Favorite Projects in 2012
December 27, 2012 by admin • 69 Comments
I’m still a “newbie”, I started blogging about three months ago. It has been such a fun adventure for me and what I appreciate the most is you, my new “bloggie” friends. Your kind words and sweet comments lift my spirits and make me try harder. You are the wind beneath my wings.
My favorite projects so far are definitely the tablescapes and vignettes. I tackle them with a lot of enthusiasm and joy. Looking back, here are a few of the favorites:
The estate sale find galvanized “oil pan” became a vessel to hold “fall’s bounty”. Read about it here.
An old drawer found at an antique mall was filled with “shades of green” and became part of a tablescape.
Thanksgiving tablescape displayed natural and rustic elements. You can read about it here.
Christmas Tablescape , my inspiration was this fun plaid tartan ribbon….the center of the table became the stage for ribbon and ornaments, all in plaid. Posted here.
I also love decorating the sideboard (server). The old shutter lends itself well as a backdrop for many scapes and vignettes, this scape includes the beloved cyclamen.
I dearly love to decorate or “tweak” the tray on the coffee table.
Decorated right around Thanksgiving, PB style…posted here.
I also enjoyed creating this Christmas craft….a sweet cranberry wreath.
Last but not least, a favorite recipe comes along and I have to try it…..most of the time it is simple and calls for few ingredients, but tastes really good like this Apple Bread.
These are a few of my favorite projects I posted about this past year….I can’t wait for the opportunity to tackle more projects in 2013 and for you to join me in this fun adventure.
So thankful you stopped by, hugs to you!

Teresa, thank you for leaving a sweet note, you are too kind…Have a wonderful Happy New Year, sweet “bloggie”friend! xo
The way you frame your vignettes and tablescapes in the “best of” series makes it hard to believe you’ve only been blogging a short while ( poorly worded sentence, but a sincere compliment). Looking for to seeing your 2013 posts. Wishing you a happy and healthy new year

Hi Moni,
So nice to meet you here in blogland. This was a very nice post and recap. Loved all your vignettes, they were all beautiful. Easy to see how much you enjoy decorating. I love
decorating as well, and doing vignettes and tables too.
May you be blessed with a Joyous New Year,

Love all your tablescapes and vignettes! I need to be better about creating detail for my home like you have. Thanks for the inspiration!
Tania
I love your shades of green tablescape! I can’t believe you’ve only been blogging for three months – your blog looks so professional!
After taking down all my Christmas decorations, I have been struggling with what to put on the little bench I use for a coffee table. Looking at your great table displays have given me a great idea. And, today it is raining so I think I might just get it done.
Happy New Year
Hi Moni, not that I’m an expert or anything, but I think you’ve done such a great job with your blog for being a newbie. I remember when you told me that and I was blown away, because your blog is very polished. I look forward to seeing more in 2013!

I’m visiting from Frugal Friday and really like your blog but don’t see where I can follow you.

How well you have used your creative juices, both in cooking and decor. Having favorite things that you can tweak is one of my favorite ways to redecorate. You also do good work with your camera.
I cannot believe you have only been blogging for 3 months. You do great work! Thank you for sharing this at the Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see your prettiness again on Monday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Thanks Kathryn, I appreciate the sweet note. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
Love them all – especially the display with the old shutter!
Thanks for sharing at Knick of Time Tuesday – don’t forget to add a link back to the party.
Blessings,

Thank you Lynne, I appreciate the kind note…have a great week!
Fun to look back at your projects. I remember pinning the tartan ribbon tied around your stack of plates. I’m going to use that idea.
Thanks for blogging………I look forward to following along in 2013.
Thanks so much for the sweet note Sarah, have a great week!
What a great review of your past year!
