Fall Comes to the "Creek"

It's Here!
Fall has arrived at my Spring Creek booth space.

Now if you don't count the temperature outside,
or the fact that it still says August on the calendar,
you wouldn't know the difference.




I grabbed my man with the muscle
(that would be the two-wheel dolly)
and we headed to Ozark to make the transformation.



While we were there several other dealers were putting
their own touch of fall on the place.



OK, I've said it a million times before,
and I will a million times more
but...
I just LOVE FALL!



I have renewed energy
and that feeling of wanting to cozy up the nest takes over.



I love the earth colors and subtle tones,
but I also love a big blast of
 ORANGE!




Nature inspired dishes, furnishings, and accessories
are all scattered around the space.



As you can see, I don't take myself too serious,
I can't resist an owl.



Vintage Postcard Prints and Magazine Cover Prints
 are a staple in my space.







While I was setting up, a well-dressed retired couple came by.
The lady was really interested in my vintage window with the bird prints.
She bent down and examined it with a thoughtful, loving, and appreciative eye.

She got her husband's attention
 and of course he had to comment on the fact
that he could " make something just like that"
( how many of us have heard that remark before?)
... with some photographs of birds that he had.

She shook her head in dismay,
and informed him that it just wouldn't be the same.



I hope she comes back for it without the hubby.


And since I don't want a "nekkid" dress form,
I'll be having a few pieces of my jewelry there also.






The Tea Room and store look especially fun this time of year.
There are a lot of great dealers with a wonderful mix of merchandise.


Hope you can make it by.

I'm linking up with Kathleen for White Wednesday





and just a reminder about the first
Vintage Inspiration Friday

September 2!

  1. Oh, Debra, I love your booth!! I have one too and I'm chomping at the bit to have it decorated for fall... my favorite season too. I have a broken arm right now so my husband is going to help me get things ready "for show".
    I love your fabulous items... especially the mannequin. I'll be back to just look at all those goodies.
    And thanks for letting us know about Vintage Inspiration Friday. Can't wait!!
    Have a wonderful day.

  2. Hello Debra, your booth is looking so pretty for Autumn, my very favorite time of year too. I love the Nature inspired china and also the beautiful Majolica vase on the top shelf (I think that is Majolica isn't it?)... Happy beginning of Fall to you!... xoxo Julie Marie

  3. Debra, your booth is awesome! Had to laugh at your story of the lady shopper and her hubby. Sounds like us. I'd much rather shop alone. Those negative comments and the feeling I have to hurry along are just downers on the whole experience. LOL!

  4. Debra, your space looks wonderful...would definitely catch my eye and reel me in! You know, husbands are great and all, but best left home when antiquing. Here's to Autumn arriving early this year...Ha...I live in Florida. Guess I'll have to bring out the Fall and turn down the AC.
    Blessings,

  5. It all looks wonderful Debra! So many gorgeous things to make the nest all homey. The woman was right, it wouldn't be the same, and yes, I've heard that tooooo many times! I hope she comes back without him too! Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your beautiful space, Have a great day, Theresa

  7. Debra, your space looks perfectly autumn-like. I have been so hesitant to leave summer (probably because I was away for half of it and feel like I missed out) but now...there is a bit of coolness in the air today and I find myself looking forward to the changing of the seasons. And autumn here in the northeast is gorgeous!

    Like you, I love autumn and all the fresh, invigorating colors and vibes the season brings.

  10. I love all of your new fall colors. I do not think you need to worry about your bird window, I have a feeling it is going to sell soon, it is wonderful.
    It is starting to get colder here at night and the leaves will soon be turning colors. We were lucky to have a wonderful summer but I am looking forward to fall.

  12. Ah! It's GORGEOUS!!! I love it all!!! I hope she comes back without the hubby too... I bet she does...

    I'm going to make the weatherman stand out in the shade where it's 112 until he brings fall here.

    ;-D BEAUTIFUL!!!

  14. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. How fun to have this space to play with. You've done a great job with it all.
    But it's 105 here, hottest of the year so Fall is still a ways away in So Cal.
    Just can't quite do it yet.
    But I have loved enjoying yours!
    Thanks for sharing!

  15. That same hubby has been in my shop a thousand times! He really gets around! Ha! Yep, I love the shoulder season--as the travel industry calls it. I get the fuzzy cozys myself. Fun to visit, JQ

  18. Debra,
    I'm so with you, Love FALL! Love everything about it. The smell of the air when the wind blows & the leaves flutter by. It's crisp & your right. I feel a renewed energy. Especially after this summer with 30 + days over 100 degrees. I can't wait to wake up & be able to walk around the neighborhood, haven't done that since April. The booth looks great too. Love your style. About the comment from the old f(*t, I hate that when people say that. I want to say, 'if your so smart where's you booth & art work'? That's why women shop with women! Lisa

  19. I was scrolling through your photos and saw that window with the birds and remarked to my husband how very pretty that is - then I read about the lady and her husband who saw it. I laughed thinking "yep that's me and my hubby".
    I love the jewelry on your 'non-nekkid' dress form! I was thinking how pretty it would be to have some vintage lace draped over her shoulders.
    Now you have me wanting to rearrange in here and get my fall-stuff out. lol

  32. Hi Debra everything is just too pretty for words...love you taste. I also love that you don't have music on your blog. I'm usually listening to music if I want to and find blogs that play music just a little too much. Most times one has to scroll to the page bottom to turn the player off. I'd like to see someone blog about music and suggest 2 things. 1...just say no. 2...put the player on top so visitors can turn it off if they are not interested in listening. Sorry...if I am being rude, that is not my intent. The several I've encountered this afternoon have been loud and one you couldn't turn the player off...things just seem to be out of control.

    Blessings, Deborah and the new furry gang

  46. Hi Debra,
    I love how your booth looks. The suitcase really looks great with all the vingettes inside. I always get a lesson from you when it comes to fixing up my booth. I am now even more inspired to get my fall look together.

    I can relate to that comment by the husband.
    However, when one woman admires one of my pillows the other woman will say, "Oh, you can make that, it's so easy!" Yeah, right!!

    hugs
    Sissie

  48. Hi Debra,
    You won't believe this but my son and his wife live in Ozark, MO and I have been to the Tearoom many times and have bought things.....lunches are great too.

    You may even know my daughter-in-law as she grew up in Ozark. Her name is Lindsay Harmon and now Lindsay Ash. She teaches. Her parents are Dennis and Sharon Harmon. What a small world.
