Christmas Vignettes

I love the idea of vignette decorating......its like a space within a space that can become whatever you want it or need it to be through out the year!

They are the easiest way to switch your home decor in and out with the changing of the seasons with minimal effort. 

I keep a closet stashed with all sorts of extra goodies to change in and out through the year....most of these picked up on thrifting excursions of course *wink wink

I have started to Deck the Halls of Maison De Merriman....

However, I'm far from done

I found this beauty on a recent trip to Southern Thrift....it is the ugliest, yet most adorably whimsical angel/fairy I have ever seen....

The vintage garlands I found inside of a burlap sack that I purchased at the GW outlet back in the spring...

Imagine how excited I was when I got home and found those!
They have been tucked away in that handy decor closet just waiting to shine :)

Amaryllis...not real of course....I've never tried my hand at growing a real one...

I should try that sometime...I found this one at the GW

 

My winter scene bone china tea set that I purchased last year took the place of fall china in on in the dining room hutch.

I can hardly wait to have tea!
