Welcome, Emily!

 
When I put away the Christmas decorations I did this vignette on the end table in the family room.

 

I bought this pretty plate at Home Goods a few years ago for only $5.00, some of the black paint on the border was missing but easily fixed with a marker pen. I love bargains like this!


I like to display this pretty plate during the winter months.
 

After my grandson's recent engagement to his "Emily" I decided to honor her in this vignette by replacing the bird with their picture:
 

 It was a little hard to get a good shot because of the reflection on the glass




The vase is made from cord. I found it at Michael's last year.

 Welcome to our family, sweet Emily!

 The beaded edge of the lamp shade compliments the vignette.

I hope you enjoyed my "Emilie" vignette

Valentine Decor

I'm getting some of my Valentine decorations done and will be linking to several parties. Thanks to all the ladies who host the fun parties so we can share!

The vignette above is in the living room.

This etched cloche displays red roses and two little birds made with music notes.

The sheet music is from an old hymnal, Love Divine, All Loves Excelling.

The white figurine was a gift from a friend a few years ago.

The black wire tray behind the cloche ties it all together.

The key is symbolic of "Key to my heart!"

The vignette below is in the family room:

I used the little girl bust next to the terrarium

I think she is so pretty!

A red rose and tiny flowers decorate the book display

I keep this wire basket on the table and change it with seasons. The red glass ornaments are displayed on the shredded red tinsel.

A favorite Valentine is displayed inside the terrarium with candles and two red lovebirds, can you see the tiny birds in front of the big candle?
Do you save your Valentines from years past? I can never throw them away!


The red valentine decor add a nice touch to the earth tones in the family room!




I add sparkly hearts in with flowers already displayed (below:

I always use this large heart ornament on the mirror on the hall tree in the foyer:
But I change the vignette each year on the tabletop of the hall tree. This is what I have this year:

I always like to use this plaque at the front door, and I also use on my blog banner:

I hold my breath each year when I hang this big glass heart, I'm so afraid it may fall on the marble top, or the ceramic tile on the floor!! Yikes!!

This year I made the tabletop a little more simple:

The top of the mirror is also decorated with red silk flowers:

A warm welcome into our home!

I'll have more Valentine Decor soon, please return!

Frenchy Vignette

I've been working on my Valentine vignettes, but didn't finish so wasn't going to join in the Tabletop Tuesday this time, then I remembered it's Marty's 100th post party, so I quickly took some pictures of a vignette I haven't shown yet. It isn't a Valentine vignette, I hope to have those next week! This pretty "Emilie" plate was found at Home Goods. The fleur de lis clock from Hobby Lobby, and the keys from T.J. Maxx.

Congratulations, Marty on the 100th anniversary!

Thanks also, to Marty for hosting, click on her name for lots of inspiration!
