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

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

  1. Good morning Debra! I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law's death. Alzheimers's is a terrible disease.

    Another fun post of great shopping in Missouri! Maybe it's a good thing I don't get to go there more often...I would be broke!

    I love those white jack-o-lanterns!! Super cute!

  7. I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law. Hope your hubby is doing ok with that. It's so hard when a loved one passes away, even though you know you'll meet up again in heaven. I miss my dad terribly.

    The Heritage House looks like a wonderful place to shop and peruse. I wish I could get one (or two!) of everything!!

  8. Love, love all your decoration pics. They are "fall" inspiring!
    So sorry for your loss. As it is so sad to lose a loved one, remember that the saddness is ours, not the one who has passed. We know they are in a wonderful place beyond our dreams. We are promised this, for those who believe in God will have eternal life. I lost my mother-in-law in June and until that time, I never realized how much I loved her. I saw her pretty much everyday for 32 years. As it is hard to get over the loss, I also know she is happy and dancing in a place I want to be when it is my turn.

  9. Good Morning Debra, I am so sorry to hear about your father in law, you are so right to be comforted by the fact that he is now dancing with angels and at peace with our Lord.

    Your pics are beautiful as always and have me so inspired to create for fall!
    Take care, love, Theresa xoxo

  10. Dear Debra:
    I love all of your inspiration today. Living in south Florida, it's so hard to get in the fall spirit as it's still so warm. These photos really helped!

    Sorry to hear about your father-in-law's passing. I know that you're comforted in the knowledge that his mind is whole again as he lives in Heaven with our Father. Hoping that your days are filled with happy memories of your loved one.

    Blessings,
    Donna

  11. Debra, thank you so much for your kind words. You are right, I do get your vintage link party and that is why sometimes it is hard to think of a post. I do not want to just take pictures and join, I like to do it right and I was so glad that it just came together. I think about your party all week wondering what I can do to join, sadly sometimes I come up blank but I just LOVE to come and see all the other bloggers who joined. You and Fiona and Twig are usually my favs, she gets it too. Have a wonderful week, I have some thinking to do.

  13. When I had a store ladies would say they'd like to live there. Now I know what they meant. I'd like to live at Inspirational House - but not on dusting day. Thanks for the tour. And May the God of Comfort be with your family.

  28. I am sorry about your father-in-law. My father also has Alzheimers. It takes the entire family on quite a journey. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Debra.

    Your pictures are "eye-candy!"

  29. So glad to hear you father in law is celebrating in Heaven! It may be sad for us, but at least we know we'll see him again! "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus; sing and shout the victory"! I love the shop you shared with us! I shared one of my favorite "haunts" in my recent post, as well! I hope you'll check it out!

  32. Debra,

    Please accept my condolences on your father-in-laws fight with that horrid disease that robbed him of his life, long before passing.
    Thank you for sharing these inspiring vignettes. I adore all the autumn decor and would have had that mirror in my vehicle if I were there.

    Deborah
