Vintage Inspiration # 97 Fiona and Twig

We've all been patiently waiting for these Farmhouse Photos from Anne at Fiona and Twig. Anne and her husband James moved into their turn-of-the-century farmhouse in Fredericksburg, Texas last year, and now we're finally getting to see their wonderfully decorated spaces. 

These are glimpses of her Living Room 
and her gorgeous Carol Hicks Bolton Sofa,
while her gallery wall of mirrors is still a work in progress.















Anne proves that her photography and stylist skills
also represent her beautiful take on vintage living.


If you don't know Anne,
 then you're missing a sweet, talented, and beautiful lady.
I can say that 'cause she just happens to be my dear friend.

See her wonderful blog and get to know her better at Fiona and Twig,
where she is having a Give Away going on right now.



and MORE great links from last week!

Out to Lunch

Last Friday I made a quick stop at Robin's Vintage Suitcase to get some photos to share of the new tearoom that has just opened last week. I didn't make it in time for lunch, but I'll be there soon; I know the food is wonderful, as it has a well know local caterer at the helm.




These are from the entry of the tearoom.










The Vintage Veranda is located here in Springfield, 
but if you're anywhere nearby you'll want to make a  day trip
to not only have lunch, but enjoy the shop.








A new jewelry line has just arrived at The Vintage Suitcase.
So many fun vintage inspired pieces.















A few more pics of the wonderful prints, antiques,
 and home accessories that Robin carries.


Little bits of Fall are showing up around the store.






Hope you'll make a date to lunch at Robin's and enjoy the shop!
Fall Open House dates will be announced soon.

And don't forget that Monday Marketplace
is up all week,
hope you'll drop by for some shopping fun!
just scroll down to the last post.
