Hi Everyone, it's that time of the week again,
time to link up anything "vintage or vintage inspired"
and all your Fall Decorating!
Because of that, I wanted to share with you a couple of images of some paper collage that a friend of mine from Leola's creates. Kristi has been making these themed paper collages behind desilvered antique mirrors for several years. I thought I might have more photos of her work, but these two from the Fall Open House at Leola's in Ozark, Missouri, are my only photos.

Aren't they great?
I love her use of type, images, and vintage ephemera.
Hopefully, you can see these images a little larger if you click on them.
And speaking of inspiration,
wow, there's a lot of it our here this time of year.
Check out Marilyn from Shabby Redo for You
who gave new life to a sad little table with her own decoupage look.
Kathy from a Tiny Cottage On Grand
unleashes her inner vintage Jack-O-Lantern!
Bella from Bella's Rose Cottage shares her
wonderful Fall-O-Ween Mantle
And Elizabeth from Pinecones and Acorns
inspired us with a friend's painted table creation.
This is free-hand folks!
Last but not least is Tee from Browne Eyed Belle
She's wowing me with this fabulous Dining Room.
Go check out the "black" walls!
Joining in with these party gals:
OK, girls and boys, let's link up the fun!
Please have a link within your post,
and I'd love for you to grab my Fall Button
Hope you have a great weekend!

Hi Debra,
as you are a lover of paper collage, hope you'll like my mixed media canvases. I used vintage and antique papers (some of them are family papers with the names of my ancestors clearly visible) to make a collage on canvas and then painted on them...
Thanks for hosting, the collaged tables are wonderful!
