Vintage Inspiration Friday #25: Where to find it



                                                            ... Inspiration, that is.

Nothing like a day at an Antique Show (Antique Festival of the Ozarks' first show) for some great shopping or to give you some fun ideas for displays! I'm always ready for a trip to a great store, Open House, or show, to get those creative juices flowing. And I guess they were, because I left the show Saturday and went directly to find another booth space! Who knew...?? I like to "shake things up" every once in a while, and I was definitely in the mood to do some shakin'! Not to mention just trying to clean out the garage. My house has become another storage unit, and it's time to take it back from "Hoarders".


















These next few photos are from



Brian was here, but Meloney was in Houston at the Urban Market.





These are a few of Brian's great zinc top tables.






I forgot to ask what this was, but it was really cool.



And here's Sheila's space.
 She has the most wonderful old Victorian house in Billings, Missouri,
 that she and some very talented people host
once monthly sales.

(I'm seriously in love with this cabinet)



She's hiding here.
so cute, sweet, and talented!



And for some more inspiration from last week's party...

I've said this a bunch of times,
 but Theresa Cano has been my main inspiration since day 1 of blogging.
She's generous, kind, beautiful, creative and talented!
She was my first blog crush, and she added me to her blog roll.
Her slideshows are where I head with my first cup of coffee.
LOVE, love, love her!!
Thank You, Sweet T!



Vintage Valentines


Button Heart


New sofa love

(I'm a quilt lover and Brenda has some amazing ones)


Hope you'll join in for
 Vintage Inspiration Friday
anything vintage or vintage inspired!



Hopefully, I'll have photos of my new space next time.
I'm moving in this weekend!
love,
Debra

  1. Oh, Debra, there is nothing like a wonderful antique show! Love this! I could shop for hours. My family always went every year to the Louisville Flea Market around New Years. When we got out of the car at like 6:45 AM (drove over 2 hrs to get there) we ran to the gate! Yes, I grew up in a crazy antiquing family. It was great! Beautiful things indeed.

  22. So much inspiration Debra!! I stopped by one of my favorite consignment shops this past week and purchased a really sweet miniature chair. I brought it back to work with me and one of my co-workers asked me if I have a hoarding problem. Should I be worried??? Thanks for the opportunity to join your fun party!

    Love,
    Susan and Bentley

    Wish I lived closer so I could visit your beautiful booth! Nothing like an antique show (or wonderful photographs of vignettes taken at one) to inspire.

    Your Friend,

  46. You are too funny... I for one am loving your Hoard! *winks* Hey, I wonder when they are gonna profile Beautiful Hoarders like us on that series anyway... I'm growing weary of the garbage/critter/spoiled food Hoarders, they NEED some beauty in the Hoarding profiling!!! *LOL*

  47. Best wishes on your new space...I can't wait to see what you come up with! I laugh whenever people mention their full basements, garages and sheds...maybe someone should host a party for that...hahaha...I have a feeling there are many of us in the same(overflowing)boat. I know I need to do some major purging. It's nice to know I'm not alone :)
    Take care, Laurel

  50. Be still my heart! I so would have rolled that baby buggy display right out of the store and I adore that little red barn with cardboard animal set, I would so love to luck on to something like that to decorate our farmhouse. Looks like you had a delicious day! Have a great weekend!
