Centerpiece Vignette

A Light and Airy Look

001

Hello Everyone, I am slowly making my way through the house and changing things out for the New Year. I love Christmas but I am totally ready to leave it behind once it ends. I am ready for a lighter and softer look.

003

I found this lacy tray on Saturday with a slightly shabby look. I love trays and have them everywhere.

004

006

The tray provided the perfect place for simple white flowers in little clay pots. This is a look I never tire of.

007 

The napkin ring is part of a Fitz and Floyd hummingbird set I have had for years.

011

This picture shows the lacy feeling of the tray. I have a set of the glass lanterns and just love them. They work well with so many things.

014

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. The weather in Florida is gorgeous….I wait for this all year. Thanks so much for stopping by.

It looks like Spring has come to your house. How nice your new tray looks. I still have snowmen up here for a couple more weeks and will then move into Valentines for February. I'll be ready for a new look by then.

What a lovely vignette/centerpiece. It couldn't be any prettier. I'm trying to come up with a centerpiece idea. I'm truly inspired by yours. Thanks for sharing. I'd be honored to have you share this at my Show & Tell party on Wednesday. The party is at mrshinesclass.wordpress.com

For once, I was so ready to pack Christmas up. I love the house once it's undecorated - it looks so fresh and uncluttered.

Your decor looks so springish and pretty. I'm not ready to fast forward the season just yet - I'm still waiting for snow :) It's been unseasonable here, and I'm looking forward to enjoying the cold months with hot chocolate, throws, my fireplace stove, and outdoor winter activities. Can't wait to hit the slopes!

I really like this vignette -- and it helps me solve a problem with my coffee table arrangement that's been puzzling me! It needs one of those pots of flowers. I'll be on the lookout for one!

It's all so pretty, and I love the white look year round. The lantern is my favorite part, but that tray is diviine too. I'm always on the look out for pretty trays, because you can use them for so many ways in decorating!
