Cherubs, Pearls, and Apothecary Jars

*

*

Hello my friends...I'm so happy to see you today!

*

Today I am joining in with Metamorphosis Monday, Table Top Tuesday, and Tuesday Trivia. You will find the credits for these fun filled events at the end of the post.
*

I wanted to share with you a mini-metamorphosis that has taken place in my living room. It's a small change but a change nevertheless!
*
A Vignette of Pearls...

*

This is the "before" photo!

*

This small table is in my living room. A very simple vignette...but the pearls "class" it up a bit! Hehe! I found these beautiful pearl and glass mosaic candleholders at Hobby Lobby on sale several months ago. I have really enjoyed them...using them in several different vignettes at my place! They sit simply upon three decorating books...and are joined by a little white bird!
*

I loved how these photos came out...I caught the light shining in upon the pearl candleholders at just the right time! Sooo pretty!
*
Now for the mini-metamorphosis....

*

A full view of the "new and improved" table top vignette.

*

This is the formal sitting area of my living room! It also has recently undergone a huge metamorphosis...I added a faux fireplace! This is a nice area to sit and visit in when guests are here.

*

Now I told you that this was a mini-metamorphosis! Hehe! What changed you ask? Well...I added my tall apothercary jar into the mix of pearl candleholders!
*
Cherub in an Apothecary Jar...

*

As you can see, the pearl candleholders, books, and little white bird are still here, however I added my 21in. tall apothecary jar to the vignette!
*

I placed a creamy white, cast iron cherub into the apothecary jar atop an ecru lace doily! And...I added a pretty red and olive green tassel to the top of the jar!
*

*

An "artsy" photo!

Did you know???

*

In the realm of decorating, we often use the term "vignette" to describe a special placing of various items to create a beautiful decoration on a table, bookshelves, etc.

*

However, according to Dictionary.com, a "vignette" has several other meanings;

*

1. A decorative design or small illustration used on the title page of a book or at the beginning or end of a chapter.
*
2. An engraving, drawing, photograph, or the like that is shaded off gradually at the edges so as to leave no definite line at the border.
*
3. A decorative design representing branches, leaves, grapes, or the like, as in a manuscript.
*
4. Any small, pleasing picture or view.
*
5. A small, graceful literary sketch.
*

WOW!!! I didn't realize that the word "vignette" had so many different meanings. I thought it would be fun to share them with you!
*

*

Ahhh...just look at this sweet cherub! He has a violin and is playing a very sweet song!!! Hmmm...maybe a love song. What do you think? Hehe!
*

*

Well my friends...there you have it! A mini-metamorphosis of a living room vignette! I hope you enjoyed!!!
