Fall on the Sunporch


Just a few overdue pics from the sunporch for Fall...


Making use of the bittersweet and some deer antlers.











These next few are some of my fave pics from this season.
Just look at the face of complete innocence...








now wait a minute, girlie!










Here's the other one.









 I always have fun mixing and matching the quilts and pillows for a new look each year. 














 If you'd like to see what I did last year,
 then here are some pics from last year's porch.


 Being away from home for almost a week, I feel like I'm trying to play catch up. There are so many things I wanted to do this Fall, but taking care of my sweetie has been my top priority. We saw a specialist in St. Louis last week for his inner ear, vertigo, and hearing loss. This doctor told us more in 5 minutes than we had been given in months and months of doctors visits and therapy. Hubbs is on a medication regimen at the moment, but we have options for down the road...much more hope and confidence for recovery than we were having before. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the photos from this week on the sunporch. Ahhhh....my favorite season for decorating out here.

The Marketplace at Common Ground

 Welcome to 
The Marketplace at Common Ground

I'm a little late this morning as we have been in St. Louis for this last week. I always love our Fall trip to visit our kids, but this year also included a long awaited appointment for my husband with a specialist for his inner ear problems. The trees were amazing and the weather was just about perfect. We did lots of shopping, trying  some new restaurants, and hitting a few new vintage and decor shops in the area, which I'll share this week. So now it's time to link up some of your Etsy Shop and Online Boutique items. Here are a few fun links from last week.

Perfect for showcasing a Pumpkin,
 this wonderful Vintage Columbia Scale




Dress up your Autumn Kitchen,
 or as a hostess gift for Thanksgiving,
this great Flour Sack Kitchen Towel for Fall



Spell out the fun with these
Vintage Trick or Treat Letter Game Cards



for some Halloween crafting 
from Fleaing France


Wonderful colors of Autumn to wear
with this one-of-a-kind 
from HGK



Hope you'll join in on linking up any items that you have listed for sale from your boutique or Etsy shops. This is a link party for items that are for sale only. Feel free to link up to three items, if possible a direct link to each item. And remember this link party is live all week, so be sure and come back throughout the week and check back to see what has been added. I'd love you to be a follower of Common Ground, and I'll try to get a new button up sometime this week.  Be sure and share an invitation to your readers for the party also. Have fun shopping, and thanks so much for joining in.

big hugs, and now I need to unpack!
