Welcome!
I’m so excited to be hosting the Vignette Party of 2010 with my girlfriends and fellow bloggers. This is the 2nd party of the series and I’m happy you stopped by. Vignettes are such a fun way to share your Holiday cheer and a great way to let your personality shine!
I’m definitely a vignette girl. Love putting pretty things together on a table, sideboard, sofa table, or really any flat surface is fair game for a vignette to be born.
My Christmas fun continues into the kitchen where once again, lime green and red rule the room. I’ve had fun over the last couple of years adding some pretty sparklies in these fun colors to the little tree in here. Lime green and red are a perfect combo this time of year. As usual, I’m more is more when it comes to adding some sparkle and cheer for Christmas.
We’ve had some dreary weather this week, so it’s a challenge to come up with great lighting and get all the colors just right. My olive green walls are a good backdrop to the lime and red.
This little tree makes me so happy every time I put it up! There are more and more things out there in lime green for Christmas.
Yep, this makes me very happy to look at every morning. 
I assembled these Christmas mugs with pretty green napkins (yardsale finds, of course) and they will be handy for coffee or hot chocolate during the season. 
Hope, one of my favorite words to remember, especially this time of year. I added some pretty red balls to one of my white yardsale bowls. This is one of the easiest ways to bring in a little sparkle to any room. Just pile those pretty balls up in a big bowl. Found those glittery green birds in the after Christmas sales last year.
Cute Santa salt and pepper shakers came from a gift exchange last year and look great with my motif. 
I piled on plenty of sparkly picks to the top of the tree for that WOW factor. I happen to love a little WOW, don’t you?
Some oversized balls for the black shelf.
And a little red tulle ribbon and hanging ornaments on the lantern fixture add just enough bling over the breakfast table.
And remember, you definitely don’t want to pout this time of year! 
Another find after Christmas last year.
Red bottlebrush trees on the corner cabinet. 
And there you have it, Christmas in the breakfast nook this year.
One more of the tree all lit up at night. There’s nothing prettier than a house lit up by Christmas lights, is there? 
Over the sink on the little shelf, Joyful Tidings are fun to look at every morning over coffee. 
I’ve had so much fun with this little shelf, a perfect display spot for so many things. These colors are so happy and cheerful.
Those are faux paperwhites I found last year at a neat floral store here in Birmingham. They look so real sitting in faux cranberries.
Hello skinny Santa! He’s also a yardsale find that I couldn’t pass up sometime last May.
Thanks so much for stopping by. It’s your turn to sign up for the vignette party, so just add your link and let’s get this party rolling! If this is your first time by here, please look around. I have a lot of fun projects and lots of things that might inspire you too!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Rhoda, from Atlanta, GA and I love decorating and DIY projects. Decorating a home doesn't have to cost a fortune and I've spent years thrifting at antiques markets and yardsales, finding those treasures that make a home unique. I'm here to inspire and encourage other women to find their own inner creativity. Won't you join me?

Hey Rhoda! Love the red and lime green together, so festive! I was so excited to be number two on your linky party..woo hoo!
I agree with you totally, a house lit up for Christmas is the best…just can’t get any better!

