How To Turn Any Vignette Into a Holiday Vignette...

Do you feel like when a new season or Holiday arrives -

 that you just don't have the 'goods' to decorate for it?  Think again... 

Let's take Valentine's Day for example since that's 'up next'.

  See the store display I did above?  There's really nothing

 'love'ly about it.  It's mostly wooden and primitive looking

 stuff.  But - I threw in a few wooden hearts

 and red undertones in the linens and 'wa la' -

 it'll work for a Feb. 14th grouping.   

I could have cut out paper hearts for the same effect.

Above is another one that has really nothing 'valentiney' 

in it.  I went around the store and looked for anything that 

kinda resembled romance or softness.  Pink, white and 

glass will work - angels too - kissing angels even better 

(altho that pair is really left over from Christmas!)  

Throw it all together and it works. In this case - 

it was more about pulling together a color of the season

 than finding the perfect themed items.  That little 

sachet in a dish is the only thing heart shaped. 

Just about anything can become 'holiday decor'.  

A jewelry box in this case is surrounded

by some heart things and suddenly - 

it's Valentine material.  I could have used a wooden bucket 

or a rolling pin or... (whatever) - and it could have worked.

Another tip - when I can't find anything else I often look for 

a themed gift bag (we all have them - or make one!)  

Sometimes that's the only holiday piece that

 I'll have in a grouping.  Again - it can work.

To review - think color, small themed enhancements

 (even if they're quick cut-outs) or 1 or 2 larger themed pieces.

  Happy holiday decorating!
