Vignettes


 
I am not real good at vignettes, but am trying to learn to do better.  When you have a friend like Brenda at cozylittlehouse.com who just touches things and they turn into a beautiful vignette, it's a little challenging.
 
But, I'm learning as I go.
 
This morning, I started out with the white plate, crown and two birds with crowns and started adding.  It became very apparent that I needed some color.
 
So, I added a vintage rose plate and some red Bakelite topped salt and pepper shakers.
 
It looks better to me.
 

 
I added the precious little framed quote that dear, sweet Becky of sweetcottagedreams.blogspot.com sent me in a package for Christmas.  It means so much to me - coming from her.
 
Thanks Becky!  I will always treasure this.
 
 
I then, took away the red and added this cute little blue set I have.  Does anyone know why I have two different pitchers? 
 
 
I changed the blues to a darker blue including the Flow Blue platter that was my Mom's, an old vintage lamp, spoon container, gravy bowl and antique silver pieces.
 
Sorry about the shadows!! We haven't had sun in several days and this is with curtains open and lights on.  But, I still get shadows.
 
 
Closer to February, I will add some of my Mom's Depression Glass and use it with my big pink heart wreath.
 
So, here we go, 2013!!
 
Happy New Year!
 
Enjoy!
 
Till next time, Judy

  3. Judy you are doing a great job with your vignettes. I think it just takes 'playing around' with things until they look pleasing to your eye! I think you have two pots since one is coffee and the other tea?? just guessing! I'm ready for some January vignettes now!
    hugs, Linda

  10. I thought each of your vignettes was lovely. I had to go back and study each pic several times. I am going to be keeping my eyes open for some "crown" things. Those little birds were adorable. And then the vignette with the bright colorful pitchers. That was very pretty too. The colorful pattern was very eyecatching. And then your blue and white vignette! I collect delft blue items and you displayed them beautifully. Your pink collection was very pretty. For some reason for the past few weeks all things pink have really been grabbing me. I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your pretty pink collectibles in the near future. Your post today has really inspired me to try my hand at doing some vignettes for my post. Yours were so fun to see. Thanks for sharing them with us.
    Best wishes and Happy New Year!

  16. Great job! You have the eye of an artist. I love those 2 birds with the crowns. I've never seen them before. Do you have 2 pitchers so there is one for tea and one for coffee? Or as the English would do...one for tea and one for cream? It all looks great. Thanks for sharing all the ideas you have.

    Cheery wave!

  17. Looks like you are doing a great job creating them. I really like the red with the white. I need to make some changes around my home to give it a fresh look.

  18. Hi Judy - I love your vignettes. I don't have a natural talent at it but it looks like you do (or Brenda is rubbing off on you!)

    Is the extra jug for hot chocolate? J

  19. Each one is beautiful. The two pitchers...looks like one might be a creamer ??
