I am always looking for ways to display items that are near and dear to my heart and I struggle when I try to place things that I love in a grouping that doesn't look fixed but natural and simple. I am drawn to rumpled linens in colors of stone, grey, and white, lavender buds, and old, worn, faded items and whenever I come across vignettes that have this look I like to spend time wondering about the items and the history that surrounds them.
I found some very lovely photos via e-magDECO taken by Laetitia Russetto who is the magazine founder and writer. These photos are of a beautiful old farmhouse in Au Bend Of An Alley, a charming village near Uzes decorated by a woman named Christine that Laetitia did an article on. I think these are gorgeous vignettes and wanted to share them with you.

Great view from the top looking down. I love the Chandelier and floors. |

I love the patina on this clock as well as the books stacked upon the cabinet. |
Here are a few more vignettes from Pinterest that are really lovely as well.

I love the mirror. |

Look at this beautiful grey bookshelf and all the beautiful books.

Simple Beauty |
All of these vignettes are gorgeous and each have items that hold special memories. Some perhaps, given or purchased as a memento. Sometimes, a simple ribbon, twine, old letters, books, and pottery placed in just the right way can make a beautiful statement about the person who created them.
