Vintage Vignette For Spring

Vintage Vignette For Spring. Celebrate the season by creating your own springtime tray vignette or centerpiece with pretty flowers and vintage finds.

Seasonal Saturdays

Happy weekend! Today I’m back to join my friend Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home for a Seasonal Saturdays roundup  of spring and Easter ideas. Our spring season can be so fleeting where I live. So we have to enjoy every pretty day that comes our way before summer is bearing down on us.

At the end of my post you will find links to visit my friends from different parts of the country celebrating the spring season too. If my friend Laura from Decor To Adore sent you, welcome to Thistle Key Lane. I’m so happy you are here!

Vintage Vignette For Spring

The tray centerpiece on our kitchen table is all about celebrating spring with pretty flowers and vintage goodies. I also love tucking in special finds from nature that add a bit of interest or texture. As an example, check out my recent garden basket vignette on our entry table here.

Vintage Finds

Every once in a while, I get a thrill on my thrifting adventures, and find extra special pieces. On my last excursion, I found a piece of majolica pottery, and felt like I won the jackpot! This sweet pitcher is not in the best condition, and unfortunately can no longer hold water, but I love it anyway. 

I’ll let you in on a little secret that works great for me. I’m using a plastic freezer bag inside the pitcher to hold water and the fresh flowers. If you buy a vase or pitcher and are not sure if is water tight, you can test it by putting water in the container then set it in a casserole dish. Leave it over night to make sure their are no slow leaks. 

Here’s a list of additional special vintage finds that I’m including in my spring vignette as well as the pitcher.

• mini ironstone jar and a match holder
• Field Guide To Wildflowers book
• the sweetest chocolate lamb mold

Don’t you just love how unrelated pieces can work together? That just goes to show, you can use what you already have, to create the most pleasing vignettes. Speaking of unrelated pieces, the botanical candle holder is a DIY project that you can check out here.

Spring Bird’s Nest

Sweet bird’s nest are perfect for spring displays. Even though it’s not a real nest, I’m still giving it a prominent place under a glass cloche. The little speckled eggs are made from air dry clay with a coat of light blue craft paint.

By the way, did you know you can make almost any object look more special or important when displaying it under a cloche? It’s a wonderful trick. Try it! Check out this post here for more cloche ideas.

Here are three more posts to check out for spring inspiration using items you probably all ready have around your house.