Hugs

Very pretty! I love the green, red and white color scheme. Everything is so festive and fun too!
Wow! I want to come over for some hot cocoa. What a whimsical, fun, happy place….you’re so right, that red and lime green look awesome against the olive walls!
And that shelf….totally great spot to froufify each season
Thanks for hosting this shin-dig, and I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with 
Yowsa!!! I didn’t know what I was expecting (I knew it would be great!), but this really wowed me. Loving the lime green too. You’re awesome! Can’t wait to see everyone else’s links also!
These are two of my favorite colors for Christmas lately! I started with lime and red years ago on the wreaths on our home with ribbons. I think its so whimsical and fun, and just a little different ; ) Beautiful decor!! Thanks so much for sharing, I need to get my photos in!
Rhoda, I just love all of your decorations! The colors are stunning.
Your home is gorgeous. You sure can put together a vignette!
Thanks for hosting this party! I’m a new follower, will be keeping up.
Blessings,
Becky C
I also hang ornaments on our chandelier. Your vignette looks so festive and fun!
Your kitchen vignette is adorable. I love the pretty china and all your colors. Everything you’ve done looks so sweet! Oh, and I love what you’ve done with the over the sink shelf as well! The little kitchen tree is so cute. I always have a “frog” tree in my kitchen but I’m letting my daughter and grandson use it this year. I’m going to miss it.
Love the lime! My favorite picture is of the lantern with the heart ornaments… looks like it’s straight out of a magazine!
Thanks for hosting!! I love your red and lime green colors – so fun for Christmas!
Love the color combination! Great job – Everything is SO pretty!
I have seen a lot of the lime green used this year.
Thanks for hosting – You are appreciated.
I love it! Everything looks so pretty!!
I just love how you girls all coordinated these parties together this year. So creative and fun!
I’m with you–LOVE the lime green and red. Such a fresh take on Christmas decor. This makes me want to re-think what I’ve got going on in my kitchen (I’ve got the darker greens this time of year).
Thanks for hosting this fab party, Rhoda!
Rhoda,
This is the third year that I have used lime and red in our main living area and I’m still in love with it too. I love all of yours. Using the zebra print under it makes it even prettier.
I’m lovin’ this 4 part progressive party. Great idea.
Rhonda
Beautiful! You have so many fun items to look at… I love the skinny Santa, too! Thanks so much for hosting.
Very festive, Rhoda. Thanks for hosting.
Wow! It’s all so festive! The one element I love the most is how you have freshened the look of your classic pieces with the lime and red. It makes me realize that Spode can look modern and fresh again! Thank you so much for hosting – I can’t wait to see all of the great displays!
xo, Andrea
Rhoda, This look is just clean, fresh, and contemporary and I love it! It’s cute without being kitschy- is that a word? Using your b/w zebra print table runner is such a good counterpoint, too. How fun, fun, fun! And yes, ya gotta love that you thrifted some of it!

Hi Rhoda-
What a pleasant way to wake up each morning – to greet all the holiday cheer. I love the little tree, it would make me smile, too. I haven’t gotten anything done in my house except the mantel so far. You have gotten me inspired to get myself into full Christmas dec mode now. I will be linking hopefully sooner than later.
My best- Diane
Hi Rhoda…your post was so very inspiring. I need to get a move on it. I posted some snippets of vignettes, hope that is OK, I am a little behind in the decorating this year. I enjoy your blog and your ideas. I do not believe you have ever been over to my blog. Although I joined your thrift party many times and enjoyed that as well. Happy Holidays! Thanks for hosting.
Hi Rhoda…
Love, love, love your Christmas decor! The lime green is sooo much fun paired with the red. Your tree is adorable! And I love that the mugs are so handy for hot chocolate and cider this holiday season! Merry Christmas to you!
Susan
Hi Rhoda,
I love the lime and red combo. I would LOVE to use that combination somewhere…but if I bring home anymore Christmas decor I may get shot…LOL.
Thank you for your nice comment on my blog. Just to let you know the white bottlebrush trees used to be green. I was tired of trying to find the white ones, instead I bought a 21 pieces pack from KMart for $12.99 and threw them in bleach for half an hour. Tada!!! I had my white trees. Thanks for hosting this GREAT party.
Thanks for a smashing good party!
What a lovely vignette…I love the hanging ornaments!
Wow… so many gorgeous vignettes! I love the little shelf over the sink. So cute! Thank you for hosting this fantastic party!
Rhoda, your kitchen has put a smile on my face!!! Your lime and red are favorites of mine. It just looks like a fun place to hang out. I know it would be loads of fun hanging out with YOU, Merry Christmas sweet friend, Kathysue
Your house is so beautiful! You are most certainly the queen of vignette’s! Thank you so much for hosting!
Oh my, love love love this! Just eye candy!!
I am so happy to have found your blog due to the link up! So much inspiration to be found. Thanks so much for hosting!
Karen
Love, love, love the lime green and red. I think my favorite is the joyful tidings vignette–what a great reminder everyday! I’m working my way through the other vignette party posters and hopefully will get motivated to get decorating!
Your home looks LOVELY!! I think you have the magic touch in decorating Rhoda! It will be nice when my daughter is a tad bit older and I can think about decorating without “what will break and what will she grab!”
Thanks for hosting!
Hello Rhonda…visiting your fabulous party via Layla. Although I know Ive visited your blog before on my own. I have to tell you that your red/lime displays are adorable….I love those colors. Your displays are out of the box and filled with surprises. I too love the “its never too much” theory. Wonderful job! I posted a few vignettes of my own, still working on some things for future posts. Happy Holidays!!
Wow Rhoda! You never disappoint. I LOVE your more is more approach. You have a style that simply cannot be matched.
I’m so with you on that wonderful tabletop tree. That thing is sweet!
Sorry I have nothing to link up. Yet.
It’s still a little early in the season for me. I’ll come play if I can whip up something in time.
Thanks for hosting!

