Spreading Easter Joy with Vintage Vignettes

sempie Mayıs 28, 2022

Hello my friends,

I am so happy to be joining 11 other talented bloggers that will be sharing our love for vintage.

These cast iron flower basket door stops are one of my favorite collections. I was inspired by my cute friend, Joanne to collect them. In fact, she found 2 of the 3 for me.

I bought the bunny for $5 at an antique store in Texas and found the little cart at a thrift shop for $1. The chicks beaks were all chipped. a little paint fixed them right up!

A big thank you to my sweet friend, Amber from

Follow the Yellow Brick Home for putting this

hop together for us.

Not only is it a fun vintage hop, but please return on Friday to link up your own spring and Easter posts.

If you are 'bunny hopping' (wink) over from Laura's at

Decor to Adore then I know that you have already enjoyed lots of eye candy!

As long as I can remember, I have always loved creating scenes. Yup, long before I had ever heard of the word, 'vignette'.

A mixture of old and new is what I consider a perfect (scene) vignette!

A reproduction architectural piece, a vintage scale, an enamel pan that looks vintage, but isn't, and a few Easter treasures.

Alot of my Easter décor is old, but not yet considered vintage. But add a few old books and it's a 'winner, winner, chicken dinner'!

Or maybe a couple of chippy corbels. These beauties traveled all the way home with me from Charleston, SC.

Although I usually like to include at least three items in my vignettes, at times I like to keep them simple. Such is the case with this vintage laundry basket, olive bucket filled with dried hydrangeas from my Limelight tree, an old quilt top, and a simple birds nest.

The found nest with the thrift find hand painted egg are the star of the show. A few dried pink hydrangeas brings out the

pink in the egg.

I am such a silly willy! I like to play with my vignettes as if they were my toys. :)

This watering can was joined by a vintage platter, some garden gloves, and an egg spray.

but then. . .

I bought some potted tulips at Home Depot.

So it found a new place to reside for a few days.

Just simple little things evoke fond memories for me. In the 70's it was very popular to be gifted little planters like this lamb when you had a baby. I wish I had some of my original ones. I scored this one for $2 at the same antique store where I bought the bunny in the first photo. I also remember my kids playing with these lace up cards when they were little.

I have lots of vignettes on my kitchen counters.

They make kitchen chores much more delightful!

I recently purchased the toy sink and the fuzzy chick was a souvenir from a trip to Salzburg, Austria years ago.

The basket and both sugar eggs were thrift finds. I added the plastic flower and velvet ribbon to the handle. Two of my girls saw them last week and loved them. They remembered getting one in their baskets as children.
