Let's Shop! Monday Marketplace #29

Hey there, and Happy Monday!
If you're like me, having thoughts of Fall puts me in a creative mode. So much outside work and projects to do in the summer keep me from spending a full day in the studio. Cooler temps and ideas for the upcoming Holidays motivate me to get down to work. I'll share what I've been creating for Fall at the end of the post.
But first I want to share some of the wonderful natural products that my sweet friend Theresa from The Old White House and her family are making.

Organic Lavender reusable dryer Sheets



If you don't know Theresa, then run by her blog and check out what she and her family have been doing this summer. They've been working together to create a family business, centered around some fabulous natural home products; you'll be amazed!

And here are some other great items that were linked here last week:

from Fishtail Cottage






Handmade Vintage Christmas Ornaments
My Salvaged Treasures



And in the Sponsor Spotlight this week is Judy from 20 North Ora. I picked out two of her wonderful handmade pillows and since it will be Christmas before we know it, an adorable muffin tin wall hanging. If Judy's wonderful pillow creation below looks familiar, it's because she is one of the participants in the Vintage Inspiration Give Away going on HERE



Gorgeous Vintage Doily Pillow


Holly Jolly Christmas Pillow




Thanks so much, Judy!

And here are some of the Fall Pendant Necklaces 
that I just listed in the Etsy Shop.















Time to link up (3 items individually if possible) from your Etsy Shops and Online Boutiques. I'd love to have you spread the word about Monday Marketplace with the button on the sidebar. If you don't have a blog, we'd still love to have you join in. If you aren't a "linker", hope you'll be a "shopper". Since this link is live all week, please stop back by several times throughout the week to see the new items listed. Thanks so much for coming by! Now, let's have some fun shopping!

Window Box Centerpiece for Fall

Hello Everyone, 

I wanted to share what I've been doing in the Dining Room to bring in some Fall color. Since I started using this old window box as my centerpiece on the Dining Room Table late last Spring, I've been trying to keep it looking "natural". That can be hard to do since I use faux ivy and flowers in it, but right now I'm just enjoying those wonderful muted Fall colors, trying to keep it simple.


I did have to add in a few orange leaves just to get a little fix.


I don't know if you can tell, but this is a REALLY BIG window box. OK, how many of you more mature people out here remember Ed Sullivan saying "it's going to be a really big sheeeew"? I know, I'm more mature...but that's what this is..."a really big window box"!  So I have faux ivy, some styrofoam, leaf garland, and then because my pumpkins kept disappearing to the bottom, I grabbed some heavy brown paper grocery bags and wadded them up underneath...sheesh.


at least now my pumpkins aren't doing a disappearing act.



I've had these two inspiration images in my files forever.
I'm sorry, I don't have the original sources, 
but love their natural look in the old chippy window boxes.





and this great version from October Southern Living Magazine
Here's mine, no watering involved.






My little cement boy cherub (that I found at the flea for $15) has joined in on the Fall Festivities. I've seen reproductions of him lately, but this little man in the real deal. and super heavy... heavy like...do I really want him on the table, kinda heavy.


I'm working on the sitting area and Holiday Cupboard in the lower level today, so I'll be sharing that soon. My curiosity cabinet has been fun putting together this year. Ahhhhh... it's been wonderful here these last two days. sunny and in the 70's.
Fall's a comin'!
(just a little Missouri-speak for ya')


I'll be sharing at these parties this week:

Thrifty Finds at Southern Hospitality
Nifty Thrifty Tuesday at Coastal Charm
Table Top Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life
Tweak it Tuesday at Cozy Little House
Wow Us Wednesday at Savvy Southern Style
White Wednesday at Faded Charm
xoxo,
last night I had my first Starbucks Pumpkin Latte 
of the season,
yum!
