Spring Vignette







Even though it is freezing outside right at this moment....
I have great confidence that Spring is on its way.
 We have jumped into Daylight Savings.
 So that means Spring WILL get here☺

In the mean time I am dragging out more of our Spring doodads.

Our dining room table has been freshened up with a new vignette.

I started with a black and cream table runner that I made last year.
Then on top of the runner goes a really old mirror that we found eons ago at a flea market.

Then I placed a cream colored pitcher {TJMax} filled with faux flowers, 
real ones will come later.




Next,
 I placed a sweet bluebird/cabbage teapot {flea market} that just epitomizes Spring
and makes me smile when I look at it.



Next,
 I placed a plate stand with a cream plate 
and a pretty light green plate in front.




 Still working on my sideboard.




Slowly working my way over into the kitchen.....
emphasis on the word slowly.




Don't forget to throw in a touch of whimsy.
You don't want your creation to look like anybody else just came in and decorated your house. 
If you like something....
 use it. 
If it makes you smile....
use it☺
That's where these cute little knick-knacks come in.....
pure whimsy and fun.




You are a uniquely created individual.
 Your home should reflect your individuality.
Looking  at homes on Pinterest and gorgeous decorating blogs is a good thing.
Get ideas and then translate them into your style and have fun doing it.

Hunt Country Vignettes





Living in Northern Virginia
we naturally tend to pick up Hunt Country collectibles and I  incorporate them in our vignettes.
In the vignette below I have a Spode hunt plate mixed with a hunt tin and a hunt jewelry box.
My hunting dog came from my Grandmother's collection that she picked up in her travels to Europe.
He is one of my favorites so I use him a lot.




There are many farms and ranches around here and beautiful horses.
Loads of places to go horseback riding!












The Red Fox Inn is one of our favorite places to take family when they are up visiting from Florida....
history and wonderful food is a winning combination!



Fall in Northern Virginia is breathtaking! 
This year is looking to be one of the best!





Prayers going out to those who are in Isaac's path.
Hope your week is awesome.
Blessings, Audrey

Soothing, Calming Vignette, But Never Boring!

Do you ever need to have some nice calming neutrals in your home?
No jarring colors to compete with your senses,
 just nice, soothing colors.....

not boring though!

There is absolutely no reason to do boring!


That is where layering various textures and heights comes in.


The first layer is a creamy bedspread. A bedspread for a tablecloth?
Yupp!
 Your little old ears did not deceive you. I said a bedspread.

 Next comes a brown and cream toile, folded as a runner.

 The ends are not sewn.
  [I have a problem with committing a favorite piece of fabric to just one use....
probably need counseling!
 Do any of you ever have the same issues? Maybe we could start a support group!]


Next comes a tray with a cream and white tiny gingham checked fabric.
I tied a length of ecru lace around three books, the older the better.
Try to use odd numbers in your groupings. 


I found this darling teapot. 


Most of my vignettes end up with some shells and clocks and creamware....

because I like them. You can use what you like...



There you go!
Soothing! Calming!
Never boring!
Life gets stressful. People can really be cruel.
It can be difficult to avoid the tension that marks our days. Try to carve out some space, physically, mentally, emotionally where it is safe....for you and your family. Sometimes, 24/7 connection with Facebook, Twitter, the phone and  other good and wonderful communication devices makes us vulnerable.
It is up to us to make our home a sanctuary for our family and ourselves!

Have a blessed week,
Audrey

Turquoise Vignette

I was in Big Lot's when I spotted this turquoise bottle.....

 they had several very pretty ones!




Brought it home with me!
Started pulling out some plates to put together a vignette.
I was thinking that I didn't really have that much to work with.



This candy tin was given to me a few years back.
 I saved it because it was too pretty to throw away!





 Then I really started having fun!
I know...doesn't take much to entertain me!


The tin has dividers....
so I put a shell with buttons...
and thread.....
and a sweet, tiny lace doily....
and another shell with a pin that I made....


and lace... 
and beads....
and a necklace....



and fabric....



Won't somebody stop me?

Blessings, Audrey
