vignette

There's a part of me that lies stuck in the hollows of old pictures.  When I saw this old photograph laying on a table at a yard sale, it spoke to me.  People enjoying a moment now long passed.  I love the time period and the clothing that they are wearing.  Since they are dining, I thought it would be fun to put in my kitchen and incorporate it into a display...


First I cleaned the glass and took off the price sticker (.50cents).  Then I centered it in my buffet window and created a vignette around it...




The lamp in the window used to be brown-I painted it white.  The ceramic roosters on the left came from a yard sale as well as the green candle and holder (each item less than a dollar!)  One of my favorite boutiques just went out of business and I was able to get the sturdy weathered pots for $3 a piece!  Then I just stuck the greenery inside each of  them.

  2. An instant conversation piece! How often do you get asked to tell the story around the photo? Your vignette is lovely, Robyn.
