hermes scarf – The Interiors Addict

The winner of 7 Vignettes March

It’s Lou Masters! I could have sworn Lou was a previous winner but maybe she just should have won by now! Guest judge Jacinta Preston said: “Lou’s vignettes are like beautiful watercolours, fluid and very painterly, and it’s this painterly quality that makes her vignettes truly unique. It’s fabulous and creative storytelling.”

Lucky Lou wins an amazing framed Hermes scarf from Provincial Styles. Little bit jealous about that… Thanks to Fi Longmire for donating this generous prize. I loved this month, even though I was a bit absent online, attending a wedding in New Zealand where I was MC. Luckily I had the wonderful Jacinta — a second time guest judge for good reason — getting amongst it and being super involved.

Jacinta found the final decision really tough and wanted to give a special mention to Rachael Honner, whose pictures she also loved.

I crowdsourced the themes for this month, asking you all for your suggestions. My favourite had to be your interpretations of haft seen. So cool! This is my last 7 Vignettes in Australia for 6 months as Damian and I start our travel adventures this Thursday. This will be an excellent way for me to keep in touch with you while I’m away though. I’ll be sharing pix from Europe on Instagram of course, with the hashtag #addictabroad.

Follow Lou on Instagram. Find out how to take part in the next 7 Vignettes, including my short video interview with Block judge Darren Palmer about why he LOVES it, here. Lou, please contact us with your address.

This month we have a very unique and lovely prize for the winner: a framed Hermès scarf from Provincial Styles worth $560. Our guest judge, stylist Jacinta Preston, is back for a second turn as she can’t get enough of 7 Vignettes! And who can blame her?

Fiona Longmire, from Provincial Styles, loves all things French, and started making beautiful homewares from vintage and new Hermès scarves as part of her French-inspired online homewares business. Her framed scarves are divine. This hot pink one up for grabs is called Printemps Ete 69, and was first issued in 2010 . It represents women’s fashion over the past few decades.

One of the unique features of these scarves are the hand rolled edges. The framer hand stitches the scarf onto a board and then puts a second matt around the scarf, still leaving the edges of the scarf visible.

Here are the themes…

This month, I decided to crowdsource them and more than half of these are from you, the readers and participants. The most interesting is probably haft-seen, which is a traditional table setting of the Iranian spring celebration where seven items beginning with S are displayed. For our purposes, you can use ANY seven items beginning with S. Mixing it up a little and learning a little about other cultures in the meantime! Women is for International Womens Day in March and fashion is for the Hermès scarf prize. And Italian because Tuscany is the first stop on my big European adventure, starting this month.

Good luck to everyone taking part. 7 Vignettes starts on Saturday 1 March. Excuse me if I’m quiet but I’ll be in New Zealand being MC at my friend Amanda’s wedding!

Next month, I’ll be in Milan for the furniture fair halfway through 7 Vignettes. Eek. That’s going to be one exciting week!
