A Thanksgiving Breakfast Vignette



I apologize to my readers for being away from my blog for a couple of months. I have not been keeping that well for the last few months. Life has been quite chaotic, with trips to the  emergency room, doctor's visits, and running various tests. After waiting endlessly for various test reports, here I am today and thankful that I am doing so much better than I was few months back.
I have missed writing my blog and visiting all the other creative bloggers! I have a lot of catching up to do in the next weeks....
The holidays are just round the corner, and today I thought I will share my Thanksgiving vignette with my readers.

I love playing with different vignettes and organizing my kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of our home! These Ikea Fintorp wall organizer hooks and wire storage basket is a wonderful way to keep your kitchen neat and in working order.


The wire basket holding the oranges not only looks pretty but also serves as a reminder for my children to remember to eat fruits everyday.

I like the look of this rustic candle holder inside the blue mason jar

The red and white striped bowls holding the grapes are from Sur La Table and remind me so much of French grain sack.  


A wire rooster makes a wonderful holder for eggs.


In keeping with the Thanksgiving theme for my breakfast tray, these ornamental corns make a nice addition to the vignette...

as well as the white baby boo pumpkin nestled among the plates and berries. It goes well with my Thanksgiving breakfast tray.


Thanks for stopping by today to take a peek at my Thanksgiving breakfast tray. It is always a pleasure to have you visit me. 
Have a lovely week!

When Pumpkins Inspire!

Pin It

I don't know what it is about pumpkins that inspires us to decorate our homes with them! 
Over the weekend, while walking around Pumpkinville surrounded with pumpkins and gourds, inspiration hits, and suddenly you have all the makings of a tabletop vignette. Does this ever happen to you?


Well, that's exactly what happened to me while strolling through a pumpkin patch :)


The color and texture of gourds and pumpkins make them ideal for autumnal vignettes:



Sitting atop these shiny mercury glass candle holders they make a pretty visual statement:


I like the contrast between the shiny mercury glass and the rough texture of the gourds

A cascade of gourds and pumpkins adorns my foyer table

The mirror in my entryway is accented with a pine cone wreath intermixed with sprigs of green hydrangea

A closer view of the mini pine cone wreath

The blue Dollar Store bottle tied in raffia with a fleur-de-lis tag makes a pretty holder for lavender 


A row of cute baby boo pumpkins nestled in little clay pots painted with chalkboard paint

I embellished the pots with the enameled numerical tags found in the scrap booking section of Joann


I love adding different elements and see it all coming together to create a vignette.

Books covered in fleur-de-lis burlap make excellent risers

The shine on the votive contrasts nicely with the chalkboard painted pot

Little pumpkins tied in grosgrain ribbons remind me of  brown paper gift packages "tied up with strings''.......these are a few of my favorite things :) 

The fleur-de-lis burlap is from Walmart for $3.97 a yard. One yard is sufficient to cover three to four books.

The glass vase holds maple branches from my yard and showcases the beautiful colors of autumn in all its glory



Fall is a wonderful time of the year to create beautiful vignettes in your home

And I am looking forward to a wonderful holiday season!

Thank you so much for stopping by! It is always a pleasure to hear from you and read your sweet notes.

An Autumn Vignette

Pin It


Hello, everybody! It's the beginning of another autumn week, and I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I have been  busy "falliying" my home lately :)


 An autumnal home in color sketch.

I don't know about you, but for me the holiday season starts from October.

For the next three months, I can deck the halls and rooms in holiday colors and have so much fun with it!

From Halloween till Christmas, it's a celebration of seasons in my home:

It's the small touches that makes a house a home:

Sprigs of hydrangeas and twigs of burning bush and maple leaves from my yard grace a willow basket, a recent acquisition from Walmart.

I love creating vignettes in trays.

They are so versatile and make playing with different home accents so much fun:

A cute pumpkin from Home Goods adds a lovely accent

The ornamental fretwork on the pumpkin reminds me so much of cut-work lace.

It pairs beautifully with the orange ceramic pumpkin and acorn squash from my garden.

  
The trio of beige candles bring height and color to the vignette.


The candles are adorned with maple leaf tags from Jo-Ann craft store and tied in jute twines.

I added some sprigs of burning bush for added fall color and embellishments to the candles.

 I love how I can bend the wire stems to create little curlicue :)

Candle magic at night

I love adding greenery to any vignette for color, contrast, and texture.

An array of pillows in autumnal hues bring instant color to any room decor


An antique stoneware crock pot overflowing with fern graces a corner of my great room.


Thanks for visiting me today and for all your sweet thoughts and comments. I hope you enjoyed catching glimpses of autumn in my great room:

And my heartfelt appreciation to these beautiful ladies for showcasing my Autumnal Tablescape and Fall Luminaries in their wonderful linky parties. I absolutely love joining their parties each week for a multitude of inspiring projects and share my own projects :) Stop by, if you get a chance, and I promise you won't be disappointed
