Late Summer Fishing Lodge *Vignette*

I am linking up with Marty at a Stroll Thru Life ... http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com/ for her weekly vignette showcase, Table Top Tuesday!I look forward to changing and re-decorating my foyer vignette, as often as possible! I try to stay within seasonal themes and colors. My newest theme is Late Summer Fishing Lodge. I was actually inspired a few months ago by cousins mountain cabin in Virginia that we visited for a cousins reunion. I wanted to mail them off a special package chock full of decor for their 4000 sq ft CABIN! And I fell in love with all the fun, kitchy treasures I found! The walking stick, to the right side of the tray, is actually a branch that my husband reclaimed from their property, stripped and cleaned up! I found the lodge canister at Home Goods, the camera is my Dad's that he purchased in Korea while he was there for the War (in the early 50's), vintage books from my collection and the lantern I have had for years.

The distressed tray and white crackled vase are from Joann's (I used them in my Beach Vignette), the wooden heart is from Goodwill (Feb purchase), the primitive pitcher is from Home Goods and the fishing basket is from Bealls Outlet.The basket was an estate sale find (details in the post under this one), bird house is from Home Goods and there is my hubby's beautiful walking stick!

Thanks for looking and leaving me your fabulous opinions!

  8. Hi Rachel...

    Ohhhh...I just love your late Summer Fishing Lodge vignette...so creative and you "pinned" the theme to a tee (and I might add...very beautifully!) I really do enjoy the "themed" vignettes...sometimes they are difficult to pull off without looking kind of cheesy...know what I mean? But...you really have done this sooo well! The fishing/lodge feel is there and your accessories are sooo beautiful!!! I love the fishing creel...and I love how you added the tall grass to it...very pretty, my friend!!! And...I fell in love with your lantern...it's fabulous! Love, love, LOVE your vignette...it's creative, unique, and very tastefully done! BRAVO!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!

    I also wanted to thank you for coming by and taking a peek at my blue cottage veranda! I really enjoyed your visit and sweet note! Thank you, my friend!!!

    Warmest wishes,
    Chari @Happy To Design
