I love the look of vignettes but yes, they are a pain to dust and the kids interfere with mine all the time...(me: "the russian dolls are not ACTUAL dolls, be careful!") Such a good idea to arrange them under a cloche. Then they will stay pretty and you'll only have to dust the glass.

My little fella had a 'collection' of sticks, stones, bones, pinecones, feathers, lumps of concrete...what ever he could find that kept coming into the house. I would then get tired of the clutter, and casually drop them out the first available window, (I know bad mama). Piles were mounting up out each window, so we set upon a set spot outside the door too. Over 6 months it was quite the pile, until one day we got home and someone had cleaned up while we were out. Distraught boy!... and a new collection begins :-)cityhippyfarmgirlhttp://cityhippyfarmgirl.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-33413963933226505572013-02-17T16:28:41.512+11:002013-02-17T16:28:41.512+11:00We have only had 'vignettes' recently.

I can remember having a sheep's skull under my bed for a few years as one son had to bring it home from a farm holiday and under our bed was where it happened to live for a while!

Terrible, I know! I am majorly minimal though (hence the lack of interior design prowess), so I think I'll just leave the outdoors... outdoors. I don't suppose the hundreds of eucalyptus leaves that are blown/trampled in through our back door counts!? There is always a nice collection of those on my lovely tiles. Oh and I winced at the stepping on a pine cone, that would be ridiculously painful. <br />xoAll For Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151973819133926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-86113136502685273432013-02-15T23:04:29.429+11:002013-02-15T23:04:29.429+11:00My vignettes stay in place for years and get dusty...My vignettes stay in place for years and get dusty.
