One of my new finds came in handy on this rainy gloomy day. We have had rain for days.
I came across this beautiful etched hurricane. I love the pretty flowered detail on it and the candle glow shining through it.
I also found this pretty leaf dish that came from Paris.
Added some vintage books.
Some more vintage leather books to add height.
Threw in some old style keys.
The lamp moved back in here from the sun room.
I want to congratulate Marty of A Stroll thru Life for her 100th Tabletop Tuesday link party!
I think I have attended every party.
I hope you have sunshine where you are and please send some this way!

Love the keys! Thanks for sharing such a great post.
All very pretty Kim!
Very pretty Kim! That hurricane is beautiful and I love all your vintage books.
It looks great,Kim. I can't believe Marty has had 100 of those parties already! I wasn't blogging back then ..or if I was I didn't know what the heck I was doing! lol I love all your new finds. The books are really great and I love the little leaf dish with the keys. Nice job...and who said you could have a day off to yourself is what I want to know?! xo Diana
I'm loving the leaf dish! And those keys were the perfect thing to toss in it!
What a pretty vignette! I love the keys in that sweet dish! hugs, Linda
Kim I am deeply in love with your lamp...serious coveting going on in this mind of mine and yes loving the Florida sunshine!!! Heard there was an 8 car pile-up near our home and if we would have left for the airport this morning instead of last night we never would have made it ...whew...but that red eye is a toughy
Very pretty Kim! I love the the warm wood finish on your buffet. So pretty!
Your hurrican is so beautiful. Love the leaf dish..anything from Paris is so good....
What a pretty hurricane. Glad you had a "me" day. We have had gloom and rain for the last several days too. I think we are suppose to get sun tomorrow.
I really like the leaf and the keys. Great vignette. It is always nice to have time away by our selves and just look at everything with no interruptions.
Love it Kim~you are a great display artist. I love the keys in the majolica style dish!
I need some sunshine too Kim. I love your new finds!
This is a beautiful vignette. I've never decorated with vignettes, but I love to see what others have done.
Love your vignette, Kim! You found some great pieces; love the hurricane. I also love your books. We've been having some cloudy and rainy weather here. I'd be glad for just a half day of sun!
Very pretty Kim as everything you do my dear friend..I love your bathroom and the beadboard paper I did that to my laundry room 2 years ago and just love it so easy to work with and half the price and let work that the wood kind..Hope you have a GREAT evening my friend..Hugs and smiles Gloria
Kim, it looks great!
So pretty and I really love the hurricane!
Bright, happy, pulled together, interesting and uncluttered. Everything I ended up not doing on my mantle. Hmmm, re-evaluating.....
~Bliss~
Looks great, I especially love the keys!
Pretty vignette. I feel like we're living in a cave with all the rain and gloomy skies for so long. It's starting to make me feel claustrophic! I wish the sun would shine brightly tomorrow and the rest of the week, but I know that is just a dream.
Sometimes you just need to take a day for yourself. Shopping is a great way to spend it. HEHE.
Love how it all came together. Don't you love when you find something that looks great with all your other items?
Have a fabulous week,
Melissa
You always come up with the prettiest vignettes, Kim! I need you to come here and put some together for me. I'd lure you with the promise of sunshine, but sadly, it's gray and rainy here too :)
The hurricane is fabulous. I think our part of Georgia is expecting sun in the afternoon tomorrow Thank God. It was pea soup tonite and I was driving in it.
It is a very welcoming vignette. I love the figurine.The old books add such warmth.
I love that mirror! Such character.

Lookin' good! Are you shopping at Queen of Hearts? If so, swing by my booth one day. I'm over on "Church" street. Stop by one day, dealer SS77.

Did I miss a post about the charming frenchman with the cow? I am in love with staffordshire cows right now and that was my favorite thing in the post.. yet no mention of it!
What's the story? Where'd you find it? I LOVE IT!

The books and the keys just add so much charm. Your vignettes are always beautiful!
Such a pretty vignette. I love the way the candles look through the etched glass. I have been on the look out for vintage books with little success. Oh well, looking is half the fun!
Me days are the best! Especially after all the work you did on the bathroom and sunroom! You deserve it!
Looks fabulous, Kim!
Lovely finds and a beautiful tablescape! I will happily send you some sunshine. We are overheating here! x Sharon
Pretty! Love the mirror! Where is your favorite antique mall? I am looking for some around the south so that I can visit them when I go to the Haven conference. And we've had rain since Friday, too.
Beautiful, Kim! Love your new etched hurricane, and, you know I'm a fan of the books! We've had gloomy weather here, too, for the past few days ... ready for some sunshine!
You deserve a day off after all that hard work you've been doing lately! I love that etched glass hurricane that you found.
Really gorgeous vignettes - great finds!
Loving this vignette Kim. I am hoping to get out and do some shop browsing tomorrow...been awhile.
the keys in the leaf dish are fabulous!!!
Kim, so pretty! I love the hurricane! Beautiful! And the leaf plate with the keys looks just gorgeous!
Beautiful well thought vignette. Great way to spend a rainy day!!
I love love love your etched glass piece. It's gorgeous and perfect for a candle. We have had lots of rainy gloomy cold days too but I like them. I did lots of cooking and baking, burned the good smelling candles and enjoyed a cozy house. Your guest bath turned out so nice
I love everything! Very pretty!
Sherry's Bees Nest
Using an "organic" bark covered candle with an etched glass hurricane was a great choice...nice contrast! Love the leaf plate too!
Oh Kim, your vignette is stunning as always. Yes, I do think you have linked to every one of the TTT parties. I appreciate that so much. You are such a lovely and talented friend. Thank you for always joining and thank you for all the inspiration. Hugs, Marty
Your vignette Kim is gorgeous! I love all your finds, you sure scored my friend. Love the hurricane and vintage books, I have some from my Mil and you just gave me ideas on how to display them. Hugs,
FABBY
Kim, This is my favorite! Love it!
Oooh ... I love your new finds, Kim.
Rain and no sunshine here today, but with our drought we welcome all the rain we can get. Love the new finds, Kim. Your tabletop vignette looks great. ~ Sarah
Totally in love with the keys! Oh and the mirror!
Everything together is so nice--how wonderful to walk in and see that!
