Recent Thrifty Finds Come Together in Fall Vignette
September 19, 2012
I almost always have to show you all my thrifty and vintage finds.
Sometimes it takes me a while to use some of the items in my vignettes, but it just so happens that six of my recent finds combine in my latest fall vignette.
My newest fall vignette is on the hutch of my desk.
Remember the Enesco pheasant figurine that was made in Japan? It was in my last post about my finds. The Elgin wind up clock was the third clock in my new clock collection. The oval pheasant platter marked "Brooks Brothers" on the back was (I think) a giveaway from Brooks Brothers clothing.
Of course there's a little fluff in there too to make look like a vignette, like the mini pumpkin, vintage oil lamps from my collection, a very fun old wooden box with pine cones and foliage.
Do you remember the Enesco spaniel figurine carrying the duck? It's made in Japan so it's vintage. It has become one of my favorite collectibles. That's four new finds...
There are two more new finds on the lower hutch shelves for a total of six new finds used in this vignette. The Westclox square clock on the left and the black Baby Ben on the right were finds during the summer.
I love decorating with collectibles!

Carlene, your vignettes are always so interesting. You would love the auction that I attend on Mondays-a collector's heaven!
ReplyDeleteHi Carlene: Good finds and they all look great on your desk. Love the dog figurine. A very pretty fall display..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteLovely vignette! Those are great finds!! Visiting from Stone Gable.
ReplyDeleteYour pheasant figurine and platter were meant to be together. Love the fluff in your tool caddy, too!
ReplyDeleteCarlene, Your vignette is really pretty. I love anything with pheasants and your BB tray and the pheasant figure are perfect for Fall. I remember the spaniel because I have one just like it. :) It's on my hutch part of the desk in the office, too.
ReplyDeletePretty vignette! All the items compliment each other so nicely. I'm intrigued by how you placed the books...great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat vignette. I love the pheasant.

All of your treasures look wonderful in your vignette Carlene! I just love when everything comes together! Thank you for joining TTf this week. Have a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteAll of your finds look perfect together in the vignette. Love the platter, how nice for this time of the year. In your comment on my blog, you asked if the butternut squash was frozen? It was already cubed in a bag in the produce section. I see no reason why frozen squash couldn't be used. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend! Be sure to check my blog on Mon. for some big changes.----Shannon
ReplyDeleteCarlene, that is one beautiful vignette! I also want to say that that whole book case/shelf is gorgeous! I think my in-laws have a couple of those spaniels. I'm going to have to check it out closer when I'm there. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this Fall vignette Carlene. The pheasant worked in great with all of your collectables.
