A Much WeLCoMed New Year... ~*JANUARY*~ -2021-

 

Starting Off the *New Year* in-our-home, with a very cheerful, fresh, light, & welcoming

 "EARLY  JANUARY" WINTER VIGNETTE... 

I've always loved designating  ~just one main area~  in our home to create *Seasonal Vignettes*...

  I like the IMPACT/STATEMENT it creates - having just this ONE area, verses spreading it out all over the home.  I focus, for the most part on selecting One-Of-A-Kind *ViNtaGe FiNdS* to create these Vignettes...  I look to nature for inspiration & re-purposing objects to relate to a seasonal look ...  

 I chose to put away  WINTER themed adornments such as snow shoes, skis, ice skates etc. -  even tho they relate to winter...  I've just had enough of these in previous Holiday Displays.   THIS YEAR I WANTED SOMETHING  FRESH, BRIGHT, & UP-LIFTING!!!   

White Vintage Tote

with FReSh/ALiVe Green Leaves..

Dried Oranges ~ Strung on a ViNtaGe Ladder...

I've always wanted to try drying oranges!!! - This was the year!

I cannot tell you how wonderful it makes me feel adding this 

"ORANGE" PoP-Of-CoLoR 

in the dead of winter!!!  

ChiPPy-WHiTe 

ViNtaGe Nail Barrel

Filled with twigs, pinecones, dried orange slices & vintage birds...

ViNtaGe *Spun-Cotton* BiRdiE

Dried Orange Slices...

Using an *Old-SHaBBy* Chippy-White Ladder as an anchor piece,

created a lot of  "air-space" - lending a much cleaner/less busy look ~ especially after the holidays.  Adding some "Dark Mink Fur Balls, Mini Lights, & Candles, added just the right balance of Winter & FreShness I was looking for...

Stay Safe *Out-There*!!!

Better Times are Around the Corner!!!

I've been dragging my heels with THIS SEASON'S

 Early Summer Vignette in our home entry,
  ~ UNTIL I scored this FaB Old 
ViNtaGe Bi-Centennial Illinois License Plate

 - Yesterday -

I'll have to say ~ 

*I LoVed the way it turned out!!!

~**ViNtaGe Items Tell A Story**~

I wonder who churned the ice cream in those buckets???

Was it hot that day??? -  Flavor???

Grandma's House???

Did someone fill the Star Tin with Cookies & bring it on a visit???

Plastic Stars ~ Probably hung on a Christmas Tree...

On and On...

Land Of Lincoln
Bi-Centennial Illinois License Plate

**~Things I keep in mind when creating

 Seasonal Vignettes at Home**~

I Want My Items to be seen/make a statement...

Keeping Them ALL in one place does this...

(Hence the Entryway Area in Our Home, Is Best) 

 Spreading them around the home looses that effect...  

 

Choosing items that relate to the Season...

Memorial Day...  4th of July...  Early Summer...

Makes me think of Flags... Red/White/&Blue

Ice Cream, Stars, Picnics, BBQs Etc.

ALL OF THESE CAN BE SEEN IN MY VIGNETTE

Using ViNtaGe Items...

 

HaVe a Great Rest Of Your Weekend!*!*!
