A Spring Vignette {Pottery Barn Candlesticks and Leah Hurricane}

I love the versatility of my ceramic Pottery Barn Candlesticks and Leah Hurricane.

I use these pieces in so many different ways.

This vignette went from an Easter theme to Spring.

This table is in the passageway to the kitchen area.

It was originally my sofa table many years ago. It is perfect for this narrow passageway.

You can see part of the kitchen through the doorway.

As you can see, I used the candlesticks as holders for the topiaries…

I placed reindeer moss at the base of the topiary for some color and texture.

I have used this Leah Hurricane from Pottery Barn in so many different ways…

…..for Easter, I had filled it with my White House Easter Egg Roll Commemorative Eggs.

Now, it holds a bird’s nest and the mother watching over her eggs…

I purchased this pretty Demijohn at the High Point Market..it was a great deal..

…..so I could not wait to place it somewhere in my house…and it landed here.

I love the color and texture it added to the vignette.

This Spring vignette contains many things that I already have with the exception of this new Demijohn

…..and two new books it sits on..The Welcoming House (by Jane Schwab and Cindy Smith)…

………. and Paris Flea Market Style (by Claudia Strasser). Both fabulous books!

The chalkboard print remains on the mirror…I love it there.

While at Trader Joe’s the other day, I spotted this pretty succulent arrangement…it quickly went in my cart!

Jane has featured non-blogger/readers’ home decor projects and crafts on her blog..Such a nice feature!

Have a beautiful day!!!

Spring Vignette

Well, the bunnies have chased away the birds ….

…..and the bunnies have playfully settled on the table.

DSC_8062

You may have noticed that I relocated my chalkboard print…

…..it was on the shelf above the stove…but I had to look up to enjoy it.

So I hung it “on” the mirror!

And if you want to know where the bunnies chased the birds off to….

…..they landed on the mantel.

Keeping the other bunnies company.

I added my “flower pot bunnies” that I have had forever…

….along with the bunny egg cups.

I have collected White House Easter Eggs…from past Easter Egg Rolls…

DSC_8051

Each year the design changes…and colors are varied…

DSC_8050

I love collecting “White House” memorabilia…I guess it is the “patriot” in me…

My dad instilled in us kids, the “love of country”….I am such a “flag waver”…

DSC_8052

And it is such a “wonderful world/country”….

DSC_8078

I am hooked on Jennifer’s (Dear Lillie) chalkboard prints…

My hubby was wondering what I was doing with the command hook stuck to the mirror…

…..looking at me with that “I have two heads look”….

DSC_8058

But after it was hung…he and I loved it!…I pass this table many times a day….

…..and it makes me smile!

The artful writing is just amazing….

DSC_8053

I bought another bird’s nest (can’t have too many)..and another pair of faux boxwood topiary rounds…

…..the larger boxwood replaced the 2 small ones I had stacked on top of each other…

……….but then I decided to place one of the bunnies on top of the candlestick tucked into a bird’s nest.

I look for ways to embellish candlesticks other than using the typical candle…

This bunny has special meaning….

…..I was in Atlanta years ago…I dropped off my hubby at a client’s and I drove to one of my favorite shopping places.

It had a large TJ Maxx and Bombay Outlet and Calico Corners…

…..On that day, I noticed a change in the TJ Maxx…it was “TJ Maxx and More”…

When I entered the store, my jaw dropped…it was filled with the greatest home accessories…

…..I barely got through the store and the phone rang…”I’m ready, you can pick me up now!…uugghh!!..

Now that “store” is HomeGoods!…So basically the pretty ivory bunny was my first purchase from HomeGoods!

So here is the complete view of the Spring Vignette….

…..I am sure I will tweak it more in the next couple of weeks.
