Nativity & Snow Globes Christmas Vignette
5:56:00 AM
Do you have Christmas decorations that you love…but you just
can’t figure out how to display them? My husband and I have collected several
snow globes through the years, and I love nativity sets. I want to collect
more, but at the same time, neither of these are items that I can leave where
the kiddos can get to them. We’ve tried putting them up on the mantel, but
their size (relatively small) and the height of the mantel makes them feel…lost.
So this year, I decided to give a try to the peninsula bar that separates our
living room from our kitchen…and I love it!!
I love how the garland creates a base with all of these
little items rising up from it…the garland creates a unity I wouldn’t have with
just the globes.
The nutcracker was bought a few years back…it fits in
because it is too large for the tree, too small for the mantel, and is
something that little fingers are just itching to touch. We placed it on a gift
box that is in the shape of a drum!
This little nativity is my favorite. An old roommate of mine
brought it back from Haiti.
And then we allowed the nativities to spill onto the bookcase below.

We don’t use the upper bar for anything other than a dumping
ground, normally, so anything is truly a step up from what is normal for us. My
husband likes this vignette so much he is encouraging me to find some décor items
to put up on this bar to create a vignette year round.
Do you have any decorations that you just can’t figure out
what to do with? It’s only taken me five years in this house to figure this one
out!

My mom gave me part of her snowman collection... but I don't really have a bookcase or anything to put them on. I'm thinking of putting up some shelving for seasonal decorations like them. I want a nativity... *sigh*
