January is a month of fresh beginnings.
I enjoy the sparseness of things after the tree is
down and other Christmas decorations
are packed away till next December.
To start off the new year, I gave the buffet a simple
vignette with a small painting, a touch of greens, and a
favorite MacKenzie-Childs vase filled with peonies.
The vase is the Cheltenham Thistle Vase.
It features sculptured thistle petals, hand-painted
Courtly Checks and Stripes, and a base of faux marble.
All of the work is done by talented artistans at
MacKenzie-Childs in Aurora, New York.
To create the faux marble, the artists paint with
natural sea sponges and use a bird
feather to create the veining.
Blush and pink peonies are the perfect mix
to give a nod to a fresh beginning.
Fluffy and full of fragrance, I was surprised to find
a bouquet of peonies available at the market.
Light and delicate, much like the
fresh feeling of a clean slate of the new year.
Here's to fresh beginnings!
