Getting In The Mood: For Fall

Hi all, hope your having a great week. It took me a little while, but I'm finally getting in the mood for Fall.
I went out yesterday and checked out my booth at Country Roads and straightened up a little and added a couple of new things. I purchased my jewelry case and put that in, now I just have to clean it up and put a couple of locks on it.
While I was supposed to be making money, I spent a little too. I got some great things for my bedroom for its Fall transformation. I love the way it turned out!

As you can see, I'm posting here again. I know I'm a pain but I'm not quite sure how I like Typepad yet, so until I figure it out I will be posting here and there.
Now on to the photos.
Have a wonderful night.

I got this awesome vintage ceiling tile and vintage basket from Hungary from this wonderful store in Old Towne Orange called "Eikon". If you live in the area and haven't been to this store, you have to check it out. The owner has the most beautiful things and a lot of his vintage stuff comes from Europe.

I love the color of this chippy ceiling tin, it's a chocolaty brown. It's perfect for Fall don't you think?

I also picked up this little scalloped mirror from "Country Roads". I have 3 of these vintage mirrors now. I think it would look gorgeous to have a collection of these grouped together on the wall.

Some vintage grain sack linen pillows from my home line. These are perfect mixed with your Fall decor!

  1. I love your new look. Those ceiling tins are a great price aren't they? I've been off this week with paperwork and then babysitting the little ones. I'm excited to get back to "the store" and see all the changes.

    Take care, Sue

  2. Hi Melinda.
    LOL, I know how that is, I make it I spend it :)

    I wish I could really get in the mood for fall but it is back in the triple digits here, ugh
    I am so sick of the heat it hurts.
    Give me just one crisp morning to show me it is fall

    Have fun decorating for fall.
