French Vignette

December 3, 2012 By Spoonful of Sugar - 5 Comments

We love using items from around our home to make Christmas decorations. We put together a little French inspired Vignette on a cake stand. It reminds us of a snow globe.

We placed some white feathers on the base of the cake stand, and then arranged an Eiffel Tower and some snow covered trees on the base. We scattered a few silver and red bells on top of the feathers and decorated the top of the cake stand with our Joyeux Noel tag.
Joyeux Noel and Bonne Annee.
The Teens were in charge of decorating the tree on the weekend and they did a fabulous job using red, white, and silver decorations. We love the Eiffel Tower Ornaments and Keychains that we are using this year.

    I am part French Canadian and although I have never been to France, I love everything to do with Paris and the French culture. I have all kinds of French décor in my home. Since I have a sewing business, most of them are mannequins or fashion related. I love all of the things that you have made with the Eiffel tower and all the French touches. I will definitely be back checking for more inspiration! Thank you so much for the blog!
