I put together this
pretty shabby chic tablescape because I was in a creative mood. Creating
vignettes always seems to fulfill my desire to express myself, so I
gathered some of my favorite things from around the house to share with you.
Although none of these items are expensive, they all hold special memories of
good times and family.
I have a love of vintage plates, in particular
ones with pink roses on them. I went through my collection and added some of my
favorite plates in an old planter lined with doilies.
This hobnail candle holder and the basket in the background were part of the
milk glass collection my Grandmother gave me a few years ago.
These strawberries
and blueberries are in a milk glass bowl my parents gave my Great Grandmother
the first year they were married. Mom was so proud to have given her this
because at the time my parents were only 19 and did not have much money for
gifts.
When my Great
Grandmother passed away, the bowl was returned to Mom because it had such
sentimental value to her.
I've used this pink shabby chic birdhouse many times and thought it would be
perfect on this table.
Pretty embroidered and lace linens are another weakness of mine. Dad bought Mom
the pink one while on a trip to Belgium about 30 years ago.
You have probably seen this chintz tea cup at HomeGoods. This cup is not old,
but I thought it was too pretty not to use in this vignette.
This terracotta urn was painted white and filled
with beautiful pink flowers.
I used this pretty old quilt for a tablecloth as a backdrop for all
these special things.
Hope you've enjoyed
seeing some of the things that have a special meaning to me.

you? Leave a comment to tell us about them.

You always know how to put things together to look their best. I have some doilies from my Grandmother and a few of her sewing things. It would be fun to put those together in a basket. Hugs!
Hi Shannon! OH, this is so pretty! I agree with Diane, you always to make beautiful vignettes.

Shannon, I love how you put this special vignettte together. Personally, I enjoy the feel of vintage plates in my hand. That old planter is the perfect piece to hold your beautiful treasures, and I love the addition of doilies. Happy Friday!!
Love all the PINK!!! Pretty plates and beautifully displayed.
Very pretty vignette, Shannon! I love all your rose dishes. They look wonderful all together like that.
What a pretty vignette, Shannon! I love that everything you have used has special memories! Your china plates are gorgeous, and I love your milk glass too. I've got quite a few milk glass pieces, many came from garage sales and thrift shops. How nice that you have the bowl that belonged to your Great Grandma!
It's all very pretty but I am really loving your bird house and soft colored linens.

This is femininity at its best, Shannon! Very pretty! I'm sitting here in sweat pants and a T-shirt, but thinking I should go put on a dress and heels!!! :-) I have a LOT of things in my home that are of less monetary than sentimental value. I tend to FEEL more than I think sometimes. Happy New Year to you!
Love your vintage touch. The soft colors of your vignette are so beautiful, your pieces are splendid.
So pretty! I love the hobnail and it always blends so well with shabby chic! Blessings, Tammy
Lovely pictures and treasures. Yes, I have too many sentimental things to list. They always make me smile.

This is a pink-o-licious table. Love the sweet details, and the bowl of berries is a perfect touch.
I just love everything that you shared in this post, Shannon! You have some wonderful family treasures and so many other special things.
There is nothing I don't absolutely love in this table. The quilt, the dishes, the sentimental pieces.. all just so wonderful.. xo marlis
Your vignette is absolutely beautiful. The plates are gorgeous too. I have my grandmother's McCoy planters and some painted dishes from my husband's grandmother, and all are precious to me and only me! Also some ceramics my mom made in the 70s. Things with memories are the most important things. Linda
What a lovely vignette.
Love your vignette of old and new pretties! The antiques have a wonderful sentimental value and thanks for sharing the information about each one. The bowl from your mother given to you grandmother and now yours is my favorite. The pastel shades blend beautifully!
