Creating Small Vignettes and You Are The Star
Creating Small Vignettes and You Are The Star
Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was pretty good.
I won't bore you with details, but we are dealing with my MIL who fell and broke her back. She is 97 and there is nothing they can do because of her age. It is hard on my FIL who is 96 and not sure what to do. Time will tell.
Have a great week ahead.
WELCOME to the August 2025 "You're the Star" Blog Hop!
Before we continue onto the Linky party I wanted to share from my blog:

Creating Small Vignettes with Items You Already Have
Creating Small Vignettes with Items You Already Have
I love creating vignettes and I find that creating small ones is so much fun. You can use them anywhere and there are so many things you can use to add to them.
I have many vignettes around my house, actually I think they are everywhere, at least that's what hubby says.
Lets start with the dining room. I found this pewter pitcher when I was at a church sale in PA in June. I also found the small rolling pin that is in there. I also placed a wooden and a wooden buckle, some flowers and a dolly. I must admit I have a weakness for wooden things. You will see as we go on.
This vignette is in the hallway between two bedrooms. This one has a sock darner, some dollies, a cookie cutter and two other wooden pieces. I might have to change this one a little since there is too many wooden things. You could add small picture frames as well. I find that I just look through my stuff and use what I have.
This colander is in the bathroom. As you can tell I have lots of dollies too, This one also has wooden spoons and there is a bundle of sticks. You can use what ever works for you.
This one is in a bedroom. I have a small enamel tray with a milk jar of marbles, some wooden pieces and a crocheted small purse. I also love to use old books as risers.
Small baskets are another great tool to use for vignettes. This one has a pair of gloves, some lace, a plate and some wooden items.
This container is a silver lid to some casserole. I turned it over and filled it with dollies, thread spools, some wooden napkin holders, a wooden paddle and a tin scoop.
This one is a little creamer that I added a dolly and a brass key. That little chicken is adorable.
For this one I used a gravy boat. It has lots of grazing on it. Dollies, wooden pieces, a couple of white candles and two keys.
This little dish was 50 cents and it was silver so I spray painted it white. As you can tell, more dollies and wooden things. I even added a wooden knob. It is endless of all the items you can use.
This last one here, is a small pitcher that I filled with wooden thread spindles. and a wooden mallet.
As you can see, there are so many things you can use for creating small vignettes. Candles, small frames, dollies, vintage gloves, wooden spoons, any wooden pieces, rulers and crocheted pieces. Containers like small baskets, creamers, bowls, lids, trays, sugar bowls, sewing machine drawers.
Look around your house, you might be surprised at what you already have. If you are looking for items, check thrift stores for sugar bowls without lids, decorative pieces with lids missing. You can often find these are very inexpensive, then go wild.
I usually just go t my stash and find all sorts of things. Sometimes too much - therefore I create too many.
I also have some larger vignettes like this one. You can read about this one here.

This Week's Features
I won't lie, I am a huge pumpkin pie fan, but sometimes that takes a little too much effort. Enter the No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe - much quicker and easier to put together for a fall meal. It's never to soon to start planning your autumn desserts!
However we STILL cannot get TOO far ahead of ourselves. I mean come on - September is really still summer, or so I feel. So let's enjoy what's left of it with this Pina Colada Punch. Besides a margarita, a pina colada is my absolute favorite summer cocktail, but turning it into a punch takes it to a whole new level!
I am very much so in my candle era here at Starry Acres. One of my nightly rituals is to make a yummy cup of tea and light a bunch of yummy candles to enhance my space not only with their luscious scent but with their beautiful light. This tutorial for a Boujee Fall Candle Hack will help me enjoy my candles even more. Or, how about these for Thanksgiving hostess gifts or Christmas gifts?
I planted sunflower seeds very late in my garden this year and a few of them are just to bloom. I know my almost 4-year-old will be thrilled when they open! This Paper Plate Sunflower Craft will be so fun for her to make her own sunflower.
BONUS FEATURE
I am a hot beverage drinker - coffee in the morning and tea in the evening. I'm always on the hunt for new hot coffee/tea like bevies to try and I was fascinated by this post on How To Make Baobab Coffee. Doesn't this look delicious?
