Some Favorite Vignettes

Often I look back at ways I have decorated in the past, for ideas for the present.  While doing that today, I decided to do a post showcasing some of my favorite vignettes.  Usually, they come together for me fairly effortlessly, but sometimes I need a jog in memory about some of the items I have but haven't used in a while.  I have numerous bins of decorations in the basement, and sometimes I forget what I have.

I love using stacked cake stands, and that is what I did here. The two cupids were purchased years ago from Eckerd Drugs, I believe.  I use these lots.


Here is another cupid used on the old table in the sun room. Looks like I had a theme going.  


This a favorite too.  I loved using the old watches that belonged to my husband's father, and of course one of my sewing machine drawers.  I use those all the time.


This vignette sat on an ottoman in the office.


This is a vignette from last summer.  Love this tablecloth.  It will be back in use in the spring.

The vignette above was on the bookcase during the summer. That is one of my paintings in the center.


 I did a makeover of this box and enjoyed it for several months as a centerpiece.


We enjoyed the white items in the tray for a long time, and in fact I have brought it back to the coffee table for the winter.


This is one of the fall displays, in the breakfast nook.


This table top only had hints of Christmas décor.


 I love the way the lamp light looked on top of the pie safe.  It gave off such a cozy glow.


This is presently on the old door I have standing in the dining room.  I love decorating it for different occasions, or different days, or whenever the notion strikes.

Do you like to go back and revisit previous photos for ideas?

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
