazing array of vintage Christmas goodies, from Santas to churches and everything in between.












Adorable "pinkish-white" feather tree



Great collection of vintage white pitchers









Vintage Santas galore!







Dressed for a vintage bedtime







Gorgeous one-of-a-kind necklaces










Basket full of Christmas kitsch




Love this white chandelier with tinsel garland




Even the moose are white










Wonderful white cabinet














If you missed Monday's post be sure and check it out
for more photos of Leola's great Open House.

I have another post planned for Pam's wonderful
T-shirts, jackets, hats and accessories.



See who else is over at Faded Charm
and say "Hello" to our wonderful Hostess, Kathleen!

Have a wonderful White Wednesday!
