Vintage Inspiration #113 Christmas Inspiration from the Vintage Suitcase

Even though most of us haven't started decorating for Christmas, I know we're all looking for ideas and inspiration. I'm wanting to do something a little different this year, so I'm soaking up all the "Christmas" that our local Open Houses have to offer. I visited Robin's Vintage Suitcase yesterday and walked in to a Christmas wonderland. Whites and Brights, elegant, with a vintage flair. The store was a feast for the eyes.


Robin's Vintage Suitcase

Spiringfield, Missouri



















































And speaking of Inspiration
here are a few links from last week...


Pam from House of Hawthornes has an interesting thought on collecting these Napco Turkey salt and peppers, candleholders, and planters. It will make you laugh and feel guilty at the same time.



welcomes November with a wonderful  rustic
Farmhouse Autumn Tablescape



shared her Master Bedroom with her creative
 Rustic Vintage Simple Style.
(don't you just love that pillow?)



Geneva from My Hearts Song created a simple but heartfelt banner 
out of shipping tags with a perfect message.



and oh my, 
this chair from Simone of Fleaing France
no words needed...






...And stay tuned for tomorrow evening 
for a Give Away from Dee at French Bleu Vintage

with anything that's vintage or vintage inspired.
recipes, DIY, decor...
Please have a link back to Common Ground

 See you tomorrow evening for the Give Away!

  3. Oh. My. Goodness. I don't think I'd be able to leave there without cleaning out my bank account! So much Christmassy goodness in one place! My favourite is the wee silver bird with the gold crown. Perfection in such a tiny little feathered body. Wonderful features too Debra. Thanks much for hosting. I'll be back to look at Robin's Vintage Suitcase images again when I've got more time to go over them with a fine tooth comb. Lovely.
