Old World – Frenchy Accessories

I’ve been asked about the easels that I use so often in my vignettes.  I have a couple different styles and sizes and they add so much to my displays.

This one is definitely one of my favorites.  I have this same one in the large size and the medium size. I am using the medium one here to display my grandson’s baby picture.  It adds such elegance to the vignette and so much old world/frenchy charm with the scrolls and the added detail on the two floral tips.  I found it at Home Goods and I still see them there.  They are only $6.99, so that’s a ton of drama and ambience for the price.

This is the large one.  It holds a larger frame nicely and is taller so it is wonderful to use in the background.

I love finding ornate frames and creating a picture gallery.

You can also use these in a much less formal display.  One of my bookcases has room for a couple of pics and I have a cow picture displayed on the medium one in this vignette.

It doesn’t have to look formal, it just adds character and a touch of old world charm.

I have another one that is wrought iron.  It is large enough for a full size plate.  Very informal, but depending on how you use it in a vignette it can work in any setting.  I found this one at Ross for around $7.  I have also seen them at TJMaxx for reasonable prices and many different styles to choose from.

I think this one works perfect with the silver tray and glass hurricane vignette.

I really like that they are unusual and so versatile.  I love to find things that can be used in a number of ways.  I have used them to hold books, and even an open cookbook in the kitchen.

Do you use them and do you have any unique way to display your treasures?
