Coffee Table Vignette

I've spent the past week coming down with a sinus infection and feeling completely worn out but I feel I've made that turn around and I'm on my way back to good health again.

This time I used a saline nasal spray to help sooth my sinuses and it seemed to help a lot. 

I kept dragging my feet after the Christmas decorations were put away which seemed to take extra long this year.  My coffee and end tables sat blank for a while but I finally got around to them on Saturday.  We were blessed with a sun filled afternoon which brought my spirits up.   We had a very large winter storm come through late Thursday and Friday.  I think we got at least 12" of snow.

I decided to try a couple of small books to add to the tray vignette. 

I've been looking for a spot for the little clock and I think it fits here perfectly.

I used the decorative glass pieces in the bottom because it looked unfinished with just the spheres in the glass.  I thought about using moss but I wasn't sure if it could stain the spheres. 

Aren't they unusual!  The store clerk didn't know anything about them, but they look like bone a bone inlay to me.  They're crafted in India.

 I always keep Ron's book from "The Uptown Acorn" on the table too.  I got him to sign one for me and it tickles me to know someone that I've met through blogging that's been featured in a book!  He's a talented decorator and does a great job with his home in case you aren't familiar with him.  You can click on the link to visit him.

I finally got the dining room table cleared again (it was my working station for the holiday stuff while I was sorting organizing and putting it all away)  and I'll share what I've done there in a day or two.
