In my last post I asked for your feedback on the Mantel Mantle Party, and you overwhelmingly stated that it needed to move to once a month. Thank you so much for getting back to me, and phew, I’m so glad! I was feeling really sad about the possibility of having to kill my own party. I want to be the life of the party not the proverbial buzz killer. There were also a bunch of requests to change the name of the party to something more inclusive of all vignettes. Hmmmm. I’ll have to think on this one. Changing to once a month is going to be confusing (it’s easy to miss a once a month date) and then changing my graphic on top of it might also lose people. Perhaps I’ll keep the graphic and change the name to “Get ready, Set, Vignette!” or something equally corny. The horribly unoriginal “Mantel Party” has been grating on me for months. The utter lack of pizazz is just so not, well…us! So all this rambling to say that the next Mantelesque Ready Set Vignette (uh oh, I’m starting to like that) will be Friday, March 5th. I’ll update my button soon.
Hoosier Homemade Liz has a ton of fabulous Valentine’s inspiration going on right now. This is just a small sampling. Her mantel looks festive but just wait until you see her whoopie pies!
Songbird I don’t know if it’s because she painted a suitcase, or because she is Dutch (and so is that sweet label that says “linens”), or because this is just plain gorgeous, but Marianne’s guest table deserved to be featured. If you don’t know Marianne, you’ll want to. Go visit her.
So far I’m getting a lot of fearful “no way in Hades” type responses, but the party will STILL take place for the few, the proud, the brave, the naked faces!

Such cute mantles!!! I am glad you are going to once a month. I am excited to join in the next one. Did you say when it is going to be? I have a really fun idea that I want to work on for it!
You are amazing girl!

I like "ready set vignette". Am I the only person who doesn't do this??

Thanks so much for featuring my mantle. It was lots of fun! I'm excited about the new once a month theme, I'm looking forward to March 5th. Need to decide what I'm doing next…

Vignette. Love the word, love the idea! I'm sure it will be a success, corny name or not. And who says its corny? I think its catchy and perfect. 🙂

You changed your blog header or I'm just now starting to pay attention…a distinct possibility…but I wanted to say I lovvvvvve it! And the words you chose. PERFECT!
You'll get a lot of readers tuning in to see the comparatively few participants in the naked face party. I can't participate because my face is always naked. "It don't get no better'n this."

I love the new idea. I want to suggest that also, but I don't know you well enough yet to start bossing you around. Can't wait till the naked face party, I am so in.

I love the new name! I am constantly creating vignettes so this is perfect!
As for the face party, I am still seriously considering it!

I really like the Ready Set Vignette! I'm horrible at creating vignettes so maybe I'll pick up some inspiration!

LOL!!! I love the mantel headstone! Hilarous!!
Oh, that vignette party is an awesome idea! I'll be by! My fireplace? I like it right now so I won't be changing it until I land something better. Which is totally doubtful.
Vignettes? Oh yeahhhh! Love Ready Set Vignette myself. 🙂

Great to know the day has changed to March 5th. I hope I can get myself and stuff together to be part of the party again!! Sorry, but I am one of the scared and terrified faces so I will not participate in your Get Your face on party. Although, I will be stopping by to see all the brave ones that have!!
Jenny says
These are all so pretty!
I'm looking forward to the link up party on March 5th and I like the new name!
