Out and About for Inspirational Home Fall Open House

Fall has arrived at

 Inspirational Home

here in Springfield!

Last weekend's Open House was a magical event.

Friday evening we were met with this fantastic arbor on the grounds.

And inside, Halloween fun and autumn accessories

 were tucked in every nook and cranny.

Enjoy the tour!

If you live nearby or plan on visiting Southwest Missouri

be sure to stop by

 Inspirational Home.

Debra Moore's great shop is always a fun destination.

I'm linking with Kathleen for White Wednesday

Be sure and stop by for all the wonderful whites.

On a personal note

 I wanted to let you know my Father-in-Law passed away this last week

after a long term diagnosis of Alzheimer's.

We are sorry to see him pass, but find great comfort that he is in Heaven.

I will still be hosting Vintage Inspiration Friday,

but it may take me a few days to get back with everyone and comments.

Please come and join in Thursday evening until Sunday at 6:00 PM.

Love to you all, I will be having a week full of love and family,

 love to you all,

Debra

Leola's is located in Ozark, Missouri

right behind Lambert's on 17th Street.

20 miles north of Branson and 4 miles south of Springfield.

on Highway 65.

Vintage Inspiration Friday #3

My Fall decorating is more in the category of

"nature inspired"

 rather than out and out Halloween.

I have a few favorite black cat items and figurines,

but I really love the look of fall leaves, pumpkins,

 mums and bittersweet, that can take me through

the middle of November.

The pumpkins and mums are just starting

 to make it to the corner farm stands,

so I'm still looking for some inspiration for my front porch,

which right now is somewhere between

late Summer (impatiens)

and Fall. (a wreath with real bittersweet berries)

not a particularly good look....

So today I put together my

Fall Pumpkin Topiary

 in my entry hall.

At least you're not confused when you come inside.

Following images from google

if you know the source please let me know.

Once again, inside, I'm using faux pumpkins.

Due to a few unfortunate tumbling pumpkin incidents last year,

I've hot glued these babies for this season.

I just wish I had two of these monster concrete urns for my porch.

I'm wanting to do something a little more "traditional"
this year out front.

hmmmm...

I have an idea that just may work.

stay tuned...

Hope you join in on
Vintage Inspiration Friday
and let us know what's inspiring you this week.

Please be sure to link back to

this blog, Common Ground, within your post,

so others can join the party.

Hope you have a great weekend!

love,

Debra

"Falling" for some fun new pieces...

My jewelry gene has been activated this week!

I have some new elements I've been working with.

Some found vintage jewelry pieces

 that were waiting to take the spotlight.

Brass engraved tags,

some sparkle, old keys and charms,

added to pearls and mixed chains.

Come by and visit the Etsy Store or the Petite Boutique

for a better look.

Hope to see you tomorrow night for

 Vintage Inspiration Friday!

love,

Debra
