It's Officially Fall here in the Ozarks...

Are you ready?

Holy Peter Pumpkin Eater, I'm officially on Fall Inspiration Overload!!

The last two days have been non-stop Fall Open Houses with more to come next weekend. We're certainly blessed to have so many great vintage shops in this area, and I've been trying to hit all of them. Thank goodness, this was a better week than last week, 'cause if I would have had to sit these out I would have been one unhappy camper. 




These photos are from Leola's Home and Garden Open House in Ozark, Missouri. Their Open House is going strong, so if you get a chance go by, I'm sure the shop looks different today than these photos Thursday evening. Stuff was flying out the door, and some of it flew out with me!

So, here are some pics, I have more coming tomorrow, so be sure and come back by to see the rest. Remember, you can click on the image and then click again to get a closer look at all the goodies. There are so many great ideas here. These gals are the cream of the crop!






















Yes, that's a skeleton hanging from the chandy!
















My fave of the evening, this little goat cart filled
with pumpkins and Fall goodies.
(no, this didn't come home with me)





























 (see that white tureen? Now THAT came home with me)
thanks Kenda!


























 (Love the wallpaper paste brushes hanging inside the frames)



 (and their signature umbrellas hanging from the ceiling)

If you want to see more from Leola's Fall Open Houses,
 just type in "Leola's" on the search box on the sidebar.

P.S. Don't forget to enter Becky's Give Away



More coming tomorrow...

xoxo,

  3. I am loving all of that fall color and warm goodness! It is still in the high 90's here and a bit hard to get into the autumn mood. That being said, all of these lovely images have made me long to bring some of that warm goodness into my own home. Thank you for a lovely tour!

  6. Those vintage suitcases ain't too shabby either! I don't think we've had anything like that around here. If we did, I imagine Judy would have caught wind of it.

  7. So much inspiration Debra! I would love to visit the Ozarks one day. I keep trying to get hubby to drive us up that way but he thinks we would run out of things to do. I know I would not!;)

  11. I can see where you get a lot of your great inspiration, Debra! I am really loving that tureen! I'm wondering...with all of these shops and the open houses...is this a place for a lot of "out of town " people to visit? My hubby and I love road trips and I see you posting so many wonderful places to see and go to!

    Yes, I think fall has arrived for you!!

    XO,

  12. There is just something about seeing bittersweet in a wooden bucket that just sings of autumn, Debra! I adore Sept and Oct that bring the cooler temps and clear blue skies! Blue jeans and boots, ponchos and scarves. Love it! Thanks for the pretty fall pics today!!!

  14. Wow, Debra! So many wonderful vignettes in Leola's shop! I love the tureen you took home, and I also like the tea leaf ironstone pieces she has. Hard to pick a favorite of all of them, but the stack of luggage behind the cart is a very nice visual. I see all the work behind creating such wonderful displays too! Have a restful day!
