Sweet September

A turn of the calender page,

a few days of rain from Isaac,

and I'm in Full Fall Mode.

I've been bringing out the Fall and it's found it's way to this old train case. A 3 dollar find from the flea, whose mirror was broken, so I mod podged a calendar art page on the inner lid.

 I'm feeling the more muted hues this year.

Silks and natural hydrangeas share the space

on my wicker trunk in the Entry.

A velvet pumpkin from last year;

I'm hoping to add a few more soon.

( a few of you have asked if I made this, but no, sorry to say

I saved my pennies for it. Love them, but they are a little pricey.)

Hope your first weekend of September is wonderful,

even if the sky is gray...

xoxo,

Vintage Inspiration #103 All Things Home

Hi Everyone, welcome to Vintage Inspiration!

Amy at All Things Home is a true vintage girl at heart. She recently found this wonderful rusty antique cabinet at her uncle's house and brought it home to live happily on her great hand made work table.

When I saw it, I told Amy that this amazing old Diamond Dye Cabinet and my old medicine cabinet, that I recently found...

needed to get married!

don't you think they'd make a fun couple?

Amy has a way with vignettes and display, 

and her worktable is a constant evolving base for her newest "old" find.

Here's Amy's mantel, 

just look at all the wonderful vintage elements working together

Shelves full of ironstone and whites

and breadboards...LOVE them

Here, Amy displays old Ironstone plates and platters 

on the dining room table. 

If you don't know Amy then, you'll want to check out her blog, All Things Home, and say Hello. You'll be refreshed with her wonderful  "farmhouse" style. Thanks Amy!!

Here's more inspiration from last week:

I love old watering cans and this one really gets your attention.

Time to party, Everyone! Link up your posts from this week that have a vintage vibe. Doesn't have to be old,   but can be "vintage inspired". And just a note to new bloggers and those who don't know how to do a link back within your post, just email me. So many of you don't have a link back to Common Ground. How do people know where to come and party?...just sayin'...and PLEASE check to see if you still have word verification, it's outdated and not needed and makes it a deterrent for comments. I can barely leave a comment, sometimes it takes me multiple tries. not fun!! 

Also, you may have noticed the "Fabulous Fall Fun" image on the sidebar. Since I'm such a Fall Nut, I'd love to have you come link up all your Fall Fun starting this weekend and during these next few months. Feel free to share posts from the past if you'd like, (DIY, Decor, projects, Fall recipes, tablescapes, etc.) Up to three each week. Let's all share the inspiration this Fall!!

xoxo,
