Out and About...at Inspirational Home

Friday afternoon I ran by Inspirational Home to find a few more things for the give-away. I can always count on Debra having some wonderful "gifty" items. This is where I found the great turkey kitchen towel with the cake mix, and soap, among a few other items I picked up. She had totally re-arranged the store and I found this really fun Halloween display upstairs. It reminds me of something from the 1920's with it's vintage feel.




Here is her garden room, decked out
 for a Spooky Halloween.



The front room display is loaded with
great baskets
 and some fabulous furniture.



Love this chair!



Grrrr, Leopard! (sorry)



Wonderful topiaries




Amazing icons and Santos.













Back in the garden room you can find bulbs
 of all varieties for fall planting.







Great urns and garden elements



 Inspirational Home is located on South Lone Pine
in Springfield, Missouri.
Hope you enjoyed seeing what's new.

Have a great week!
Debra

3 Little Punkins

My sweet friend Cindy, at The Yapping Cat Studio, is an amazingly talented woman. She is one of the organizers of Paper Cowgirl, and so very creative and whimsical in her art. You can also read about her here. She is a constant inspiration to me. About two months ago she had some teeny tiny paintings of cherries, pears, nests, etc. on her blog and then casually mentioned maybe painting some pumpkins for fall. Well, 'nough said, cause I jumped on that idea and ordered these. I like to do a "goodie" bag up for my girls for every holiday, and these are for their fall gift. (Oh yea, one's for moi!)
So Friday when I checked the mail, here they were. Well, I tore into them in the car, cause I just couldn't wait, and here's what I found!



Oh, so very CUTE!



And a sweet note from my Friend with tootsie rolls
 and Lollia, whoops, forgot to show those!






Oh, And I can't forget to show the backs...love them!







ALMOST as cute as the fronts!




Thank you Cindy, Love ya!
