The day is fairly grey here and this morning I badly needed a shot of colour. A quick tour of the garden revealed that very few blooms have survived our early frosts, so I knew that I’d have to rely on what I had to hand.
I quickly assembled some of my favourite objects in the house, painted trays, old and frayed books, a small oil painting and of course some jugs.
I don’t know why jugs are so easy and such fun to collect, but people world over seem to assemble them on shelves, in groups, or on their table. A jug can be mismatched, can be unique, it can even be chipped, it still holds its charm.
I tried to use some turquoise pieces to match the colours of the old books.
The simplest flowers: rusty hydrangeas and the very last dahlias and that is it. My entrance hall looks a little more welcoming for the weekend.
Even Ghetto was willing to pose in the vignette, so it can’t all be bad!

I love the round tray! But Ghetto stole the show! ha.
Bonjour Ghetto! Always a delight to see you, cher Monsieur! 🙂 Love your turquoize pieces. They "pop." Here in Seattle's suburbia where so much looks either grey (the sky) or dark green (some trees and the ubiquitous moss,) I have decorated my living room with touches of turquoize and orange. It is a "happy room" year round. Bon weekend, Sharon. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I was enjoying the pictures and how beautiful everything looks, thinking it doesn't get better than that….. and then, cute little Ghetto made it all perfect. What a great image with him sitting on guard.
have a wonderful weekend.
Ghetto makes a great model! Such a lovely vignette, Sharon. That first photo looks like a still life painting. Happy weekend to you and your family – the two-legged and four-legged ones, too. XO
Dear Sharon, I love your creation, it is lovely and the shot of color always makes me feel good! Have a wonderful weekend!

What a selection of lovely photos, with the turquoise jug & book making the focal point, But for me the best focal point was your little treasure Ghetto.

Love that color and the soft look in your lovely photos!
I have to agree with the ladies above. Pretty vignette, but Ghetto stole the show!
Hello Ghetto, you're a natural infront of the camera. The vignette is very pretty. Everything looks natural together. The dahlias look beautiful in the turquoise, white and cream jugs.
Oh, I am so smitten with the turquoise along with the soft pinks!
Oh, ghetto is pretty darn cute!!! =D
heh, heh…. I wonder how many millions of ladies have said the very same thing before me…. 😉
Oh! ….a lot!!! =]
Ghetto puts such a smile on my face.
The pretty yellow and turquoises are sunshiny.
It's a lovely vignette!
Sharon,
What a lovely vignette, the pretty flowers, and the turquoise looks so bright and cheery arranged on the table. At first, I thought Ghetto was a stuffed dog because he was sitting so still! HAH He is so adorable!
I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
