Falling For Autumn

I've been resting these last few days after a little scare I had earlier in the week, (click here if you don't know about the fun I've been having) but I've been wanting to share this great magazine photo shoot with all of you since it came out a few weeks ago. My good friends from Leola's Vintage Home and Garden were featured in the Fall issue of Vintage Style Magazine, and it's just such a fun look at their annual Fall Harvest Party.

(You can click on any image to biggify

and see the yummy details)

Owners of Leola's: Jan, Kelli, Judy, and Linda

Judy, Linda and Jan are sisters and Kelli is Linda's daughter,

 and they are some of the most talented gals in the biz-nezz!

Check out Jan's Blog, Summer Sundays for more info and inspiration.

I always enjoy their Open Houses,

 but it's no secret that the Fall Open House is always my favorite!

 If you haven't yet picked up the magazine, you'll want to look for it. I found mine at Barnes and Noble. It's a wonderful issue, full of so many Fall ideas and inspiration. The Leola's Open House is scheduled for Sept. 5-8 in Ozark, Missouri. Check their Facebook page for the details and if you'd like to see what their Open House is like, just click HERE, and HERE for last year's fun. I'm planning on being there!!

Thank you all again for your love, prayers, well wishes and support. I'd love to personally email each of you with my love and gratitude, but right now that just feels a little overwhelming. Hope you know that I read each comment more than once and so appreciate each of you!

I'm trying to get back with the program, 

so I'll see you all tomorrow for

joining in on these weekly parties:

Inspire Me Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life

Spring Open House at Leola's Vintage Home and Garden

I always look forward to the seasonal Open Houses at Leola's Vintage Home and Garden in Ozark, Missouri. Spring, Fall, Christmas; you can be sure to find wonderful vintage items displayed with out of the box flair and panache. These gals are "pros" when it comes to "The Vignette", and I always come away with not only new goodies, but tons of fun ideas for decorating my own house.

 Take a peek!

Industrial Lighting

Last week when I was at the Fall Open House at Leola's Vintage Home and Garden in Ozark, MO. I was knocked out by these really hip and trendy lighting designs. There are a talented group of gals there, and these are some of the fun industrial pieces made from "Found Things". Thought you might like to see them...such great ideas for using vintage bits and pieces of "junk".

Don't you just want to find a barn full of junk and have a go at it?

 Thanks gals for the fun inspiration!

 (more great inspiration coming soon from the Open House)

Fall Open House eye candy...

You all know that this is my favorite time of the year, and what makes it even more fun are the great local Fall Open Houses. So just wanted to share some pics from last year's Leola's Vintage Home and Garden Fall Open House in Ozark, Missouri, and invite you to this year's Open House.

They will be closed this week until 

Thursday Evening September 6, at 6:00pm.

Then the doors open for some great fun!

They always are loaded with great vintage and hand crafted merchandise. Hope you can come, and if you can't, then I hope you enjoyed the inspiration!
