Valuable Vignettes

Courtyard Vignette at Domaine de Manion

There are many vignette definitions, noun and verb, but for my writing here, a vignette is simply a grouping of objects. Interesting objects I might add. A vignette can be anywhere there is a special spot, on a table, a buffet, inside your home, or out in the garden. The beauty is you can create it with any number of objects, pieces, and things to make a person’s eye pause to catch the totality of the objects assembled.

Some things to think about when creating a vignette:

Is there something of interest or unusual? Like this French cart.

Is there symmetry and balance? Like the two pots of geranium, sweet peas, and mums.

Does color play into this? Like the delicate pink blooms of the geranium and verbena.

Is there simplicity here? Like a gathering of random potted pots.
