Bellina's Bungalow

Locally, we have several bits of news coming this week.

Today I want to introduce a new shop to you,

 Bellina's Bungalow.

Located at 601 Pickwick at the corner of Cherry Street, 

Midtown, Springfield.

oh this vintage birdcage, so sweet!!

and just look at the detail on this dresser,

that could easily be used as a dining room buffet.

Clock face painted on a metal table top

so many pretty feminine things...

It's a small shop, but full of great antiques,

 fun junque, and vintage goods.

Drop by Wednesday thru Saturday

 for some wonderful inspiration and fun finds.

The Vintage Suitcase

If you live anywhere within driving distance to the Springfield, Missouri area, try to come Saturday to the Open House at the Humboldt Mansion. Robin Gilmore has opened up her gorgeous Carriage House and grounds for a seasonal sale which is being held Friday and Saturday, October 14-15.

I'll let the photos do the talking, but it's truly wonderful, full of inspiration and gorgeous finds.

See the two concrete candlesticks in the center of the photo below?

They came home with me, along with two wonderful vintage looking bird prints.

The Carriage House is rented as an event and wedding venue.

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

 Inspirational Home.

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
