"Vignettes"- (thought I'd get into the blog lingo, yes, I'm such a joiner-). Vignettes are "groupings" of "still life that creates a mood and makes your room look polished and pulled together" according to HGTV. See their "8 Tips for Making Beautiful Vignettes" here for more inspiration.
Anyway, here's a taste of what's been going on around my house recently:

 Don't mind the blue pjs on the floor in the background...  |
I know that brown thing looks like a cupcake, but it's not, I promise! I had an ugly Christmas swag from about 1999 or something, so I decided to pull off all the components and repurpose them throughout my house. This is some type of cone-thingy complete with faux snow/ice! I mean, can you get any better??? |
I found all 3 of these apothecary-type jars at one of my regular, yes, you guessed it, Goodwill outings. (Did I even need to say that?) Anyway, the biggest one was brand new in it's original box, and came with the "winter fill". The other two I filled with gold jingle bells & green filler crystals. You can still my leopard mirror that is not in the Christmas spirit. See my after treatment here.
I already had this container/planter, who knows were it came from, but I filled it with cinnamon scented pine cones & some more of that sacrificed swag. (By the way, the smell of the cinnamon pine cones so does not last).
Christmas tree shoved into a creamer, gotta love that!
Sorry the picture is a little blurry, but I found both this tarnished brass tray & container (and I love the tarnished look they have) at Goodwill (did you guess?). The Nativity Scene is an ornament, & probably as old as me. I just decided this year to use it off the tree rather than on the tree.

| Dining Room buffet |
And to finish this post, my Nativity. I usually have set it up over on my buffet, but this year I decided to use this tray and scattered some mossy stuff around. I think it gives it a more "authentic" look. Made any Christmas "vignettes" around your casa?
