Creating A Multi-Purpose Fall Vignette
I decided to play around today creating a centerpiece for Fall. I like to simply use objects that I already have on hand around the house and see what I can come up with. I gathered several items and had a fun few minutes arranging and rearranging them and I think I created a vignette that could easily slide from Fall right on into Thanksgiving.
I borrowed some pumpkins that I was displaying in other places and found an orange charger that I had tucked away in a cabinet. I scoured through my candles and found a glass votive cinnamon scented candle and a couple other candles that I thought would work well together. And there is a little egg that has beautiful tans and blues all swirled together that I added to the mix.
The colors represented here are mostly earthtone/Fall colors that compliment each other with a touch of blue in the candle and the egg to pull it all together. With vignettes like this, I try to vary heights for interest. By the way, the candle holder holding the blue candle is actually a vase but it works beautifully I think!
Are you creating any vignettes or centerpieces for Fall? Getting ready for Thanksgiving? If you're like me, you can't believe that November is just a few days away and the holidays will be upon us before we know it! Whatever you are doing, I hope you are enjoying some fun, creative and beautiful days.
Until Next Time,

Very pretty arrangement. Reminds me of a still life that an artist might create for painting purposes. I like the varied heights and colors of the pieces, and that navy candle is a nice, kind of unexpected color. So glad that fall no longer just means gold and brown.
ReplyDeleteI have set our table for Thanksgiving already!! Ha!! Even with kitty fur flying about our house with great abandon. I used chargers, dinner plates from the closest thing we have to china, and paper dessert plates. We are going out of town for 10 days, and I am worried our kitties may rearrange things on the table before we get home. But nothing I can't fix.
Thank you, Leslie. It does resemble a still life. I think it's fun to just try things and see what works. I have kitty fur at my house too so no worries about your Thanksgiving table! It sounds beautiful. I hope you have a good and worry free trip!
ReplyDeleteI like how you brought together individual items resulting in a lovely vignette that will indeed lead right into later fall and Thanksgiving. It's amazing that you used a vase as a candle holder; it works perfectly. I have a small vase that has a similar shape, so now I'm going to try this same creative use for my vase.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. Let me know how your small vase works as a candle holder. It's so exciting to use items we own in many different ways!
ReplyDeleteLove your arrangement - it has fall and Thanksgiving written on it. I've drug out some old pieces and scattered them around. Been so much going on in my world I haven't had time to think about Thanksgiving. I cannot believe it's almost November.

Thank you, Iris, and I can't believe it is almost November either! Time literally flies doesn't it?!
