THIS WEEKEND.
Y’all…..my inner Dolly Parton comes out when I have something exciting/frightening to share…….it was something else.
I wanted to compare it to an Oreo.
Like some AWESOME stuff mashed between some really CRAPPY stuff but I like the chocolate wafer just as much as the cream filling.
I will have details.
And pictures.
And stories to tell.
But now, I am knee-deep in the laundry.
I think I heard my washing machine sigh loudly when he saw me this morning.
Or maybe that was me sighing loudly……
They are parties where you go to see cool things other bloggers are making.
I like to think of it as a big ole’ quilting bee.
Except no quilts are being made.
And we aren’t in the same room.
OKAY, it’s nothing like a big ole’ quilting bee.
But it’s fun.
And I have found cool projects over the years thanks to these parties.
What is a vignette you ask?
Good question.
I have no idea.
Well, I know but I don’t know the real dictionary term.
So I will tell you what my definition of a vignette is.
A vignette is a studly man who plays doctors on TV.
No silly, that is Anthony Edwards.
Maybe you have a little end table.
And you put a little pumpkin on it.
Then you add a candle.
You, my friend, have just created a vignette. Here is my take on a vignette:
I placed this Goodwill tray I refurbished two years ago on top of my garage sale end table/nightstand I mod podged last summer.
I just put all sorts of pumpkins in this tray.
I have had these pumpkins for years.
Then added the boo sign I made a few years ago.
Just a Dollar Tree frame + computer paper with the word Boo typed on it.
That’s it!
Essentially free to me because I bought nothing recently to create this.
I also have another “vignette” or “fall stuff on a table” in my dining room:
Nothing fancy and again, just items I had.
I didn’t have to go out and buy anything for fall to make both vignettes.
In fact, I haven’t had to buy anything for the past two years.
So there you go!
Creating a vignette on the down-low.
And Vignette in French means Kari is pretty.
So there’s that…..
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Loved this, your vignette (s?) and your pics are awesome. Um, I don't do vignettes because I just see it as more stuff to dust. Therefore, a bunch of tables with nothing atop them. Except for maybe some boxes I am saving for who knows what, or toys my kids left when I asked them to "clean up." But yours are awesome. I already said that.

LOL. I had to laugh when I saw that word. (Vignette)The other day, one of the DIY bloggers I like/follow posted on Facebook "Come check out my Fall Vignette!" … complete with a picture that had text that SAID that, of course. And for whatever reason, I just got a kick out of that. It's just a goofy word, for starters … and yes, like you said, is just another way of saying, "Come check out a bunch of crap I threw together on a table!" (not that it's actually crap … at least, I hope not, but you get my drift.)Anyway … just had to tell you that. Miss you!Hope all is well!Bec

Just when I was going on overload of all the pumpkins on every blog, I see yours and just sigh. How refreshing! I love what you did. It wasn't so much in your face as some of the others I've seen. I love the simplicity of this. Thanks for showing us what you did.
