Just so you know, blog advertising does work. If you read The Nesting Place, you may recognize the footed bowl I am using in my Christmas buffet vignette. I spotted it there and then had to hit the Pier One when I was in Raleigh. I bought it and I love it.
It was the perfect centerpiece for my buffet and I’m sure you’ll see it in many other places in my home.
I simply gathered things from my Christmas trunks and the house and put them all together. There really isn’t a science to this vignette. It’s symmetrical and traditional.
I added some fresh cranberries around the candles and pine cones in the footed bowl. It’s nice to add natural elements when decorating with artificial greens and berries.
I used colors that would tie in nicely with my mantle, since they’re both in the family room.
I am linking my vignette to Rhoda’s Holiday Vignette Party.
PS – I have to share one awesome project made by Mitzi. She used a fluted baking pan and vintage ornaments to make this amazing wreath! She calls it a fruit cake wreath…this is one fruit cake I wouldn’t mind getting as a gift.
**Full disclosure. Mitzi is one of my sponsors, but she did not pay me to feature her wreath. I really, truly love it.

Your vignette is so pretty. I just love the traditional look. So Christmasy. The bowl is so fabulous. I wonder if Pier 1 still has them. And the wreath…wow!!! Well done, Mitzi!

Love all the bright red in your arrangement. I went with all copper in my living room this year, but I am using some traditional Christmas red in my decorating as well, which I haven't done in a while. Your buffet is lovely! 🙂
