Vignettes to Go...

Vignette - (vin-yet) - any small endearing scene, view, picture, etc.

This word is used to describe 

a number of concepts, and the one 

I wrote above is number 4 or 5 in the list. 

This definition came closest to 

my personal understanding 

and use of the word. 

It is usually a complete, small grouping

 of items within a definite frame or border. 

I love composing vignettes. But I haven't done

very many of them on this blog.

Which surprised me. I thought I had done more.

Sometimes, I tend to make things a little busy...

and other times I really love them. 

There is really only ONE PROBLEM.

I have too much stuff. 

Especially the kind you use 

in interesting little vignettes 

that might go on a tabletop

or on a bookcase.

And I can't use it all.

None of it is "valuable" enough

to sell at the consignment store.

But it is very cool stuff, 

so I've been hoarding it.

There. I finally admitted it.

I'm not just a demi-hoarder.

I'm a full-blown hoarder

of very cool stuff.

And while it IS very cool,

 I don't want it to force me

to make paths through my house

or to sleep somewhere

else other than my bed. 

So I had a thought...

I am going to turn my problem

into an asset. I plan to make little

vignettes of 3, 5 or 7 items

and sell the whole kit and caboodle 

on this blog, or on Etsy.

Beginning tomorrow, I will

make vignettes of selected items.

(I've spent the day gathering

them from here and there.)

I will photograph them

and pack them for shipping.

Then, I will post my new items

on this blog, and possibly on Etsy.

I'll try to have ballpark postage

calculated. And I'll make sure there

are dimensions so you will know

what might work in your homes.

It's a simple idea.

I don't know why I haven't 

thought of it before.

It will be a good way to

get cool things into the hands 

of people who appreciate them.

I can practice my design skills,

using Gestalt and Color Theory.

And for one price, someone will

receive a group of cool items

that work together, with the photo

of how they might be arranged

as a vignette.

(Of course, the items may be used 

any way the buyer would like to use them.)

The vignettes will be composed of

vintage, upcycled, ethnic 

and handmade items,

including:

small art pieces, candlesticks, empty vintage frames,

baskets, pottery, wood boxes, vintage book bundles, industrial elements, seashells, etc.

And I'm excited to get started!

I remembered this verse

that Pat posted a while back,

and I hope it came to my mind

for a very good reason...

Word for the Day:

You shall remember the Lord your God, 

for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, 

that he may confirm his covenant that he 

swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
