The REALITY of Winter, here in the Midwest,

Whether you actually light them -OR- Not,

Candelabras Make a FaB "Statement Piece"

Although not that easy to find, I always try to have a few on hand at my SaLes...

 ~** ViNtaGe CaNdeLaBra **~

Ornate Details...

ViNtaGe Brass Candelabra...
Sooooo Jeanne d' Arc Style!!!
I light this one quite often with the safety of glass votive candles...

I tweaked the candelabra just a bit  ~ with the addition of a

 Metal Birdie & Red Berries...

BeSt Old SHaBBy CaNdeLAbRa ~
Turned Necklace Display... 
Necklaces lift off soooo easily!*!*!

 This smaller-sized candelabra has pierced fluted edges,

I just may "bundle up" & venture out - ToDay...

But it's Windy!*!*!

ViNtaGe PAPER MACHE SQUIRREL VASE...

Waking Up to 32 degree temperatures this morning...  Wearing my Winter Coat/Down Vest for a few days now... Gloves & Hat on-my-walks...   It's feeling more like "Early-Winter" instead of a Crisp Fall Day!*!*!

Yard  Squirrels are B*U*S*Y!*!*!  

A sure sign that Winter/Holidays are just around the corner... 

This ViNtaGe Paper Mache Squirrel Vase

 will stay displayed till Thanksgiving adorning

 the bedside table in our Guest Room...

The Annabelle Hydrangeas 

will remind me of warmer days gone by

 ~ adding just a hint of color...

All Naturally ChiPPy & WHiTe

**Just the way I like it**

Looking at the simplicity of the Vignette

 feels so refreshing...  I'm getting a little tired of all the Strong Fall/Halloween Color I've been

displaying with lately...

Have a great rest of the day!*!*!