You accomplished the WOW factor. Looks great! Lime green & red is my favorite Christmas combo. I like what you did with your shelf over the sink. What a happy, cheerful Christmas kitchen. Thanks for hosting.
P.S. We have had yucky weather too. It is hard to get good pics without the natural light!
Fun kitchen decorating Rhoda. I love the color combination.
Rhoda,
Now that “Better Not Pout” sign is just so dang cute!!!! Love all you red and lime…I love using it too!!! Thanks for hosting…I’m having a fun time looking:)
Blessings,
Linda

Rhoda! It’s so lovely!
The lime green is FABULOUS! You always have such great ideas, and you have such a feel for how to place lots of color together, where it’s not obnoxious, but beautiful and cohesive
WELL DONE, girl!

Oh do I love this!!

Thanks for hosting such a fun party. There’s nothing better than Christmas decorations. I love your acorn ornaments and all your glittery fun picks. The bottle brush trees are adorable. I think my favorite area is your joyful tidings shelf. So lovely!
Your kitchen looks great. I love red and lime green together. Thanks for hosting the party.
I’ve only got the one I linked up photographed; I’d hoped to have a post with a few vignettes, but it’s been raining and cloudy here. Your looks great, Rhoda! I love your tree and the color scheme is one of my favorites.
Your vignette is adorable. I love the colors. You have made me smile this morning, Rhoda!
Love your blog – blogher not so much! Comments a little time consuming. But here goes. My first time here found you from Amusing Potpouri party link up. The animal print runner is so wonderful with this display. I am amazed how that trend has survived time. I still like the use of any kind of animal print. Great photography too.
You have a jump on decorating… I hope to start and finish this weekend. Lori
Beautiful!! Love all the bright pops of color! That is my kinda Christmas!
Rhoda I adore your tabletop tree and color scheme!! Beautiful!!

I am gathering much inspiration!
Lou Cinda
Beautiful, Rhoda! So inspiring.
I love all the colors!
So cozy and inviting!
That tree is stunning!!
And I love the colors! Those are the colors I chose to use too & I think the lime green just POPS!
But I think you could turn a cardboard box,some toothpicks & a little ribbon into a gorgeous display..LOL
Hi Rhoda! Your vignette was so gorgeous that I had to go very slowly, scrolling up and down just to take it all in! So fun and festive and perfect for the kitchen!
Thanks so much for hosting this fun party!
Vanessa
Rhoda, I absolutely love your buffet display! It is just breathtaking to me! I saved the picture just so I can watch for bargains to buy and make something even close to as pretty!! I’m not ready to post any Christmas vignettes yet but wanted to comment! Love it!!
Your home looks awesome!! So pretty and festive! Thanks for hosting such a fun party!
Merry CHristmas!

