Win luxe stationery with 7 Vignettes April & Blushing Confetti

We think it goes without saying that the sort of people who love playing 7 Vignettes have an appreciation for beautiful stationery, and that’s just what the winner of next month’s Instagram challenge can win! Thanks to our latest sponsor Blushing Confetti, we have these great themes and the winner will get a $250 stationery pack.

I love these themes, do you?!

Blushing Confetti are a Brisbane-based brand who design (and mostly print) everything right here in Australia. We love that they also hand assemble most of their packages, often adding a handwritten note. Cant beat the personal touch! As well as gorgeous stationery they also make prints for your home, calendars, wrapping paper and more. If it involves paper of gold foil, they’re into it!

For all the details about how to take part, go here. The fun starts on Saturday 1 April for seven days. Good luck and have fun!

Today, the company has seven retail showrooms in South Africa and one in Melbourne.

“I just love how 7 Vignettes inspires the creativity in anybody. I just had to get Weylandts Home involved in this fantastic creative outlet,” says sales consultant Luci Sleep. One lucky winner of 7 Vignettes will receive a signature Edgar chair valued at $895. Conceived as an homage to Weylandts’ founder, the Edgar is handcrafted in South Africa from a combination of the finest American Oak and natural leather.

The winner of 7 Vignettes November 2015 with Domayne

The winner is @stanadesigns! Congratulations!

Screen Shot 2015-11-09 at 4.19.19 pm

Rebecca Meier, Domayne’s digital and social media coordinator, said: “We were overwhelmed with the effort of the entries in the November 7 Vignettes competition! Some clever were people even creating things from scratch to participate. Wow! We had lots of fun monitoring the daily entries. It was extremely difficult to narrow it down to one daily winner as there were so many good vignettes.”

In the end, they did chose @Stanadesigns though. “After a group discussion over text on Sunday, we came to an agreement. We loved her styling and the way she has managed to create each theme in such a beautiful way! Knowing styling, we know how much effort would have gone into those vignettes, even though they looked so brilliantly effortless. Congratulations @Stanadesigns – we hope you enjoy your $200 Domayne gift voucher and homewares pack. Congratulations to the seven daily winners too, you all did a fab job!

Screen Shot 2015-11-09 at 4.19.36 pm

“It’s lovely to be involved in a fun, friendly and uplifting week. It’s not very often social media is filled with those things. Thanks Jen and the 7 Vignetters for a fun week!”

Thanks so much to Domayne for sponsoring our contest for the second time and to everyone who takes part, shares beautiful images and encourages others’ efforts!

Win a framed Hermès scarf in March 7 Vignettes

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?

This month's guest judge Jacinta Preston is back for more

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!
