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.

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!

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!