your cranberries look more like radishes
It all looks so pretty, Rhoda. It’s so colorful and festive!
Thanks for hosting. And your cranberries look like cranberries to me. 
I’m a sucker for vignette’s, too! Yours is beautiful–traditional with a splash of whimsy!
Love all the bright festive decorations Rhoda. Thanks for hosting the party! It’s so fun to be able to find so much creativity in one place! Merry Christmas!
Hi Rhoda, Thank you for hosting such a fun party. It really helps to inspire me when I link up and see what everyone else is doing for decorations. I love your red and lime color scheme, your home looks so jolly and festive. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Oh, Rhoda, I just LOVE the lime green and red in your kitchen! Such fun, cheerful colors–just right for a Christmasy theme to enjoy every day!
Thanks so much for hosting this fun party!
Hey Rhoda! Your kitchen looks so amazing in all it’s lime green and red glory. Just beautiful. The tree is such a delightful touch with all the fun elements that you used in it. Thanks so much for hosting this linky party, looking forward to seeing all the inspiring ideas from all your readers!
I’m in love with your lime green and red, Rhoda! The cute little candy ornament in the lime green wrapper is so cute.
I have a few lime green and red things this year…my Blessings Unlimited line has some cute “Happy Birthday to the King” stuff, and it’s got that color combo. I think it’s so fun…different from the traditional stuff. 
Wow just what I needed…..I need to get my act together…going to come back to night and peek around….
Thanks girlfriend….
Kathy
Loving your color combo, Rhoda! So fun for the season. The lime green is such a fun twist on the tradition forest green. All the little details in your house sure make it special. I can’t wait to link up to this party once I’m home from school. I just love decorating with my mom (: And we have lots of cute vignettes! Thanks for hosting the party
Hi Rhoda; I just enjoyed finding your blog and spending a few minutes looking it over! I love it
I’ve become your latest ‘friend’ on friend connect. Hope you’ll stop by and see mine too when you have time! Love the wallpaper in your nook by the way – I’ve been dying to do that to my office space below my basement stairs (truly in a nook) with wallpaper and someday I really will do it!

Gorgeous! I love it all. And, I’d love to go yard-saling with you…
Rhoda … your vignettes are beautiful !! I LOVE the color scheme … the tree is fabulous! And, how you’ve splashed Christmas all around your kitchen is stunning. You are so sweet to host such a fun Christmas gathering … I love it so much that I’ve crashed your party twice … sharing both my Christmas kitchen and mantel vignettes! LOL. I’m off to drool over everyone’s festive additions. *Becca*
I like your joyful tidings shelf the best! So much cheer here–I guess you’re just a natural for a linky party! Thanks for the fun!
Oh Rhoda,
Your home is always so much fun and all of the whimsical elements that you infuse are just precious! The wall color in this room just makes all of your decor pop…gorgeous…just gorgeous!

Rhoda, that is absolutely beautiful!! Love all the details, and the colors are so fun. You are so good at this!
Sorry it took me so long to link up!
Your home is beautiful, Rhoda! I love the red and lime green together. It is so fun, bright and festive. The striped bucket your tree is in is wonderful. You did a great job!
Hi Rhoda, thanks for hosting. Your kitchen — I absolutely love it! I love the whimsy, the colors, the salt and pepper shakers. The tree is over the top and it’s just fantastic. It’s fun to see whimsy for a change! Thanks again.
Hi Rhoda! Oh, your kitchen looks darling! I love your addition of the lime green! That little tree! Too cute! I’m also loving your dangly green pinecone ornies you have hanging down from the green ribbon. Oh, I love this – can I steal, um, borrow that idea? I have a window over my kitchen sink with an olden wooden cornice thing and I could do this too! I wish I could have joined your party – my tree is up but that’s all. I had my daughter and little grand daughter for a visit and I’m way behind!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia
Rhoda, everything is gorgeous! I especially love those green acorn ornaments, but then I’m partial to acorns…. its all so bright and sparkly! Thanks for hosting the holiday party, I just added my mantle… Happy Holidays!
Such beauty!!! The lime and red are STUNNING. A beautiful spin on traditional colors.
Thanks for this great party for us! LOVE it!
Roselle
Rhoda, as you can see I love lime and red too! Your vignette is beautiful! Thank you so much for the party!
